Automatic Classification And Segmentation Of Patterned Martian Ground Using Deep Learning Techniques, Ruthy Brito
Automatic Classification And Segmentation Of Patterned Martian Ground Using Deep Learning Techniques, Ruthy Brito
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Science autonomy onboard spacecraft can optimize image return by prioritizing downlink of meaningful data. Martian polygonally cracked ground is actively studied by planetary geologists and may be indicative of subsurface water. Filtering images containing these polygonal features can be used as a case study for science autonomy and to reduce the overhead associated with parsing through Martian surface images. This thesis demonstrates the use of deep learning techniques in the classification of Martian polygonally patterned ground from HiRISE images. Three tasks are considered, a binary classification to identify images containing polygons, multiclass classification distinguishing different polygon types and semantic segmentation …

Autonomous 3d Urban And Complex Terrain Geometry Generation And Micro-Climate Modelling Using Cfd And Deep Learning, Tewodros F. Alemayehu
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Sustainable building design requires a clear understanding and realistic modelling of the complex interaction between climate and built environment to create safe and comfortable outdoor and indoor spaces. This necessitates unprecedented urban climate modelling at high temporal and spatial resolution. The interaction between complex urban geometries and the microclimate is characterized by complex transport mechanisms. The challenge to generate geometric and physics boundary conditions in an automated manner is hindering the progress of computational methods in urban design. Thus, the challenge of modelling realistic and pragmatic numerical urban micro-climate for wind engineering, environmental, and building energy simulation applications should address …
Deep Learning For Detection Of Upper And Lower Body Movements, Kyle B. Lacroix
Deep Learning For Detection Of Upper And Lower Body Movements, Kyle B. Lacroix
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
When humans repeat the same motion, the tendons, muscles, and nerves can be damaged, causing repetitive stress injuries (RSI). Symptoms usually begin slowly and become more intense and constant over time. If the motions that lead to RSI are recognized early, these injuries can be prevented. A preventative approach could be implemented in factories to warn workers about possible injuries. By detecting the movements that can cause RSI, the worker can be alerted to stop carrying out those movements. For this purpose, machine learning models can detect human motion with the human activity recognition (HAR) model. HAR models typically require …
Pt-Net: A Multi-Model Machine Learning Approach For Smarter Next-Generation Wearable Tremor Suppression Devices For Parkinson's Disease Tremor, Anas Ibrahim
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative condition that can cause tremors and other motor and non motor related symptoms. Medication and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are often used to treat tremor; however, medication is not always effective and has adverse effects, and DBS is invasive and carries a significant risk of complications. Wearable tremor suppression devices (WTSDs) have been proposed as a possible alternative, but their effectiveness is limited by the tremor models they use, which introduce a phase delay that decreases the performance of the devices. Additionally, the availability …
