Deep Iterative Convolutional Neural Network For Face Image Super-Resolution, Hein Htet Aung
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Face images are often used today for many purposes, including facial identification and recognition. Face identification is used in security to trace crimes. The face application performs poorly due to the camera's low quality and environmental degradation issues. In this thesis, we explore face image super-resolution, which raises low-resolution to high resolution images. We proposed a deep iterative convolutional neural network using attention mechanisms and spatial feature transformation for face super-resolution. The input low-resolution image is enlarged into a super-resolution face image. Then, the image has repeatedly estimated the alignment to enhance the super-resolution image. The experiment was conducted on …

Development Of A Fluxgate Magnetometer Model, Eleonora Olsmats
Honors Theses and Capstones
As a part of the UNH SWFO-L1 mission to monitor space weather and the sun’s behavior, the fluxgate magnetometer is an important component to measure external magnetic fields. The basic principle of a fluxgate magnetometer is to detect changes in the ambient magnetic field by inducing a magnetic field in a ferromagnetic material via a drive winding. Each magnetometer is unique due to the ferromagnetic properties of the core material which can be seen in the hysteresis loop which is a relationship between the magnetic field strength (H) and the induced magnetic field (B). Measuring the hysteresis of a fluxgate …

Design And Learning-Based Decoding Of Low-Density-Parity-Check Codes For Multiterminal Communication, Salman Habib
Dissertations
The field of information theory was initiated by Claude Shannon in 1948. According to his most notable work, data can be transmitted reliably over a noisy communication channel with high probability, as long as a suitable coding scheme is employed to protect the data from channel noise. Since then, coding theorists have made numerous attempts to design low-complexity error correcting schemes which achieve the Shannon limit.
In the 1960s, Robert Gallager introduced sparse graph-based low-density-parity-check (LDPC) codes which are practically suitable for various coding applications, mainly due to their low encoding and decoding complexity compared to classical codes (e.g., Reed-Muller …

Indoor Positioning Using Synchronized Ultrasonic Ofdma Signals, Julian Bartolone
Master's Theses
This paper proposes a method of short-range indoor localization using differential phase measurements of synchronized two-tone ultrasonic signals in an Orthogonal Frequency Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme. This indoor positioning system (IPS) operates at an ultrasonic frequency of approximately 40kHz and synchronizes using an infrared signal. The OFDMA scheme allows for a receiver to process the signals from multiple transmitters continuously without the signals interfering with each other. The phases of the signals are measured using Goertzel Filters, allowing for low-complexity frequency content analysis. A MATLAB simulation using the proposed localization method is performed using four transmitter nodes in the corners …
