Rapid Prototyping For The Design Of Virtual Worlds, Prabhu V. Krishnan

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Development of Virtual Reality (VR) applications is challenging where application developers are required to have expertise in the target VR technologies along with the problem domain expertise. New VR technologies impose a significant learning curve to even the most experienced VR developer. The proposed solution relies on synthesis to automate the migration of a VR application to a new unfamiliar VR platform/technology. To solve the problem, the Common Scene Definition Framework (CSDF) was developed, that serves as a superset/model representation of the target virtual world. Input modules were developed to populate the framework with the capabilities of the virtual world …

An Investigation Into The Concepts And Applicability Of Agent Technologies, Anne White

Theses

The software world is one of great richness and diversity

Even though the concept of software agents date back to the days of AI (Artificial Intelligence) work (1970’s) the word “Agent” is currently in vogue in the computing press and computer science communities.

This thesis presents a review of the ongoing evolution of software agents, places agents in context within today’s software domain, and takes a closer look at the ongoing debate of what really constitutes an '"Agenf\ The numerous dimensions of classification are studied and an opinion of the attributes that an agent should encompass is put forward. Leading …

Analisa Perkataan: Rumi Dan Jawi, Mohamad Emilinda

Student Works (2000-2009)

Rumi dan Jawi adalah suatu projek yang cuba dibangunkan bagi memenuhi keperluan suatu perisian bantu yang dapat menukarkan perkataan bertulisan Jawi kepada Rumi dan sebaliknya. Selain daripada berfungsi sebagai alat penukaran perkataan, sistem ini juga bertindak sebagai alat yang akan mendedahkan kepada pengguna mengenai morfologi bahasa. Di mana dalam kajian morfologi ini, akan dititikberatkan kepada bahagian imbuhan sahaja. Pengguna akan dapat memasukkan sebarang perkataan yang berimbuhan samada dalam bahasa Jawi atau Rumi dan kemudian proses penukaran perkataan akan dilakukan. Projek ini dilihat sebagai suatu keperluan kerana sebelum ini telah ada usaha pembangunan alat penukaran Rumi-Jawi dan alat penukaran Jawi-Rumi sebagai …

Velocity Estimation Via A Neural Network Enhanced By Classical Detection Algorithms, Zeki Berk Hamşioğlu

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The goal of this research is to show how to solve a velocity estimation problem using a neural network connected to an array of sensors. Motivated by biological studies involving insect vision, the neural network utilized is a member of a class of shunting neural networks. When an object moves across the face of the sensor array, the neural network's pulse response is first temporally located using classical M-ary detection techniques. Both the deterministic and stochastic cases are considered. Then the network's pulse response is post-processed via an existing velocity estimation algorithm based on a Volterra series model of the …
