Development of a low-cost robotic squirrel for the study of small animal behavior
(2019-12)
This project focuses on building a low-cost remote controlled Robot Squirrel to support the study of small animal behavior. It can also be implemented as an educational tool for all the stages of the educational systems, ...
IEEE floating-point extension for managing error using residual registers
(2019-12)
This thesis discusses modifications to IEEE 754 floating-point units to help researchers and scientists monitor and control errors in scientific applications as well as provide faster method for extending precision compared ...
Interference mitigation effects on synthetic aperture radar coherent data products
(2015-07)
Both radio frequency interference from sources external to the synthetic aperture radar system and techniques to mitigate radio frequency interference can degrade the quality of the image products. Often it is the second ...
Hybrid machine learning approaches for scene understanding: From segmentation and recognition to image parsing
(2017-05)
We alleviate the problem of semantic scene understanding by studies on object segmentation/recognition and scene labeling methods respectively. We propose new techniques for joint recognition, segmentation and pose estimation ...
Efficient schemes to size transistors for optimal delay by solving fanout branches with balancing algorithm
(2015-05)
High performance digital system requires minimal logic and properly sized transistor to operate in all PVT corners. Specifically, high-speed data-path design is mostly about optimizing the system for better timing. In this ...
Study of RSSI Localization Performance Using LoRaWAN and SDR
(2019-07)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing in size by having more devices connected to it as they are becoming low-cost to manufacture and easier to connect to the internet. New use cases are being created by the need for ...
Sparse signal recovery and detection utilizing side information
(2017-10)
In this dissertation, we investigate the signal recovery and detection task for compressive sensing and wireless spectrum sensing. First, we investigate the compressive sensing task for the difference frames of videos. ...
Improved IPTV channel change times through multicast caching of pre-selected channels
(2014-12)
IPTV has grown in recent years to an estimated 100 million users worldwide. IPTV uses IGMP processes to stream an individual channel to a user until the next channel change when the current channel is stopped and the new ...
Visual masking in natural scenes: Database, models, and an application to perceptual image coding
(2015-05)
Studies of visual masking have provided a wide range of important insights into the processes involved in visual coding. However, very few of these studies have employed natural scenes as masks, and little is known on how ...
