IMAGE AND VIDEO ENHANCEMENT USING SPARSE CODING, BELIEF PROPAGATION AND MATRIX COMPLETION
(2014-12-01)
Super resolution as an exciting application in image processing was studied widely
in the literature. This dissertation presents new approaches to video super resolution,
based on sparse coding and belief propagation. ...
High-performance InAs-based interband cascade lasers
(2016-05)
Currently, there are only two types of mid-infrared lasers that are capable of continuous-wave (CW) operation above room temperature: quantum cascade (QC) lasers and interband cascade (IC) lasers. Both of them share the ...
TOWARD ENHANCED WIRELESS COEXISTENCE IN THE 2.4GHZ ISM BAND VIA TEMPORAL CHARACTERIZATION AND EMPIRICAL MODELING OF 802.11B/G/N NETWORKS A DISSERTATION
(2016)
This dissertation presents an extensive experimental characterization and empirical modelling of 802.11 temporal behavior. A detailed characterization of 802.11b/g/n homogeneous and heterogeneous network traffic patterns ...
Biometric Classification with Factor Analysis
(2010)
This research presents a study on biometrics classification using Factor Analysis (FA). As a multivariate statistical tool, factor analysis is useful for understanding the underlying structure in a dataset. Moreover, in ...
REVEALING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ELECTRICITY MARKET UNDERLYING POWER SYSTEM USING POWER SYSTEM PRINCIPLES AND PUBLISHED MARKET RESULTS
(2014)
In this dissertation we provide a novel estimation framework designed and structured on duality theory for estimation of some key parameters in electricity markets. Specifically, the framework uses financial transmission ...
Pricing in Multi-Service Communication Networks: A Game-theoretic Approach
(2011)
The promise of multi-class communication networks is gradually becoming a reality. The term multi-class means that the network provides different classes of service that can support diverse application requirements and ...
Advances in Modeling and Signal Processing for Bit-Patterned Magnetic Recording Channels with Written-In Errors
(2012)
In the past perpendicular magnetic recording on continuous media has served as the storage mechanism for the hard-disk drive (HDD) industry, allowing for growth in areal densities approaching 0.5 Tb/in2. Under the current ...
THEORY, DESIGN, AND SIMULATION OF LINA: A PATH FORWARD FOR QCA-TYPE NANOELECTRONICS
(2012)
The past 50 years have seen exponential advances in digital integrated circuit technologies which has facilitated an explosion of uses and functionality. Although this rate (generally referred to as "Moore's Law") cannot ...
WIRELESS OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER DESIGN, LINK ANALISYS AND ALIGNMENT CONTROL FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION
(2013)
Pointing, acquisition and tracking of a free-space optical node in a mobile network experiencing misalignment due to adverse factors including vibration, motion and atmospheric turbulence requires a different approach than ...
Applications of Gaussian Mixture Model to Weather Observations
(2011)
The estimation of weather parameters such as attenuation and rainfall rates from weather radar data has been based mainly on deterministic regression models. The applications of a Bayesian approach to weather parameters ...
