High-Fidelity and Perfect Reconstruction Techniques for Synthesizing Modulation Domain Filtered Images
(2016-12-16)
Biomimetic processing inspired by biological vision systems has long been a goal of the image processing research community, both to further understanding of what it means to perceive and interpret image content and to ...
MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ROLLER DRUM AND PAVEMENT MATERIAL DURING COMPACTION
(2016)
The problem of ensuring real time control of compaction quality during pavement construction is considered in this dissertation. Asphalt pavements are complex, multilayer, heterogeneous structures where different layers ...
QUANTUM SECURE COMMUNICATION USING POLARIZATION HOPPING MULTI-STAGE PROTOCOLS
(2016)
This dissertation presents a study of the security and performance of a quantum communication system using multi-stage multi-photon tolerant protocols. Multi-stage protocols are a generalization of the three-stage protocol ...
DISTRIBUTED ESTIMATION OF CENTRALITY MEASURES IN COMPLEX NETWORKS
(2016-12-16)
Knowing how important a node or an edge is, within a network, can be very valuable, for instance, in identifying those who are susceptible to malicious attacks, those who are bottlenecks to network performances, and those ...
Application of Compressive Sensing to Weather Radars
(2016-12-16)
The capability and importance of weather radar are proven for hazardous weathers detection, monitoring, and prediction in both research and operations. Continuous efforts have been made in improving radar performance in ...
Digital Predistortion of Pseudo-Orthogonal Wideband Waveforms for Dual-Polarimetric Phased Array Radars
(2016-05)
Many new and interesting radar operational modes and techniques are being explored to maximize the efficiency and utility of next-generation radar systems while complying with increasingly stringent operational and budgeting ...
Real-time 3-D Scene Reconstruction
(2016-05)
This dissertation describes a complete system that captures image data from multiple stereoscopic camera pairs and reconstructs a 3-D model of the imaged scene in real-time. To achieve real-time rates, the system is organized ...
Two dimensional signal processing for storage channels
(2016)
Over the past decade, storage channels have undergone a steady increase in capacity.
With the prediction of achieving 10 Tb/in2 areal density for magnetic recording
channels in sight, the industry is pushing towards di ...
IV-VI MATERIALS & DEVICES FOR THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC (TPV) POWER GENERATION
(2016-12-16)
IV-VI semiconductors, with direct gap conduction and valence band extrema at the L-point in k-space, are characterized by four-fold L-valley degeneracy. Prior work [1] has shown that this degeneracy can be removed with ...
FULLY AUTONOMOUS SELF-POWERED INTELLIGENT WIRELESS SENSOR FOR REAL-TIME TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE IN SMART CITIES
(2016-12-18)
Reliable, real-time traffic surveillance is an integral and crucial function of the 21st century intelligent transportation systems (ITS) network. This technology facilitates instantaneous decision-making, improves roadway ...
