Computational Electromagnetics Applied to Scattering Observed by Polarimetric Weather Radar
(2015-12-18)
The primary topics of this dissertation are issues existing in the current ensemble scattering procedures. These procedures are failing to quantitatively reproduce polarimetric signatures from resolution volumes filled ...
Modulation Domain Image Processing
(2012)
The classical Fourier transform is the cornerstone of traditional linear
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 ...
Advances in Synthetic Aperture Radar from a Wavenumber Perspective
(2017-12-15)
This dissertation examines the wavenumber domain of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. This domain is the inverse Fourier transform domain of a SAR image. The dissertation begins with the radar receiver's signal model ...
Theoretical analysis of and bias correction for planar and cylindrical polarimetric phased array weather Radar
(2014-08-15)
Planar or Cylindrical Phased Arrays are two candidate antennas for the future polarimetric weather radar. These two candidate antennas have distinctly different attributes when used to make quantitative measurements of the ...
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 ...
Frequency-Agile Microwave Filters For Radars With Simultaneous Transmission and Reception
(2015-12)
Multi-band/multi-mode wireless communication systems have been receiving increased attention recently due to their potential for spectrum management in a dynamic spectral environment. Similarly radar systems, which can ...
HUMAN DETECTION AND TRACKING ENHANCING SECURITY SYSTEMS AT PORTS OF ENTRY
(2011)
The dissertation undertakes the critical application of establishing smarter surveillance systems to improve security measures in various environments. Human detection and tracking are two image processing methods that ...
The Atmospheric Imaging Radar for High Resolution Observations of Severe Weather
(2012)
Mobile weather radars often utilize rapid scan strategies when collecting obser- vations of severe weather. Various techniques have been used to improve volume update times, including the use of agile and multi-beam radars. ...
Distributed Computation of Graph Spectrum, Eigenvector Centrality, and Solution to Linear Equations
(2017-12-15)
This dissertation is devoted to the development of distributed algorithms, with which nodes in a large decentralized network can accomplish tasks that are seemingly difficult without an omniscient central node. The tasks ...
