A three-dimensional (3-D) visualization system for serial microscope images is developed with special reference to its application in microscopy and cell biology. The 3-D visualization system involves three process stages, ...
The development of large dense arrays of smaller antennas and moderate-sized antennas equipped with multi-beam arrays in the next generation of radio telescopes, such as the square kilometre array (SKA), is making 3D ...
This dissertation presents a novel underwater machine vision technique which uses
the optical properties of water to extract range information from colour images. By
exploiting the fact that the attenuation of light in ...
Testimonies of “wireless catching up with wireline” have begun. However, the nonstationary and hostile nature of the wireless channel impose the greatest threat to reliable data transmission over wireless links. The ...
The concept of reciprocal acoustical travel-time measurements as a means of determining path-averaged currents is well established. We have designed an instrument to exploit this principle in studies of the boundary layer ...
The work presented in this thesis consists of two parts: development and application of a novel passive acoustical approach for field measurement of breaking surface waves, and interpretation of the resulting observations ...
The thesis focuses on fast acquisition techniques for spread spectrum packet radio communications systems. Matched filters are often used to achieve fast acquisitions. A new synchronizer using multiple acquisition detection ...
The field of Adaptive Music Technology is rapidly expanding and evolving. While there have been a number of theses and dissertations devoted to the study of new computer music instrument design for persons with disabilities, ...
Internet traffic is increasing exponentially, driven by new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and rich streaming media. The traditional IP router becomes a bottleneck for further Internet expansion due to its ...
The field of digital image compression has been intensively explored to obtain ever improved performance corresponding to a given bit budget. The DCT-based JPEG standard remains to be one of the most popular image compression ...
GPU Computing promises very high performance per watt for highly-parallelizable workloads.
Nowadays, there are various programming models developed to utilize the computational power of GPGPUs.
Low-level programming ...
This thesis presents new procedures and guidelines for the design of advanced microwave filters. Practical implementations include dual-band, multi-band and ultra-wideband filters for applications in wireless and ...
Wideband beamforming have been widely used in modern radar systems. One of the powerful wideband beamforming techniques that is capable of achieving a high selectivity over a wide bandwidth is the nested array (NA) beamformer. ...
Existing endpoint security monitors use agents that must be installed on every
computing host or endpoint. However, as the number of monitored hosts increases,
agents installation, con figuration and maintenance become ...
Wireless communications have recently gained much popularity in various commercial applications. Because of the peculiar characteristic of radio channels, the ability for communicators to stand various kinds of interference ...
The combined series and shunt active filters have been proposed to alleviate the power
quality problems at the demand-side power systems. They provide compensation for
load reactive power, load harmonics, unbalanced ...
A plethora of application scenarios are rapidly emerging within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) in possibly every industrial and market vertical. Accordingly, the wireless infrastructure should be able to ...
This thesis uses data from a real-world distributed system to develop a model for realistic load tests, and analyzes the results of several different workload scenarios on a test deployment. The research focused on ...
Microprocessor architecture has changed significantly since Intel Corporation developed the first commercial computer chip in the 1970s. The modern processors are much smaller and more powerful than their predecessors. ...
This thesis deals with design algorithms for filter banks based on optimization. The design specifications consist of the perfect reconstruction and frequency response specifications for finite impulse response (FIR) ...
