The field of computer assisted radiology has recently seen an explosion of novel techniques that have been made possible due to advancements in computer algorithms. …
Many types of data observed in high dimensional spaces typically lie on or near low-dimensional manifolds and have much lower intrinsic dimension. Visual data captured …
With the rise of computer-aided design and automated fabrication machines, many people bemoan the loss of “hands-on” crafts. This thesis is about assisting "hands-on" users …
We develop new representations and algorithms for three-dimensional (3D) scene understanding from images and videos. To model cluttered indoor scenes, we introduce object descriptors that …
Automatic recognition and segmentation of objects in images is a central open problem in computer vision. The failure of the segmentation-then-recognition paradigm to produce reliable …
This thesis studies several aspects of the application of Structured Light (SL) for shape measurement in a process called 3D~scanning. SL uses a camera to …
Microphone arrays have been used in environments that require remote speech acquisition - cars, desk recording systems, teleconferencing and judicial proceedings to name a few. …
Thanks to the recent advances in computer science and engineering, computational algorithms to solve digitized jigsaw puzzles have been developed to assist people in assembling …
This thesis develops novel algorithms to automate video analysis for fixed monocular surveillance cameras. Specifically, change detection algorithms are proposed to identify spatio-temporal locations in …
Normalized cross-correlation (NCC) is a powerful matching tool used for finding corresponding features between two signals. In computer vision applications, NCC can be used to …
Hardware accelerators and custom computing platforms are being widely used in high-throughput computation domains. With the wide usage, there is also an increasing need to …
Automated estimation of the geometry and appearance of surfaces from aerial imagery is an active research topic with applications in computer vision, remote sensing, robotics …
In the past decade, power consumption has become the primary factor in overall microprocessor design complexity due to ideal geometric scaling and non-ideal electrical scaling. …
