This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Spring 2019
3D reconstruction is an important topic in both computer vision and computer graphics. Many techniques have been proposed for objects with Lambertian reflectance. It assumes that the reflected light from the object surface is uniformly distributed in all directions. However, light interacts with...

The recovery of 3D information from 2D images is a well-studied problem in computer vision, with many competing methods that can achieve highly accurate results. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the problem of 3D reconstruction in underwater environments. When cameras are...

Fall 2011
A fundamental component of stereo vision is that of epipolar geometry. It shows that the corresponding point of a pixel in one image is restricted to a line in another image. When a refractive surface is introduced, such as in underwater imaging, this constraint no longer holds. Instead, the...
