The need for increasingly high resolution 3D models and the cost in processing high resolution polygonal meshes have made 3D point clouds an alternative for many researchers in recent years. Considerable research has been devoted to various areas of point clouds. This thesis presents three...

A robotically-controlled actuation system has been developed and built to perform active open-loop flow control experiments on transitional and turbulent backward-facing step flows in water. Control of the reattaching shear layer used hydraulic suction-and-blowing actuation emanating from 128...

In the development of a numerical model for the water cycle on Mars, adsorption of water vapour in the Martian regolith acts as a significant sink and retards the transport of mass. Adsorption on Mars cannot be studied directly, so a numerical model was created, and a diffusion sorption...

Convolutional Neural Networks have outperformed traditional image processing approaches for many image classification tasks. However, despite achieving high classification accuracy on multiple datasets, these machine learning approaches are not transparent and act more like a black box. For this...

The Smart-Condo™ project investigates how technology can be used to unobtrusively observe and support seniors to live independently in their homes longer. Sensors embedded in the environment react to the people’s daily-living activities and the recorded readings are analyzed to recognize these...

Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Visualization has long been used in journalism to facilitate news storytelling. Media outlets applying visualization techniques in the news articles to communicate information efficiently and intuitively. This thesis aims to explore the way that visualization is applied in digital journalism with...

With the trend of global urbanization, underground space is being more and more exploited. To fulfill the need of sustainable development of underground space, it is necessary to well document the as-built positions of the facilities we have built. In the current practice, the as-built models are...

Simulation is often used to model production processes with the aim of understanding and improving them. In many cases, however, information produced by simulation is not detailed enough and can be misinterpreted. The use of visualization in combination with simulation can provide project...

This thesis consists of three projects based on exploring igneous processes on two parent bodies: the HED (howardite-eucrite-diogenite) parent body and Mars. The HED parent body is an asteroidal parent body (possibly Vesta) that differentiated rapidly in the early solar system; Mars is a planet...
