Towards efficient search methods in object tracking: An evaluation and application to precise tracking
DownloadFall 2015
Object tracking is a much researched subject in the computer vision community. With more and more tracking algorithms reported every year, standard benchmarking and evaluation methods are reported for long term tracking systems. We present a public dataset to evaluate trackers used for human and...

Fall 2023
Exploration methods for diamonds often employ the geochemistry of single minerals to identify deposits. Due to the scarcity of diamonds, exploration practices use minerals known as “kimberlite indicator minerals” as these minerals are typically more abundant than diamond and may have equilibrated...

Towards Molecular Quantum Computing: Laser Pulse Shaping of Quantum Logic Gates on Diatomic Molecules
DownloadFall 2012
The intent of this study is to determine the feasibility of diatomics as molecular quantum computing candidates and shed insight into the use of such experimental laser pulse shaping methods to represent quantum logic gates. Four appropriate rovibrational states of model diatomic molecules are...

Towards More Efficient and Economical Phosphorus and Bioenergy Recovery from Source-Diverted Blackwater
DownloadFall 2023
Decentralized source-diverted blackwater resource recovery represents an attractive wastewater management approach. Source-diverted blackwater refers to toilet wastewater, with or without kitchen wastewater, containing over half of the domestic biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) load and over 90% of...
