Carbon and water fluxes are essential components of biospheric processes which directly or indirectly influence climate, surface energy balance, hydrologic processes and hence influence the vegetation productivity, distribution and characteristics. In this research, promising techniques for...

Terrestrial vegetation contributes strongly to dynamic biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of mass and energy, through activities such as photosynthesis, that help shape the Earth’s climate. The boreal forest is located in high latitudes and subject to large seasonal temperature fluctuations and a...

Photoacoustic imaging systems have proven to be power tools for visualizing optical absorption contrast within highly turbid media such as biological tissues. They provide high chromophore specificity in vivo due to the dramatic optical absorption contrast which exists between biological targets....

Predictive Mapping of Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) Density and Abundance in the Western Boreal Forest via Ground and Satellite Remote Sensors
DownloadFall 2019
The Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) is a small, secretive, wetland bird, which is apparently rare throughout most of its range. Almost nothing is known about its abundance and density in the wetlands of the western boreal forest. Emerging technologies have enabled us to effectively...

The objective of signal decomposition is to extract and separate distinct signal components from a composite signal. Signal decomposition has been studied in many applications, such as image, video, audio, and speech signals. This thesis focuses on the category of signal decomposition on...

While research has been done in North America on the uses of various near surface geophysical techniques on european settler sites, the pre-contact sites of the First Nations people are often seen as too difficult to interpret separately from the environment they are in. This research set out to...

Scalable Solutions to Image Abnormality Detection and Restoration using Limited Contextual Information
DownloadFall 2020
Detecting and interpreting image abnormalities and restoring images are essential to many processing pipelines in diverse fields. Challenges involved include randomness and unstructured nature of image artefacts (from signal processing perspective) and performance constraints imposed by...

Pattern recognition aims to differentiate patterns and regularities across diverse data types. Pattern recognition can identify unfamiliar objects, localize objects from various perspectives or resolutions, and infer patterns even when they are partially occluded. The ubiquity of sensors in...

Studying structural changes in tropical forests is essential for understanding changes in ecosystem complexity. In this thesis, I studied changes in ecosystem structure using two different airborne Light Detection and Range (LiDAR) systems collected 16-years apart (the 2005 dry season and the...
