A hybrid weighted interacting particle filter, the selectively resampling particle filter (SERP), is used to detect and track multiple ships maneuvering in a region of water. The ship trajectories exhibit nonlinear dynamics and interact in a nonlinear manner such that the ships do not collide....

3D reconstruction of quadruped animals is a challenging problem, where key issues lie in their large shape variety and deformation within the same animal species as well as the lack of sufficient training data. In this thesis, we present two approaches toward this task. Our first approach is a...

Body posture predicting methods have many applications, including product design, ergonomic workplace design, human body simulation, virtual reality and animation industry. Initiated in robotics, Inverse Kinematic (IK) method has been widely applied to proactive human body posture estimation. The...

Photo-realistic renderings of humans are required for real-time graphics applications, and accurate human models are useful in applications such as model-based tracking. Non-rigid deformations of humans, e.g., deforming cloth and muscle bulging, are hard to model geometrically and are inefficient...

Intrafractional tumour tracking is of considerable interest as a means to minimize the PTV in treating mobile tumours. By utilizing the intrafractional MR imaging feature of linac-MR, this thesis seeks to develop a direct, non-surrogate based intrafractional tumour tracking system, and physically...

Needle Shape Visualization, Tracking and Steering Control for Permanent Prostate Brachytherapy Applications
DownloadFall 2016
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancers in North American males, afflicting one in eight men over the course of their lifetime. Fortunately, early-stage prostate cancer has a wide variety of treatment options. One such option, permanent prostate brachytherapy, has been...
