A Cluster based Free Viewpoint Video System using Region-tree based Scene Reconstruction
Fall 2009
Free viewpoint video (FVV) has been widely speculated as one of the next generation of visual media applications. By taking advantage of camera array based multiple imaging techniques, FVV enables free viewpoint navigation to invoke a sense of “being immersed” for the viewers. This thesis...

Sensor technologies are improving fast: sensors are being developed to record more types of phe- nomena in improving precisions, and they are becoming less expensive. The vision is that sensor networks deployed across large spaces, attached to important infrastructure, and embedded in our...

Stereopsis is the process of inferring the distance to objects from two or more images. It has applications in areas such as: novel-view rendering, motion capture, autonomous navigation, and topographical mapping from remote sensing data. Although it sounds simple, in light of the effortlessness...

Associative classification is a rule-based approach to classify data relying on association rule mining by discovering associations between a set of features and a class label. Support and confidence are the de-facto “interestingness measures” used for discovering relevant association rules. The...

For zero-sum games, we have efficient solution techniques. Unfortunately, there are interesting games that are too large to solve. Here, a popular approach is to solve an abstract game that models the original game. We assume that more accurate the abstract games result in stronger strategies....

The problem of stress assignment is to identify which syllables are phonetically more prominent than the others in a word. It is not only of theoretical interests to linguists but also very important to Text-to-Speech systems in terms of both accuracy and naturalness of pronunciation. Besides...

Most story-based games today have manually-scripted non-player characters (NPCs) and the scripts are usually simple and repetitive since it is time-consuming for game developers to script each character individually. ScriptEase, a publicly-available author-oriented developer tool, attempts to...

Given a set of images from the same viewpoint, in which occlusions are present, background estimation is to output an image with stationary objects in the scene only. Background estimation is an important step in many computer vision problems such as object detection and recognition. With the...

This work focuses on the evaluation of a bagging EB method in terms of its ability to select a subset of QTL-related markers for accurate EBV prediction. Experiments were performed on several simulated and real datasets consisting of SNP genotypes and phenotypes. The simulated datasets modeled...

IP address lookup is an important processing function of Internet routers. The challenge lies in finding the longest prefix that matches the packet’s destination address. One of the issues concerning IP address lookups is the average lookup time. In previous works, caching was shown to be an...
