Computing Velocity of Multiple Objects in Sequences of Images With an Application In Water-Based Bitumen Extraction Process
DownloadSpring 2017
Image-based analysis of bitumen extraction process can provide the oil companies with useful information that can be used to assess their performance in retrieving bitumen from the oil sands. In this analysis, several slurry images are taken during the extraction process, and then image...

Extending Differentiable Programming to include Non-differentiable Modules using Differentiable Bypass for Combining Convolutional Neural Networks and Dynamic Programming into an End-to-end Trainable Framework
DownloadSpring 2019
Differentiable Programming is the paradigm where different functions or modules are combined into a unified pipeline with the purpose of applying end-to-end learning or optimization. A natural impediment is the non-differentiability characteristic of many modules. This thesis proposes a new way...

Image Registration with Homography: A Refresher with Differentiable Mutual Information, Ordinary Differential Equation and Complex Matrix Exponential
DownloadFall 2020
This work presents a novel method of tackling the task of image registration. Our algorithm uses a differentiable form of Mutual Information implemented via a neural network called MINE. An important property of neural networks is them being differentiable, which allows them to be used as a loss...

Tiny Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images: End-to-End Super-Resolution and Object Detection with Deep Learning
DownloadFall 2020
In this thesis, we study the problem of detecting small objects on low-resolution (LR) satellite imagery. Small-object detection is a challenging problem, especially from LR images. To tackle the challenge, we propose a method to generate super-resolution images from low-resolution images and...
