Abstract:

This thesis presents Ray Collection BVH, an improvement over a current day Ray Tracing acceleration structure to both build and perform the steps necessary to efficiently render dynamic scenes. Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) is a commonly used acceleration structure, which aides in rendering complex scenes in 3D space using Ray Tracing by breaking the scene of triangles into a simple hierarchical structure. The algorithm this thesis explores was developed in an attempt at accelerating the process of both constructing this structure, and also using it to render these complex scenes more effici

Abstract:

Many planning problems involve choosing a set of optimal decisions for a system in the face of uncertainty of elements that may play a central role in the way the system is analyzed and operated. During the past decade, there has been a renewed interest in the modelling, analysis, and solution of such problems due to a remarkable development of both new theoretical results and novel computational techniques in stochastic optimization. A prominent approach is to develop upper and lower bounding approximations to the problem along with procedures to sharpen bounds until an acceptable tolerance i

Abstract:

The problem of computing closed bounding contours from a visual image is addressed. The approach is motivated by the fact that many important image structures are heterogeneous and therefore cannot be segmented by traditional region-based methods based on homogeneity or smoothness constraints. Both psychophysical and computational aspects of the problem are studied.<br>Psychophysical evidence is presented which shows that properties of bounding contour such as closure act as binding features for the segmentation of 2-D shapes, whereas texture (a region property) does not.

Abstract:

In this paper I investigate properties of square complex matrices of the form Ak, where A is also a complex matrix, and k is a nonnegative integer. I look at several ways of representing Ak. In particular, I present an identity expressing the kth power of the Schur form T of A in terms of the elements of T, which can be used together with the Schur decomposition to provide an expression of Ak. I also explain bounds on the norm of Ak, including some based on the element-based expression of Tk. Finally, I provide a detailed exposition of the most current form of the Kreiss Matrix Theorem.

Full text

Abstract:

In this thesis, I explore a reinforcement learning technique for improving bounding box localizations of objects in images. The model takes as input a bounding box already known to overlap an object and aims to improve the fit of the box through a series of transformations that shift the location of the box by translation, or change its size or aspect ratio. Over the course of these actions, the model adapts to new information extracted from the image. This active localization approach contrasts with existing bounding-box regression methods, which extract information from the image only once.

<p> For the last several years, convolutional neural network (CNN) based ob- ject detection systems have used a regression technique to predict improved object bounding boxes based on an initial proposal using low-level image features extracted from the CNN.

This thesis surveys an array of techniques and parameter settings in order to further optimize bounding-box regression and provide guidance for its implementation.

Abstract:

Object detection is particularly important in robotic applications that require interaction with the environment. Although 2D object detection methods obtain accurate results, these are not enough to provide a complete description of the 3D scenario. Therefore, many models have recently showed promising progress in this challenging field. In this work, the goal is to predict 3D bounding boxes from single images without using temporal data or any explicit depth estimation. We propose an approach for 3D monocular object detection based on Deep3DBox. We replace the geometric constraints taken int

Abstract:

The Platform for Ambulating Wheels (PAW) is a hybrid quadruped wheeled-legged robot that can bound, gallop, roll and brake at high speeds, and perform inclined turning. In previous work, the PAW’s controller used fixed touchdown and liftoff angles to achieve a stable bounding gait, and these angles were predetermined through an extensive trial and error process. In this work, an intelligent velocity controller is developed to allow the robot to autonomously find the touchdown and liftoff angles to bound at a desired velocity. This enables the robot to track desired velocities between 0.9 and

A realistic modeling of clay response under irregular cyclic loading requires an appropriate description of the stress{strain relationship.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2000.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. [125]-[126]).<br>The technical evolution of head mounted displays (HMDs) and micromechanical inertial sensor arrays (MMISAs) have, until recently, occurred independently. This thesis details the development and simulation results of an inertial helmet-mounted head tracker for a T- 38 jet aircraft flight environment. Primary focuses are the state error estimation filter and the bounding algorithms used to estimate the head position and orientation during
