Saxena, Divya; 0000-0003-1420-6424 (2022-05-18)In recent times, people have increasingly self-assessed their health using different devices on their bodies that monitor physiological attributes such as their oxygen level and blood pressure (BP) to monitor their health. ... -
ACTIVITY RECOGNITION TO MIMIC HUMAN PERCEPTION
Gupta, Alankrit (2020-09-03)The recognition of activities from video is a capability that is important for a wide range of applications, ranging from basic scene understanding to the successful prediction of behavior in autonomous vehicle applications. ... -
Adapting Harmonic Function Path Planning: To Reflect User Motion Preferences
D'Silva, Giles John (Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)Every human in the real world has a unique motion preference while moving to achieve a given task. These preferences could be expressed by moving in a straight line, following the wall along a corridor, avoiding sharp ... -
ADAPTIVE HUMAN-ROBOT MOTION TRANSFER FOR COMPLETE BODY IMITATION
Villa, Francisco; 0000-0003-2309-847X (2022-01-06)Programming robot systems to perform certain tasks is a big challenge especially if such programming is to be performed by persons who are not experts in robotics. For example, when programming a robot to serve as an ... -
Analyzing Differences In Color Variation Sensitivity Between Experts And Novices To Find A Differentiating Process In Pigmented Skin Lesion Diagnosis
Chai, Yu-Chin (Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)Fatal skin lesions such as melanomas appear as having high color variation to experts but often as having low variation to novices. This thesis investigated if it is possible to find a function representing an expert's ... -
An Assistive Navigation Paradigm For Semi-autonomous Wheelchairs Using Force-feedback And Goal Prediction
Staton, John H.C. (Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-08-08)As computer technology advances and facilitates an increased amount of autonomous sensing and control, the interface between the human and autonomous computer systems becomes increasingly important. This applies in particular ... -
Autonomous Abstraction Of Policies Based On Policy Homomorphism
Rajendran, Srividhya (Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)A life long learning agent performing in a complex and dynamic environment needs the ability to learn increasingly complex tasks over time. These agents over their lifetime have to learn new tasks, adapt the policies of ... -
Biomedical Parameter Measurements Using Video Processing
Ziaee Nasrabadi, NegarFor quite some time, patients’ cardiovascular parameters have been measured by sensors connected to their body. One way of measuring these parameters is pulse oximetry by using an optical technique. It uses a photodetector ... -
BUILDING 3D SHAPE PRIMITIVE BASED OBJECT MODELS FROM RANGE IMAGES
Gopikrishna, Vamsikrishna; 0000-0002-7079-0146 (2016-09-16)Most pattern recognition approaches to object identification work in the image domain. However this is ignoring potential information that can be provided by depth information. Using range images, ... -
Building Bayesian Network Based Expert Systems From Rules
Thirumuruganathan, Saravanan (Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-11-01)Combining expert knowledge and user explanation with automated reasoning in domains with uncertain information poses significant challenges in terms of representation and reasoning mechanisms. In particular, reasoning ... -
CLASSIFICATION OF CLINICAL NARRATIVES USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK
Lonari, Nikit Rajiv; 0000-0003-2747-4874 (2018-12-10)Patient safety is a key aspect for good consumer care. When an individual is hospitalized or receives medication the family wants the patient safety to be above all factors. For instance, a drug can do both either cure the ... -
