Localization In Noisy Environment Using Extended Kalman Filter
(Electrical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Localization is an important aspect of Wireless Sensor Networks. Information regarding the position of the sensor nodes is not always known. Without the position information of the sensors, the data reported by the sensors ...
An Emission Model For Lunar Regolith Surfaces Based On Matrix Doubling Method
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
An emission model based on Matrix Doubling Method is implemented for the calculation of emission signatures from the lunar regolith surfaces. The matrix doubling method is used to solve the radiative transfer equations ...
Collision Response For Virtual Laparoscopic Surgery
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
During laparoscopic surgery the surgeon operates inside the abdomen guided by the 2D imagery of the operating area. This image is obtained via a camera inserted through a small incision. Laparoscopic surgery, in contrast ...
Signal Processing In Radar And Non-radar Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
This dissertation studies six topics within the area of radar andnon-radar sensor networks from a signal processing perspective:radar sensor networks (RSN) waveform design and performance analysis(chapter 2), blind speed ...
Generation Planning And Market Operation Strategies In The Southwest Power Pool Energy Imbalance Service Market
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The transition of the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) from its traditional operation under tariff towards the new market environment has significant impact on the utilities in the SPP footprint, both in terms of planning and ...
Transcoding From H264 Bitstream To MPEG-2 Bitstream
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
H.264/AVC was recently developed by the JVT (Joint Video Team). This new standard fulfills significant coding efficiency, simple syntax specifications and seamless integration of video coding into all current protocols and ...
ARRIBOT- An Enabler For Studying Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The objective of this thesis is to structure a mobile wireless sensor network using low cost, custom made robotic platforms. Over the years, several projects have proved that the performance of a static wireless sensor ...
Region Of Interest (ROI) Based Rate Control For H.263 Compatible Video Conferecing
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation presents a region of interest (ROI) based H.263 [10] [13] compatible video codec, which integrates the idea of object-based coding from MPEG-4 Visual [9] [15] into the traditional block-based H.263 codec. ...
Design And Functionality Analysis Of Operational Amplifiers With Rail-to-rail Input And Output Capability
(Electrical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The operational amplifier (op amp) is a fundamental building block in analog integrated circuit design. For low power-supply voltages, the common-mode input voltage and the output voltage of op amps are always required to ...
Self-organization And Resource Allocation In Wireless Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
In this dissertation, we utilize clustering to organize wireless sensors into an energy-efficient hierarchy. We propose a Medium-Contention Based ClusterHeadship Auction (MCCHA) scheme, through which sensors self-organize ...
