Improving nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithms for hyperspectral data
(2010)
Dimensionality reduction is a key step in hyperspectral image processing due to the large amount of data. Linear and nonlinear approaches have been proposed. The most important parameters on the majority of nonlinear ...
Characterization of asymmetric annular-slot antennas and design of a tunable asymmetric annular-slot antenna with ferroelectric material
(2006)
A statistical characterization of an annular slot ring antenna using DOE is presented. The models give an understanding on the effects of the antenna design parameters on the responses of the antenna. These models are ...
Effect of distributed energy storage systems in the voltage stability of an island power system
(2006)
In this work the author studies the effect of energy storage systems (ESS) used as distributed reactive compensation for voltage stability of an island power system. The dynamic voltage behavior using four load models was ...
A block-compressive sensing algorithm for hyperspectral data processing and acquisition: A comparative classification performance study
(2016)
Current deployments of remote sensing hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology usually require expensive setup costs, specialized aircraft and associated infrastructure, in addition to producing amounts of data that have a ...
Evaluation of flywheel and battery systems for power smoothing of a photovoltaic plant into power grid
(2018-05)
The integration of renewable energy generation presents a great challenge in the energy management of an electrical system. The rapid variability in the production of energy from renewable resources, specifically solar, ...
Fast piecewise linear predictors for lossless compression of hyperspectral imagery
(2003)
Image compression of hyperspectral is necessary because of the large storage requirements. The main objective of this research is to develop and implement fast and good predictors, for use in lossless compression of ...
Design and simulations of an integrated 9.41 ghz 24 channels phased array synchronization by phase locked loop for dual polarized doppler solid state radar for casa student test bed
(2012)
The design and simulations of an integrated 9.41 GHz- 24 channel passed array synchronization by phase looked loop for dual polarized Doppler solid-state radar for the CASA student Test Bed is presented in this thesis. The ...
Guidance and monitoring of liquid-filled tubes using time domain acoustic reflectometry
(2005)
Time domain acoustic reflectometry is proposed in this research as a method to detect atherosclerosis, estimating the location and extension of arterial obstructions by determining what is ahead of the catheter tip (“forward ...
Off the grid x-band radar node development for weather applications
(2010)
The Student Led Test Bed (STB) is part of the NSF Engineering Research Center CASA and is currently focused on developing low infrastructure radar networks to fill lower atmosphere gaps not covered by current technology. ...
Methods for scalable levels of parallelism in radix-2 ffts for fpga synthesis
(2014)
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is the main block in many communication systems and signal processing applications, as it allows the fast computation of the discrete Fouier transform (DFT). The DFT, in turn, is used to ...
