Multiple Object Tracking with Occlusion Handling
(University of Waterloo, 2010-02-17)Object tracking is an important problem with wide ranging applications. The purpose is to detect object contours and track their motion in a video. Issues of concern are to be able to map objects correctly between two ... -
Multiple Programs, One Offender: Investigating the Interaction Effects of Custodial Treatment Programs on Male Offenders
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-14)Many offenders participate in multiple treatment programs while incarcerated. Despite this, few studies have investigated the possibility of interactions between programs, and instead the correctional discourse has focused ... -
Multiple Substituent Effects on the Rate Constants for N(2)-N(3) Restricted Rotation of cis-1,3-Diphenyltriazenes
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Triazenes represent an interesting class of organic photochromic materials based on cis-trans isomerization around a nitrogen-containing double bond, and of potential use in optical memory devices. One structural property ... -
Multiple testing using the posterior probability of half-space: application to gene expression data.
(University of Waterloo, 2005)We consider the problem of testing the equality of two sample means, when the number of tests performed is large. Applying this problem to the context of gene expression data, our goal is to detect a set of genes ... -
Multiple Tools for Automated Nanofiber Characterization by Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-10)Nanofibers have been widely used in many engineering applications, including air filtration, energy storage, and biomedical engineering. Their performances largely depend on the morphology of nanofibers. The key morphological ... -
Multiple-Model Robust Adaptive Vehicle Motion Control
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-28)An improvement in active safety control systems has become necessary to assist drivers in unfavorable driving conditions. In these conditions, the dynamic of the vehicle shows rather different respond to driver command. ... -
A Multiple-objective ILP based Global Routing Approach for VLSI ASIC Design
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-25)A VLSI chip can today contain hundreds of millions transistors and is expected to contain more than 1 billion transistors in the next decade. In order to handle this rapid growth in integration technology, the design ... -
Multiplicities of Linear Recurrence Sequences
(University of Waterloo, 2006)In this report we give an overview of some of the major results concerning the multiplicities of linear recurrence sequences. We first investigate binary recurrence sequences where we exhibit a result due to Beukers and ... -
Multiply Robust Empirical Likelihood Inference for Missing Data and Causal Inference Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-06)Missing data are ubiquitous in many social and medical studies. A naive complete-case (CC) analysis by simply ignoring the missing data commonly leads to invalid inferential results. This thesis aims to develop statistical ... -
A Multiprocessor Platform Based on FPGA Technology Targeted for a Driver Vigilance Monitoring Device
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Medical devices processing images or audio or executing complex AI algorithms are able to run more efficiently and meet real time requirements if the parallelism in those algorithms is exploited. In this research a methodology ... -
Multipurpose Image Quality Assessment for Both Human and Computer Vision Systems via Convolutional Neural Network
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-07)Computer vision algorithms have been widely used for many applications, including traffic monitoring, autonomous driving, robot path planning and navigation, object detection and medical image analysis, etc. Images and ... -
Multireference Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster Study of Atomic Excitation Apectra
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-21)Variants of the family of the recently developed Multireference Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster (MR-EOM-CC) approaches are applied to the atomic excitation spectra of the first-row transition metals, for which experimental ... -
Multiscale GARCH Modeling and Inference
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-11)The motivation behind this thesis is the shortage of formal statistical inference methods in the literature for testing whether a time series model is consistent with a sample at multiple sampling frequencies simultaneously. ... -
Multiscale Methods in Image Modelling and Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The field of modelling and processing of 'images' has fairly recently become important, even crucial, to areas of science, medicine, and engineering. The inevitable explosion of imaging modalities and approaches ... -
Multiscale modeling in mathematical programming: Application of Clustering
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-18)Integration across decision levels of a supply chain is a key point in improving returns on investment. For example, planning and scheduling are usually carried out separately although they are interdependent of each other. ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Amphibian Neurulation
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-23)This thesis presents a whole-embryo finite element model of neurulation -- the first of its kind. An advanced, multiscale finite element approach is used to capture the mechanical interactions that occur across cellular, ... -
Multiscale modelling of snow depth over an agricultural field in a small catchement in southern ontario, canada.
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)Snow is a common overlying surface during winter-time and the redistribution of snow by wind is a very important concept for any hydrological research project located within the cryosphere. Wind redistributes snow by eroding ... -
Multiscale Modelling of Structural Transformation in Metal Nanocatalysts for CO2 Electroreduction
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-12)The precise control of nanostructure and surface atomic arrangement can be used to tune the electrocatalytic properties of materials and improve their performance. Unfortunately, the long-term structural stability of ... -
