This thesis describes a first hands-on experience working with a Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) at the Institute of Geomatics in Castelldefels (Barcelona, Spain), used to exploit radar interferometry usually employed on space borne platforms. We describe the key concepts of a GB-SAR as well as the data processing procedure to obtain deformation measurements. A large part of the thesis work have been devoted to development of GB-SAR processing tools such as coherence and interferogram generation, automating the co-registration process, geocoding of GB-SAR data and the adaption of existing satellite SAR tools to GB-SAR data. Finally a series of field campaigns have been conducted to test the instrument in different environments to collect data necessary to develop GB-SAR processing tools as well as to discover capabilities and limitations of the instrument. The key outcome of the field campaigns is that high coherence necessary to conduct interferometric measurements can be obtained with a long temporal baseline. Several factors that affect the result are discussed, such as the reflectivity of the observed scene, the image co-registration and the illuminating geometry.Det här examensarbetet bygger på erfarenheter av arbete med en mark-baserad syntetisk apertur radar (GB-SAR) vid Geomatiska Institutet i Castelldefels (Barcelona, Spanien). SAR tekniken tillåter radar interferometri som är en vanligt förekommande teknik både på satellit och flygburna platformar. Det här arbetet beskriver instrumentets tekniska egenskaper samt behandlingen av data for att uppmäta deformationer. En stor del av arbetet har ägnats åt utveckling av GB-SAR data applikationer som koherens och interferogram beräkning, automatisering av bild matchning med skript, geokodning av GB-SAR data samt anpassning av befintliga SAR program till GB-SAR data. Slutligen har mätningar gjorts i fält for att samla in data nödvändiga for GB-SAR applikations utvecklingen samt få erfarenhet av instrumentets egenskaper och begränsningar. Huvudresultatet av fältmätningarna är att hög koherens nödvändig för interferometriska mätningar går att uppnå med relativ lång tid mellan mätepokerna. Flera faktorer som påverkar resultatet diskuteras, som det observerade områdets reflektivitet, radar bild matchningen och den illuminerande geometrin.

The thesis presents an investigation of the potential of measuring plant condition from hyperspectral reflectance data. To do this, some linear methods for embedding the high dimensional hyperspectral data and to perform regression to a plant condition space have been compared. A preprocessing step that aims at normalized illumination intensity in the hyperspectral images has been conducted and some different methods for this purpose have also been compared.A large scale experiment has been conducted where tobacco plants have been grown and treated differently with respect to watering and nutrition. The treatment of the plants has served as ground truth for the plant condition. Four sets of plants have been grown one week apart and the plants have been measured at different ages up to the age of about five weeks. The thesis concludes that there is a relationship between plant treatment and their leaves' spectral reflectance, but the treatment has to be somewhat extreme for enabling a useful treatment approximation from the spectrum. CCA has been the proposed method for calculation of the hyperspectral basis that is used to embed the hyperspectral data to the plant condition (treatment) space. A preprocessing method that uses a weighted normalization of the spectrums for illumination intensity normalization is concluded to be the most powerful of the compared methods.

Thesis (MTech (Business Information Systems))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.The aim of this research project was to determine what the degree of usability is of a sample of online reservation systems of Cape Town hotels. The literature has indicated that the main aim of website usability is to make the engagement process with a website a more efficient and enjoyable experience. Researchers noted that well designed, high-quality websites, with grammatically accurate content, create a trustworthy online presence. User-friendly sites also attract far more traffic. Previous research has also shown that a loss of potential sales is possible due to users being unable to find what they want, if poor website design has been implemented. Loss of potential income through repeat visits is also a possibility, due to a negative user experience. The research instrument that was employed in this research is usability testing. It is a technique used to evaluate product development that incorporates user feedback in an attempt to create instruments and products that meet user needs, and to decrease costs. The research focused on Internet-based hotel reservation systems. Only the usability was measured. Both standard approaches were used in this research project, in a combined quantitative and qualitative research design. In conclusion, the purpose of this research was to determine the degree of usability of specified Cape Town hotel online reservation systems. The outcomes of this study indicated interesting patterns in that reservation systems met user requirements more often than expected. However, the figures of acceptability obtained were still below the generally accepted norms for usability. The amount of time spent to complete a booking also decreased, as users worked on more than one reservation system.

In a data streaming system, each component consumes one or several streams of data on the fly and produces one or several streams of data for other components. The entire Internet can be viewed as a giant data streaming system. Other examples include real-time exploratory data mining and high performance transaction processing. In this thesis we study several measurement and resource allocation optimization problems of data streaming systems.
Measuring quantities associated with one or several data streams is often challenging because the sheer volume of data makes it impractical to store the streams in memory or ship them across the network. A data streaming algorithm processes a long stream of data in one pass using a small working memory (called a sketch). Estimation queries can then be answered from one or more such sketches. An important task is to analyze the performance guarantee of such algorithms. In this thesis we describe a tail bound problem that often occurs and present a technique for solving it using majorization and convex ordering theories. We present two algorithms that utilize our technique. The first is to store a large array of counters in DRAM while achieving the update speed of SRAM. The second is to detect global icebergs across distributed data streams.
Resource allocation decisions are important for the performance of a data streaming system. The processing graph of a data streaming system forms a fork and join network. The underlying data processing tasks consists of a rich set of semantics that include synchronous and asynchronous data fork and data join. The different types of semantics and processing requirements introduce complex interdependence between various data streams within the network. We study the distributed resource allocation problem in such systems with the goal of achieving the maximum total utility of output streams. For networks with only synchronous fork and join semantics, we present several decentralized iterative algorithms using primal and dual based optimization techniques. For general networks with both synchronous and asynchronous fork and join semantics, we present a novel modeling framework to formulate the resource allocation problem, and present a shadow-queue based decentralized iterative algorithm to solve the resource allocation problem. We show that all the algorithms guarantee optimality and demonstrate through simulation that they can adapt quickly to dynamically changing environments.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThe accurate determination of test aircraft position and velocity is a very strong requirement in several certification and development flight test applications. This requirement often requires availability of test ranges properly instrumented with optical or radar tracking systems, precision time for data reduction and dependency on environmental and meteorological conditions. The capabilities of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, in terms of data accuracy, speed of data availability and reduction of test operating cost, moved Bombardier Flight Test Center to make an investment and integrate a system utilizing GPS for extensive use in flight and ground test activity. Through the use of differential GPS (DGPS) procedures, Bombardier Flight Test Center was able to implement a complete system which could provide real-time data results to a very acceptable output rate and accuracy. Furthermore, the system was capable of providing post-processed data results which greatly exceeded required output rate and accuracy. Regardless of the type of aircraft testing conducted, the real-time or post-processed data could be generated for the same test. After conducting various types of testing, Bombardier Flight Test Center has accepted the DGPS as an acceptable and proper flight and ground test measurement tool for its various aircraft test platforms.

The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the performance of the recently proposed MIMO technology in real indoor environments based on channel measurements centered at 5.8 GHz. First, a MIMO channel measurement system is implemented based on the virtual antenna array infrastructure. This measurement testbed can acquire the wideband channel matrices of MIMO systems with arbitrary array geometries. The measurement system structure and measurement procedure are described in detail in the first part. The second part is about MIMO channel modeling. Two novel number-of-sources detection algorithms, which are more robust and suitable for practical applications than traditional methods, are proposed. The MIMO path parameters, including delay, DOA, and DOD are estimated from measured data by several estimation schemes based on the ESPRIT algorithm. The accuracies of these estimation schemes are evaluated in terms of the estimation error between the capacities of the directly measured and the reconstructed channels. Moreover, based on ray tracing and measurement results, the spherical wave model is suggested to replace conventional plane wave model in order to prevent the capacity underestimation of short-range MIMO channels. An important observation is that short-range MIMO can achieve full capacity in free space channel. A threshold distance is derived to determine whether the spherical wave model is necessary. In the final part, measurements conducted in the Residential Laboratory are used to investigate the impact of element spacing, LOS, interference, spatial correlation between the interfering and data links, and stream control. A capacity enhancement scheme, which improves the performance by adapting the element locations, is implemented using our measurement system. Finally, the performances of beam selection and antenna selection in combination with MIMO technologies are compared in both narrowband and wideband channels.

Ventricular Late Potentials, while there is as yet no universally accepted definition, are generally considered to be abnormal low level activity in the late QH.S and ST regions of the ECG. They are believed to be indicative of reentrant loops in infarcted regions of the ventricular Myocardium, and can predispose a patient to
dangerous arrythmias. Since these late potentials are of low amplitude, ( < 40microvolts ) and occur on or near the comparatively large QRS complex, they are obscured in normal ECG recordings. They can, however, be revealed by special data processing techniques, for example signal averaging. In this project, a computer-based signal averaging system was developed to try to detect and quantify this late activity. The system has been used to gather raw ECG data from several patients who have suffered recent episodes of various cardiac dysfunctions.

Pedestrian movement is unconstrained. For this reason it is not amenable to mathematical modelling in the same way as road trac. Individual pedestrians are notoriously difficult to monitor at a microscopic level. This has led to a lack of primary data that can be used to develop reliable models. Although video surveillance is cheap to install and operate, video data is extremely expensive to process for this purpose. An alternative approach is to use passive infrared detectors that are able to track individuals unobtrusively. This thesis describesthe use of a low cost infrared sensor for use in tracking pedestrians. The sensor itself, manufactured by a British company, is designed to count people crossing an arbitrary datum line. However, with the development of additional software, the functionality of these sensors can be extended beyond their original design specication. This allows the trajectories of individual pedestrians to be tracked. Although the field of view of each sensor is relatively small (44 m), five were deployed in a busy indoor corridor, covering most of its length. In this research, the technical challenges involved in using the sensors in this way are addressed. Statistics derived from the data collected are then compared to other studies at this scale.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Vertical line arrays (VLAs) deployed below the critical depth in the deep ocean can exploit reliable acoustic path (RAP) propagation, which provides low transmission loss (TL) for targets at moderate ranges, and increased TL for distant interferers. However, sound from nearby surface interferers also undergoes RAP propagation, and without horizontal aperture, a VLA cannot separate these interferers from submerged targets. A recent publication by McCargar and Zurk (2013) addressed this issue, presenting a transform-based method for passive, depth-based separation of signals received on deep VLAs based on the depth-dependent modulation caused by the interference between the direct and surface-reflected acoustic arrivals. This thesis expands on that work by quantifying the transform-based depth estimation method performance in terms of the resolution and ambiguity in the depth estimate. Then, the depth discrimination performance is quantified in terms of the number of VLA elements.

Drought is the most costly hazard among all natural disasters. Despite the significant improvements in drought modeling over the last decade, accurate provisions of drought conditions in a timely manner is still one of the major research challenges. In order to improve the current drought monitoring and forecasting skills, this study presents a hybrid system with a combination of remotely sensed data assimilation based on particle filtering and a probabilistic drought forecasting model. Besides the proposed drought monitoring system through land data assimilation, another novel aspect of this dissertation is to seek the use of data assimilation to quantify land initial condition uncertainty rather than relying entirely on the hydrologic model or the land surface model to generate a single deterministic initial condition. Monthly to seasonal drought forecasting products are generated using the updated initial conditions. The computational complexity of the distributed data assimilation system required a modular parallel particle filtering framework which was developed and allowed for a large ensemble size in particle filtering implementation. The application of the proposed system is demonstrated with two case studies at the regional (Columbia River Basin) and the Conterminous United States. Results from both synthetic and real case studies suggest that the land data assimilation system significantly improves drought monitoring and forecasting skills. These results also show how sensitive the seasonal drought forecasting skill is to the initial conditions, which can lead to better facilitation of the state/federal drought preparation and response actions.

Changes in power system operating conditions cause dynamic changes in angle and frequency. These disturbances propagate throughout the system area with finite speed. This propagation takes the form of a traveling wave whose arrival time at a particular point in the system can be observed using a wide-area measurement system (WAMS). Observations of these waves both through simulation and measurement data have demonstrated several factors that influence the speed at which a disturbance propagates through a system. Results of this testing are presented which demonstrate dependence on generator inertia, damping and line impedance. Considering a power system as an area with and uneven distribution of these parameters it is observed that a disturbance will propagate throughout a system at different rates in differing directions. This knowledge has applications in locating the originating point of a system disturbance, understanding the overall dynamic response of a power system, and determining the dependencies between various parts of that system.
A simplified power system simulator is developed using the swing equation and system power flow equations. This simplified modeling technique captures the phenomenon of traveling electromechanical waves and demonstrates the same dependencies as data derived from measurements and commercial power system simulation packages. The ultimate goal of this research is develop a methodology to approximate a real system with this simplified wave propagation model. In this architecture each measurement point would represent a pseudo-bus in the model. This procedure effectively lumps areas of the system into one equivalent bus with appropriately sized generators and loads. With the architecture of this reduced network determined its parameters maybe estimated so as to provide a best fit to the measurement data. Doing this effectively derives a data-driven equivalent system model. With an appropriate equivalent model for a given system determined, incoming measurement data can be processed in real time to provide an indication of the system operating point. Additionally as the system state is read in through measurement data future measurements values along the same trajectory can be estimated. These estimates of future system values can provide information for advanced control and protection schemes.
Finally a procedure for the identification and extraction of inter-area oscillations is developed. The dominant oscillatory frequency is identified from an event region then fit across the surrounding dataset. For each segment of this data set values of amplitude, phase and damping are derived for each measurement vector. Doing this builds up a picture of how the oscillation evolves over time and responds to system conditions. These results are presented in a graphical format as a movie tracking the modal phasors over time. Examples derived from real world measurement data are presented.Ph. D.

Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the nature of digital image compression and the calculation of the quality of the compressed images. The work is focused on greyscale images in the domain of satellite images and aerial photographs. Two compression techniques are studied in detail namely the JPEG and fractal compression methods. Implementations of both these techniques are then applied to a set of test images. The rest of this thesis is dedicated to investigating the measurement of the loss of quality that was introduced by the compression. A general method for quality measurement (signal To Noise Ratio) is discussed as well as a technique that was presented in literature quite recently (Grey Block Distance). Hereafter, a new measure is presented. After this, a means of comparing the performance of these measures is presented. It was found that the new measure for image quality estimation performed marginally better than the SNR algorithm. Lastly, some possible improvements on this technique are mentioned and the validity of the method used for comparing the quality measures is discussed.

This paper describes the format of monitoring data files that are collected for external measuring sites and at laboratory experiments at the Institute for Building Climatology (IBK). The Monitoring Data Files are containers for storing time series or event driven data collected as input for transient heat and moisture transport simulations. Further applications are the documentation of real world behaviour, laboratory experiments or the collection of validation data sets for simulation results ( whole building / energy consumption / HAM ). The article also discusses the application interface towards measurement data verification tools as well as data storage solutions that can be used to archive measurement data files conveniently and efficiently.

The object of this thesis is the study of constrained measurement systems of signals having low-dimensional structure using analytic tools from Compressed Sensing (CS). Realistic measurement systems usually have architectural constraints that make them differ from their idealized, well-studied counterparts. Nonetheless, these measurement systems can exploit structure in the signals that they measure. Signals considered in this research have low-dimensional structure and can be broken down into two types: static or dynamic. Static signals are either sparse in a specified basis or lying on a low-dimensional manifold (called manifold-modeled signals). Dynamic signals, exemplified as states of a dynamical system, either lie on a low-dimensional manifold or have converged onto a low-dimensional attractor.
In CS, the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) of a measurement system ensures that distances between all signals of a certain sparsity are preserved.
This stable embedding ensures that sparse signals can be distinguished one from another by their measurements and therefore be robustly recovered. Moreover, signal-processing and data-inference algorithms can be performed directly on the measurements instead of requiring a prior signal recovery step. Taking inspiration from the RIP, this research analyzes conditions on realistic, constrained measurement systems (of the signals described above) such that they are stable embeddings of the signals that they measure.
Specifically, this thesis focuses on four different types of measurement systems. First, we study the concentration of measure and the RIP of random block diagonal matrices that represent measurement systems constrained to make local measurements. Second, we study the stable embedding of manifold-modeled signals by existing CS matrices. The third part of this thesis deals with measurement systems of dynamical systems that produce time series observations. While Takens' embedding result ensures that this time series output can be an embedding of the dynamical systems' states, our research establishes that a stronger stable embedding result is possible under certain conditions. The final part of this thesis is the application of CS ideas to the study of the short-term memory of neural networks. In particular, we show that the nodes of a recurrent neural network can be a stable embedding of sparse input sequences.

A data acquisition system (DAQ) was designed based on the use of a STM32 microcontroller. Its purpose is to provide a transparent and low-cost alternative to commercially available DAQs, providing educators a means to teach students about the process through which data are collected as well as the uses of collected data. The DAQ was designed to collect data from rotating machinery spinning at a speed up to 10,000 RPM and send this data to a computer through a USB 2.0 full-speed connection. Multitasking code was written for the DAQ to allow for data to be simultaneously collected and transferred over USB. Additionally, a console application was created to control the DAQ and read data, and MATLAB code written to analyze the data. The DAQ was compared against a custom assembled National Instruments CompactDAQ system. Using a Bentley-Nevada RK 4 Rotor Kit, data was simultaneously collected using both DAQs. Analysis of this data shows the capabilities and limitations of the low cost DAQ compared to the custom CompactDAQ.

Speckle noise appears when coherent illumination is employed, as for example Laser, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Sonar, Magnetic Resonance, X-ray and Ultrasound imagery. Backscattered echoes from the randomly distributed scatterers in the microscopic structure of the medium are the origin of speckle phenomenon, which characterizes coherent imaging with a granular appearance. It can be shown that speckle noise is of multiplicative nature, strongly correlated and more importantly, with non-Gaussian statistics. These characteristics differ greatly from the traditional assumption of white additive Gaussian noise, often taken in image segmentation, filtering, and in general, image processing; which leads to reduction of the methods effectiveness for final image information extraction; therefore, this kind of noise severely impairs human and machine ability to image interpretation.
Statistical modeling is of particular relevance when dealing with speckled data in order to obtain efficient image processing algorithms; but, additionally, clinical ultrasound imaging systems employ nonlinear signal processing to reduce the dynamic range of the input echo signal to match the smaller dynamic range of the display device and to emphasize objects with weak backscatter. This reduction in dynamic range is normally achieved through a logarithmic amplifier i.e. logarithmic compression, which selectively compresses large input signals. This kind of nonlinear compression totally changes the statistics of the input envelope signal; and, a closed form expression for the density function of the logarithmic transformed data is usually hard to derive.
This thesis is concerned with the statistical distributions of the Log-compressed amplitude signal in coherent imagery, and its main objective is to develop a general statistical model for log-compressed ultrasound B-scan images. The developed model is adapted, making the pertinent physical analogies, from the multiplicative model in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) context. It is shown that the proposed model can successfully describe log-compressed data generated from different models proposed in the specialized ultrasound image processing literature. Also, the model is successfully applied to model in-vivo echo-cardiographic (ultrasound) B-scan images. Necessary theorems are established to account for a rigorous mathematical proof of the validity and generality of the model. Additionally, a physical interpretation of the parameters is given, and the connections between the generalized central limit theorems, the multiplicative model and the compound representations approaches for the different models proposed up-to-date, are established. It is shown that the log-amplifier parameters are included as model parameters and all the model parameters are estimated using moments and maximum likelihood methods. Finally, three applications are developed: speckle noise identification and filtering; segmentation of in vivo echo-cardiographic (ultrasound) B-scan images and a novel approach for heart ejection fraction evaluationEl ruido Speckle aparece cuando se utilizan sistemas de iluminación coherente, como por ejemplo Láser, Radar de Apertura Sintética (SAR), Sonar, Resonancia Magnética, rayos X y ultrasonidos. Los ecos dispersados por los centros dispersores distribuidos al azar en la estructura microscópica del medio son el origen de este fenómeno, que caracteriza las imágenes coherentes con un aspecto granular. Se puede demostrar que el ruido Speckle es de carácter multiplicativo, fuertemente correlacionados y lo más importante, con estadística no Gaussiana. Estas características son muy diferentes de la suposición tradicional de ruido aditivo gaussiano blanco, a menudo asumida en la segmentación de imágenes, filtrado, y en general, en el procesamiento de imágenes; lo cual se traduce en la reducción de la eficacia de los métodos para la extracción de información de la imagen final. La modelización estadística es de particular relevancia cuando se trata con datos Speckle, a fin de obtener algoritmos de procesamiento de imágenes eficientes. Además, el procesamiento no lineal de señales empleado en sistemas clínicos de imágenes por ultrasonido para reducir el rango dinámico de la señal de eco de entrada de manera que coincida con el rango dinámico más pequeño del dispositivo de visualización y resaltar así los objetos con dispersión más débil, modifica radicalmente la estadística de los datos. Esta reducción en el rango dinámico se logra normalmente a través de un amplificador logarítmico es decir, la compresión logarítmica, que comprime selectivamente las señales de entrada y una forma analítica para la expresión de la función de densidad de los datos transformados logarítmicamente es por lo general difícil de derivar. Esta tesis se centra en las distribuciones estadísticas de la amplitud de la señal comprimida logarítmicamente en las imágenes coherentes, y su principal objetivo es el desarrollo de un modelo estadístico general para las imágenes por ultrasonido comprimidas logarítmicamente en modo-B. El modelo desarrollado se adaptó, realizando las analogías físicas relevantes, del modelo multiplicativo en radares de apertura sintética (SAR). El Modelo propuesto puede describir correctamente los datos comprimidos logarítmicamente a partir datos generados con los diferentes modelos propuestos en la literatura especializada en procesamiento de imágenes por ultrasonido. Además, el modelo se aplica con éxito para modelar ecocardiografías en vivo. Se enuncian y demuestran los teoremas necesarios para dar cuenta de una demostración matemática rigurosa de la validez y generalidad del modelo. Además, se da una interpretación física de los parámetros y se establecen las conexiones entre el teorema central del límite generalizado, el modelo multiplicativo y la composición de distribuciones para los diferentes modelos propuestos hasta a la fecha. Se demuestra además que los parámetros del amplificador logarítmico se incluyen dentro de los parámetros del modelo y se estiman usando los métodos estándar de momentos y máxima verosimilitud. Por último, tres aplicaciones se desarrollan: filtrado de ruido Speckle, segmentación de ecocardiografías y un nuevo enfoque para la evaluación de la fracción de eyección cardiaca.

The Markovianity within a wind turbine array boundary layer is explored for data taken in a wind tunnel containing a model wind turbine array. A stochastic analysis of the data is carried out using Markov chain theory. The data were obtained via hot-wire anemometry thus providing point velocity statistics. The theory of Markovian processes is applied to obtain a statistical description of longitudinal velocity increments inside the turbine wake using conditional probability density functions. It is found that two and three point conditional probability density functions are similar for scale differences larger than the Taylor micro-scale. This result is quantified by use of the Wilcoxon rank-sum test which verifies that this relationship holds independent of initial scale selection outside of the near-wake region behind a wind turbine. Furthermore, at the locations which demonstrate Markovian properties there is a well defined inertial sub-range which follows Kolmogorv's -5/3 scaling behavior. Results indicate an existence of Markovian properties at scales on the order of the Taylor micro-scale, λ for most locations in the wake. The exception being directly behind the tips of the rotor and the hub where the complex turbulent interactions characteristic of the near-wake demonstrate influence upon the Markov process. The presence of a Markov process in the remaining locations leads to characterization of the multi-point statistics of the wind turbine wakes using the most recent states of the flow.

Environmental response to acidic deposition occurs through the vehicle of water movement in the ecosystem. As a part of the environmental studies for acidic deposition in the ecosystem, output-based hydrologic classification was done from basin hydrologies based on the distribution of the baseflow, snowmelt, and the direct runoff sources. Because of the differences in the flow paths and exposure duration, those components were assumed to represent distinct geochemical responses. As a first step, user-friendly software has been developed to calculate the baseflow based on the separation of annual hydrographs. It also generates the hydrograph for visual analysis using trial separation slope. After the software was completed, about 1200 stream flow gauging stations in Northeastern U.S. were accessed for flow separation and other hydrologic characteristics. At the final stage, based on the output from the streamflow analysis, cluster analysis was performed to classify the streamflow behaviors in terms of acidic inflow. The output from the cluster analysis shows more efficient regional boundaries of the subregions than the current regional boundaries used by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.E.P.A.) for the environmental management in terms of acidic deposition based on the regional baseflow properties.

Les futurs sondages à grande échelle, comme la mission Euclid, produiront un large set de données qui nécessitera la mise en place de chaînes de traitement complètement automatisées pour analyser les données, extraire l'information et s'assurer que l'ensemble des exigences est respecté. À partir des données collectées, le redshift est une quantité essentielle à mesurer. Des méthodes distinctes pour l'estimation de redshift existent dans la littérature, mais il n'y a pas à l'heure actuelle une définition d'un critère de qualité automatisé pour juger de la fiabilité d'une mesure de redshift spectroscopique. Dans ce travail, nous avons présenté les techniques usuelles de l'analyse spectrale, comme le filtrage et l'extraction du continu, qui peuvent être réalisées en amont de l'estimation du redshift. Puis, nous nous sommes en grande partie intéressés à la problématique de prise de décision quant à l'évaluation de la fiabilité d'une mesure de redshift en développant une nouvelle méthodologie qui exploite les algorithmes de Machine Learning (ML) et les caractéristiques de la fonction de densité en probabilité du redshift (zPDF) définie dans un cadre bayésien.Notre idée consiste à quantifier, via le ML et des descripteurs des zPDFs, la fiabilité d'une mesure de redshift au sein de partitions distinctes qui décrivent différents niveaux de confiance. Par ex. une estimation de redshift obtenue à partir d'une zPDF multimodale ne dépeint pas le même niveau de confiance que celle obtenue à partir d'une zPDF unimodale. Nous estimons que cette nouvelle méthodologie pourra être exploitée dans le cadre de futurs sondages spectroscopiques à grande échelle comme EuclidLarge-scale surveys, as Euclid, will produce a large set of data that will require the development of fully automated data-processing pipelines to analyze the data, extract crucial information and ensure that all requirements are met. From a survey, the redshift is an essential quantity to measure. Distinct methods to estimate redshifts exist in the literature but there is no fully-automated definition of a reliability criterion for redshift measurements. In this work, we first explored common techniques of spectral analysis, as filtering and continuum extraction, that could be used as preprocessing to improve the accuracy of spectral features measurements, then focused on developing a new methodology to automate the reliability assessment of spectroscopic redshift measurements by exploiting Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and features of the posterior redshift probability distribution function (PDF). Our idea consists in quantifying, through ML and zPDFs descriptors, the reliability of a redshift measurement into distinct partitions that describe different levels of confidence. For example, a multimodal zPDF refers to multiple (plausible) redshift solutions possibly with similar probabilities, while a strong unimodal zPDF with a low dispersion and a unique and prominent peak depicts of a more "reliable" redshift estimate. We assess that this new methodology could be very promising for next-generation large spectroscopic surveys on the ground and space such as Euclid and WFIRST

The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the occurrence of dolphins in Pacific waters adjacent to the Panama Canal in the context of biological, temporal and spatial factors. Acoustic data were collected at 101 sites at a range of distances and depths from the shipping region. Data were collected between March 2010 and April 2011 in a diurnal cycle over a total of 114 recording days. Received sound levels were split into 1/3 Octave bandwidths to study variation in sound pressure levels and then converted to spectrum density levels to show the sound components of the background noise in this region. Generalised Linear Models were used to relate dolphin whistle detections to temporal, spatial, environmental and acoustic variables. The major sources of background noise were biological noise from soniferous fish and snapping shrimp and anthropogenic noise from vessels characterised by mid to high frequencies produced by artisanal fishing boats. There was monthly and diurnal variation with some locations characterised by loud sounds in the mid to high frequencies at night. Whistle characteristics analysis revealed that the frequencies and range of the whistles were different to those previously reported under similar conditions. Whistles varied diurnally and in the presence of fish chorus and fishing boats. The study highlights a strong correlation between fish choruses and whistle detection. Temporal and spatial models showed that whistle detections varied monthly and in relation to fish noise and small vessel engine noise. Dolphins were distributed throughout most of the study area; however, whistle detections varied with distance from the coast. The results provide new knowledge about background noise composition in this region and provide the first information on the ecology of dolphin whistles in relation to this background noise, especially to fish chorus.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Poverty is a complex issue and has many causes which are wide-ranging with devastating effects. In order for these effects of poverty to be minimilised and contained, a poverty alleviation strategy has to be implemented in an effective and efficient manner. In order for a poverty alleviation strategy to be effective for the main stakeholders in the decision-making process the various components of poverty have to be fully comprehended. The extent of poverty needs to be determined by employing poverty measurement techniques which will enable the decision-maker to use a (GIS) to store the poverty data. This Geographical Information System (GIS) enables the decision-makers to capture, manage, store and analyse the poverty data. The GIS can be used to map poverty data and allow a visual display of the poverty data to indicate where the greatest needs are and to allow that the relevant stakeholders and policy makers focus scarce resources and efforts to these areas. Therefore poverty mapping can greatly assist government with the implementation process of the policy process specifically in the West Coast region, where a Poverty Alleviation Strategy is currently being implemented. This implementation plan of the West Coast Poverty Alleviation Strategy can be much more effective if used in conjunction with a GIS for poverty mapping. Therefore decision-makers in the West Coast District Municipality will be provided with an opportunity to utilise the poverty data in a more effective manner which will improve their decision-making process thorough the assistance of a decision-support tool such as the visual display of poverty in the West Coast region.

CAPESEste trabalho tem por objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma arquitetura de baixo custo para construção de unidades de medição fasorial sincronizada (PMU). O dispositivo prevê conexão com a baixa tensão da rede elétrica, de forma que, instalada neste ponto do sistema permita o monitoramento da rede de transmissão e distribuição. Os desenvolvimentos deste projeto contemplam uma arquitetura completa, com módulo de instrumentação para uso na baixa tens˜ao da rede, módulo GPS para fornecer o sinal de sincronismo e etiqueta de tempo das medidas, unidade de processamento com sistema de aquisição, estimação de fasores e formatação dos dados de acordo com a norma e, por fim, módulo de comunicação para transmissão dos dados. Para o desenvolvimento e avaliação do desempenho da arquitetura, desenvolveu-se um conjunto de aplicativos em ambiente LabVIEW com funcionalidades específicas que permitem analisar o comportamento das medidas e identificar as fontes de erro da PMU, além de aplicar todos os testes previstos pela norma IEEE C37.118.1. O primeiro aplicativo, útil para o desenvolvimento da instrumentação, consiste em um gerador de funções integrado com osciloscópio, que permite a geração e aquisição de sinais de forma sincronizada, além da manipulação das amostras. O segundo e principal deles, é a plataforma de testes capaz de gerar todos os ensaios previstos pela norma, permitindo também armazenar os dados ou fazer a análise das medidas em tempo real. Por fim, um terceiro aplicativo foi desenvolvido para avaliar os resultados dos testes e gerar curvas de ajuste para calibração da PMU. Os resultados contemplam todos os testes previstos pela norma e um teste adicional que avalia o impacto de ruído. Além disso, através de dois protótipos conectados à instalação elétrica de consumidores de um mesmo circuito de distribuição, obteve-se registros de monitoramento que permitiram a identificação das cargas no consumidor, análise de qualidade de energia, além da detecção de eventos a nível de distribuição e transmissão.
This work presents a low cost architecture for development of synchronized phasor measurement units (PMU). The device is intended to be connected in the low voltage grid, which allows the monitoring of transmission and distribution networks. Developments of this project include a complete PMU, with instrumentation module for use in low voltage network, GPS module to provide the sync signal and time stamp for the measures, processing unit with the acquisition system, phasor estimation and formatting data according to the standard and finally, communication module for data transmission. For the development and evaluation of the performance of this PMU, it was developed a set of applications in LabVIEW environment with specific features that let analyze the behavior of the measures and identify the sources of error of the PMU, as well as to apply all the tests proposed by the standard. The first application, useful for the development of instrumentation, consists of a function generator integrated with an oscilloscope, which allows the generation and acquisition of signals synchronously, in addition to the handling of samples. The second and main, is the test platform, with capabality of generating all tests provided by the synchronized phasor measurement standard IEEE C37.118.1, allowing store data or make the analysis of the measurements in real time. Finally, a third application was developed to evaluate the results of the tests and generate calibration curves to adjust the PMU. The results include all the tests proposed by synchrophasors standard and an additional test that evaluates the impact of noise. Moreover, through two prototypes connected to the electrical installation of consumers in same distribution circuit, it was obtained monitoring records that allowed the identification of loads in consumer and power quality analysis, beyond the event detection at the distribution and transmission levels.

Wall shear stress (WSS) has long been identified as a factor in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Autopsy studies have revealed a strong tendency for lesion development at arterial branch sites and along the inner walls of curvature areas that, in theory, should experience low WSS. Calculations of coronary artery WSS have typically been based upon average models of coronary artery geometry with average flow conditions and then compared to average lesion distributions. With all the averaging involved, a more detailed knowledge of the correlation between WSS and atherosclerotic lesion development might be obscured. Recent advancements in hemodynamic modeling now enable the calculation of WSS in individual subjects. An image-based approach for patient-specific calculation of in vivo WSS using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) would allow a more direct study of this correlation. New state-of-the-art technologies in multi-detector computed tomography (CT) and 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offer potential improvements for the measurement of coronary artery geometry and blood flow.
The overall objective of this research was to evaluate the quantitative accuracy of multi-detector CT and 3.0 Tesla MRI and incorporate those imaging modalities into a patient-specific CFD model of coronary artery WSS. Using a series of vessel motion phantoms, it has been shown that 64-detector CT can provide accurate measurements of coronary artery geometry for heart rates below 70 beats per minute. A flow phantom was used to validate the use of navigator-echo gated, phase contrast MRI at 3.0 Tesla to measure velocity of coronary blood flow. Patient-specific, time-resolved CFD models of coronary WSS were created for two subjects. Furthermore, it was determined that population-average velocity curves or steady state velocities can predict locations of high or low WSS with high degrees of accuracy compared to the use of patient-specific blood flow velocity measurements as CFD boundary conditions. This work is significant because it constitutes the first technique to non-invasively calculate in vivo coronary artery WSS using image-based, patient-specific modeling.

In recent years, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have emerged as an efficient way of enhancing traffic flow, safety and management. These goals are realized by combining various technologies and analyzing the acquired data from vehicles and roadways. Among all ITS technologies, computer vision solutions have the advantages of high flexibility, easy maintenance and high price-performance ratio that make them very popular for transportation surveillance systems. However, computer vision solutions are demanding and challenging due to computational complexity, reliability, efficiency and accuracy among other aspects. In this thesis, three transportation surveillance systems based on computer vision are presented. These systems are able to interpret the image data and extract the information about the presence, speed and class of vehicles, respectively. The image data in these proposed systems are acquired using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as a non-stationary source and roadside camera as a stationary source. The goal of these works is to enhance the general performance of accuracy and robustness of the systems with variant illumination and traffic conditions. This is a compilation thesis in systems engineering consisting of three parts. The red thread through each part is a transportation surveillance system. The first part presents a change detection system using aerial images of a cargo port. The extracted information shows how the space is utilized at various times aiming for further management and development of the port. The proposed solution can be used at different viewpoints and illumination levels e.g. at sunset. The method is able to transform the images taken from different viewpoints and match them together. Thereafter, it detects discrepancies between the images using a proposed adaptive local threshold. In the second part, a video-based vehicle's speed estimation system is presented. The measured speeds are essential information for law enforcement and they also provide an estimation of traffic flow at certain points on the road. The system employs several intrusion lines to extract the movement pattern of each vehicle (non-equidistant sampling) as an input feature to the proposed analytical model. In addition, other parameters such as camera sampling rate and distances between intrusion lines are also taken into account to address the uncertainty in the measurements and to obtain the probability density function of the vehicle's speed. In the third part, a vehicle classification system is provided to categorize vehicles into \private car", \light trailer", \lorry or bus" and \heavy trailer". This information can be used by authorities for surveillance and development of the roads. The proposed system consists of multiple fuzzy c-means clusterings using input features of length, width and speed of each vehicle. The system has been constructed by using prior knowledge of traffic regulations regarding each class of vehicle in order to enhance the classification performance.

L'estimation de l'activite avalancheuse naturelle d'une portion de massif repose actuellement sur l'observation visuelle. Pour s'affranchir des contraintes de visibilite qui lui sont liees, une solution est de detecter les ondes sismiques produites par les avalanches au cours de leur chute. Cependant, 90 pour cent des signaux enregistres ne sont pas des avalanches et doivent etre elimines. Nous proposons une approche pluridisciplinaire de ce probleme de reconnaissance. Dans le domaine temps, le module du signal est utilise comme un premier critere de reconnaissance. Dans le domaine temps-frequence, la methode hybride arcap fournit une representation temps-frequence du signal avec une bonne reduction d'information. Dans le domaine de polarisation, nous proposons d'utiliser le filtre de capon pour ameliorer le rapport signal a bruit des signaux avant d'estimer un critere de linearite. Cela permet d'estimer la repartition dans le plan temps-frequence des mouvements lineaires contenus dans le signal. Le filtre de capon est etudie en detail et compare a un filtre de fourier. Les resultats de l'analyse sont reduits a environ 25 descripteurs qui, combines a l'aide d'une base de regles, permettent l'identification des signaux. Les regles sont inspirees principalement par des considerations sur les phenomenes physiques generateurs d'ondes sismiques et sur les lois de propagation. Un test sur un ensemble de signaux identifies permet d'evaluer le taux de reussite de notre systeme a environ 90 pour cent. Un prototype autonome est propose ; il sera installe sur site pour l'hiver 96/97. Une comparaison entre l'information fournie par notre systeme et d'autres donnees relatives a l'activite avalancheuse confirme l'interet de notre systeme pour des applications concretes

O monitoramento de sinais vitais em pacientes tem o intuito de obter rapidamente dados relevantes para decisões médicas. No entanto, tal mensuração é pouco eficiente, difícil, quando não impossível, em determinados casos, como por exemplo em pacientes vítimas de queimaduras, em função da impossibilidade de colocar o eletrodo diretamente na pele, ou em recém-nascidos, devido à fragilidade da pele. Este estudo trata do desenvolvimento de um sistema para aquisição contínua de sinais fotopletismográficos para a telemetria da frequência cardíaca em tempo real, em uma plataforma de baixo custo, utilizando a biblioteca OpenCV e o método desenvolvido pelo MIT chamado de Magnificação de Vídeo Euleriana, que revela variações que são imperceptíveis a olho nu. Para desenvolver o sistema foi utilizada a plataforma de hardware Raspberry Pi Versão B com processador ARM11 de 700MHz e 512MB de memória RAM. Os dados da frequência cardíaca coletados dos experimentos foram comparados com os dados coletados por um oxímetro de dedo More Fitness modelo MF-425. Esse foi escolhido por utilizar o mesmo princípio "Fotopletismografia"para efetuar a medição. Após a coleta de dados foi estimado o intervalo de confiança para aferir a precisão do sistema, que correspondeu a 96,5% em relação ao oxímetro utilizado. Ficou evidente que o meio utilizado para medir a frequência cardíaca via método de magnificação de vídeo Euleriana em tempo real é uma tecnologia de baixo custo (aproximadamente R$300,00) quando comparado aos monitores multiparamétricos utilizados para o monitoramento de pacientes críticos, cujo custo varia entre R$ 8.000,00 e R$ 34.000,00. Sendo assim, também contribui com a redução de custos no tratamento ao doente que necessita de monitorização constante, possibilitando que, com a economia gerada pela aquisição e implantação desta tecnologia, viabilize um maior investimento em outras áreas dos hospitais.Monitoring vital signs in patients is used to obtain relevant data for medical decisions in a fast way. However, this measurement is both inefficient and difficult, if not impossible in certain cases, such as in burnt victims, due to the impossibility of placing the electrodes directly on the skin or in infants, because of the fragility of skin. This study aims to develop of a system for continuous acquisition of photopletismografics (PPG) signals for the telemetry of heart rate in real time in a low cost platform using the OpenCV library and the method developed by MIT called the Eulerian Video Magnification, amplifying variations that are imperceptible to the naked eye. To develop the system were used the hardware platform Raspberry Pi version B with ARM11 700MHz processor and 512MB RAM. The heart rate data collected from the experi- ments were compared with data collected by a finger oximeter model More Fitness MF-425 it was chosen, by using the same working principle "PPG"to effect the measurement. After data collection was estimated the confidence interval to measure system accuracy, which corresponded to 96,5% compared to the oximeter used. It became clear that the developed system used to measure heart rate via magnification method of Eulerian live video is a low-cost technology (approximately R$ 300.00) compared to the multiparameter monitors used for monitoring critically patients, ranging in cost from R$ 8,000.00 to R$ 34,000.00. So also, it contributes to cost reduction in the treatment to the patient in need of constant monitoring, enabling with the savings generated by the acquisition and deployment of this technology makes possible greater investment in other areas of hospitals.

[Truncated abstract] A number of controlled and natural seismic sources are utilised to model the Pwave velocity structure of the southwest of the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia. The Yilgarn Craton is one of the largest pieces of Archaean crust in the world and is known for its gold and nickel deposits in the east and intraplate seismicity in the west. The aim of the project is to link 2D and 3D models of variations in seismic velocity with the local seismicity and geology. A new set of seismic refraction data, acquired in 25 overlapping deployments between 2002 and 2005, has been processed, picked and analysed using forward modelling. The data comprise two perpendicular traverses of three-component recordings of various delay-fired blasts from local commercial quarries. The data were processed using a variety of techniques. Tests were carried out on a number of data enhancement and picking procedures in order to determine the best method for enhancement of delay-fired data. A new method for automatic phase recognition is presented, where the maximum of the derivative of the rectilinearity of a trace is taken as the first break. Complete shot gathers with first break picks for each seismic source are compiled from the overlapping deployments. ... The starting 3D model was based on the models produced by 2D forward modelling. 14 iterations were carried out and the best-fit 3D model was achieved at the 10th iteration. It is 35% better then the current model used to locate earthquakes in this region. The resultant velocity block model was used to iii construct a density block model. A relative gravity map of the southwest of Yilgarn Craton was made. The results of 2D forward modelling, 3D tomography and forward gravity modelling have been compared and it was found that the HVZ is present in all models. Such a zone has been previously seen on a single seismic refraction profile, but it is the first time, this zone has been mapped in 3D. The gravity high produced by the zone coincides with the gravity high observed in reality. There is strong evidence that suggests that the HVZ forms part of the Archaean terrane boundary within the Yilgarn Craton. The distribution of the local seismicity was then discussed in the framework of the new 3D velocity model. A hypothesis, that the primary control on the seismicity in the study area is rotation of the major horizontal stress orientation, is presented. It is also argued that the secondary control on seismicity in the SWSZ is accommodation of movements along major faults.

A avaliação de qualidade de vídeo possui um papel fundamental no processamento de vídeo e em aplicações de comunicação. Uma métrica de qualidade de vídeo ideal deve garantir a alta correlação entre a predição da distorção do vídeo e a percepção de qualidade do Sistema Visual Humano. Este trabalho propõe o uso de modelos de atenção visual com abordagem bottom up baseados em saliências para avaliação de qualidade de vídeo. Três métricas objetivas de avaliação são propostas. O primeiro método é uma métrica com referência completa baseada na estrutura de similaridade. O segundo modelo é uma métrica sem referência baseada em uma modelagem sigmoidal com solução de mínimos quadrados que usa o algoritmo de Levenberg-Marquardt e extração de características espaço-temporais. E, a terceira métrica é análoga à segunda, porém usa a característica Blockiness na detecção de distorções de blocagem no vídeo. A abordagem bottom-up é utilizada para obter os mapas de saliências que são extraídos através de um modelo multiescala de background baseado na detecção de movimentos. Os resultados experimentais apresentam um aumento da eficiência de predição de qualidade de vídeo nas métricas que utilizam o modelo de saliência em comparação com as respectivas métricas que não usam este modelo, com destaque para as métricas sem referência propostas que apresentaram resultados melhores do que métricas com referência para algumas categorias de vídeos.Video quality assessment plays a key role in the video processing and communications applications. An ideal video quality metric shall ensure high correlation between the video distortion prediction and the perception of the Human Visual System. This work proposes the use of visual attention models with bottom-up approach based on saliencies for video qualitty assessment. Three objective metrics are proposed. The first method is a full reference metric based on the structural similarity. The second is a no reference metric based on a sigmoidal model with least squares solution using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and extraction of spatial and temporal features. And, the third is analagous to the last one, but uses the characteristic Blockiness for detecting blocking distortions in the video. The bottom-up approach is used to obtain the salient maps, which are extracted using a multiscale background model based on motion detection. The experimental results show an increase of efficiency in the quality prediction of the proposed metrics using salient model in comparission to the same metrics not using these model, highlighting the no reference proposed metrics that had better results than metrics with reference to some categories of videos.

Esta dissertação trata do problema de processamento de Erros Grosseiros (EGs) com base na aplicação do chamado Índice de Não-Detecção de Erros, ou apenas UI (Undetectability Index), na análise dos resíduos do estimador de estado por mínimos quadrados ponderados. O índice UI foi desenvolvido recentemente e possibilita a classificação das medidas de acordo com as suas características de não refletirem grande parcela de seus erros nos resíduos daquele estimador. As medidas com maiores UIs são aquelas cujos erros são mais difíceis de serem detectados através de métodos que fazem uso da análise dos resíduos, pois grande parcela do erro dessas medidas não aparece no resíduo. Inicialmente demonstrou-se, nesta dissertação, que erros das estimativas das variáveis de estado em um sistema com EG não-detectável (em uma medida de alto índice UI) podem ser mais significativos que em medidas com EGs detectáveis (em medidas com índices UIs baixos). Justificando, dessa forma, a importância de estudos para tornar possível o processamento de EGs em medidas com alto índice UI. Realizou-se, então, nesta dissertação, diversas simulações computacionais buscando analisar a influência de diferentes ponderações de medidas no UI e também nos erros das estimativas das variáveis de estado. Encontrou-se, então, uma maneira que destacou-se como a mais adequada para ponderação das medidas. Por fim, ampliaram-se, nesta dissertação, as pesquisas referentes ao UI para um estimador de estado por mínimos quadrados ponderados híbrido.This dissertation deals with the problem of Gross Errors processing based on the use of the so-called Undetectability Index, or just UI. This index was developed recently and it is capable to classify the measurements according to their characteristics of not reflecting their errors into the residuals of the weighted least squares state estimation process. Gross errors in measurements with higher UIs are very difficult to be detected by methods based on the residual analysis, as the errors in those measurements are masked, i.e., they are not reflected in the residuals. Initially, this dissertation demonstrates that a non-detectable gross error (error in a measurement with high UI) may affect more the accuracy of the estimated state variables than a detectable gross error (error in a measurement with low UI). Therefore, justifying the importance of studies that make possible gross errors processing in measurements with high UI. In this dissertation, several computational simulations are carried out to analyze the influence of different weights of measurements in the UI index and also in the accuracy of the estimated state variables. It is chosen a way that stood out as the most appropriate for weighing the measurements. Finally, in this dissertation, the studies referring to the UI is extended for a hybrid weighted least squares state estimator.

The dissertation thesis deals with the investigation of the coexistence of GSM–EDGE and UMTS systems with focus on the physical layer of the systems. The aim is to provide a set of recommendations for practical cooperation while the systems operate in both the separated and the common radio bands. A detailed description of signal processing of both the systems on the physical layer is presented. On the basis of this description, models of both systems were created and implemented in the MATLAB environment. The simulations are focused on the physical layer quality parameters, especially the bit error ratio evaluation for various ratios of useful signal power to noise power during the transmission over the radio channel. Simulation is also used to examine the quality of received useful signal while it is interfered by signals from the same and adjacent channels. The purpose is to determine the isolation between these adjacent channels, when the bit error ratio of the useful signal does not exceed a certain reference value. The simulation results are subsequently subjected to comparison with the results of the experimental measurements in laboratory conditions. Before the measurements are carried out, a study of possible interference types is performed. Consequently, the crucial parameters of the measuring equipment used are verified. From the results of simulations and measurements, the proposal of a minimum and recommended carrier separation between both the systems is presented in order to efficiently utilize the assigned frequency spectrum. Furthermore, for the cooperation in both the separated and the common radio bands, the necessary precautions are given for reaching the required isolation and thereby inter-system interference minimization.
