ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Outliers may be defined as observations that are sufficiently aberrant to arouse the suspicion of the analyst as to their origin. They could be the result of human error, in which case they should be ...

This thesis addresses the problem of bulding a video-based traffic monitoring system. We employ clustering, trackiing and three-dimensional reconstruction of moving objects over a long image sequence. We present an ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis provides an introduction to the statistical modeling technique known as graphical models. Since graph theory and probability theory are the two legs of graphical models, these two topics are ...

In this work we present a novel method to do measurement correlation between target observations made by two ormore radar systems. Some of the most common radar sensors available are those measuring only range (distance ...

A popular method for interpolating multidimensional scattered data is using radial basis functions. In this thesis we present the basic theory of radial basis function interpolation and also regard the solvability and ...

Image compression using weighted finite automata (WFA) is studied and implemented in Matlab. Other more prominent image compression techniques, namely JPEG, vector quantization, EZW wavelet image compression and fractal ...

The replacement of the standard discrete cosine transform (DCT) of JPEG with the windowed modifed DCT (MDCT) is investigated to determine whether improvements in numerical quality can be achieved. To this end, we employ ...

The NLS is a universal equation of the class of nonlinear integrable systems. The aim of this thesis is to study the NLS numerically. More speci cally, an algorithm is developed to calculate its nonlinear spectrum. The ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis we consider the problem of building a dense and consistent map of a mobile robot’s environment that is updated as the robot moves. Such maps are vital for safe and collision-free ...

In this paper, tracking tools are developed based on object features to robustly track the object using particle filtering. Automatic on-line initialisation techniques use motion detection and dynamic background modelling ...
