Collaborative design and feasibility assessment of computational nutrient sensing for simulated food-intake tracking in a healthcare environment
(University of Waterloo, 2021-11-19)One in four older adults (65 years and over) are living with some form of malnutrition. This increases their odds of hospitalization four-fold and is associated with decreased quality of life and increased mortality. In ... -
Correction Methods for Non-Stationary Noise Floor in Sentinel-1 Images Using Convex Optimization
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a method of creating images of the surface of the Earth by emitting and receiving radar waves. Sentinel-1 is a SAR platform made by the European Space Agency (ESA) that provides a source ... -
Evolutionary Design for Computational Visual Attention
(University of Waterloo, 2003)A new framework for simulating the visual attention system in primates is introduced. The proposed architecture is an abstraction of existing approaches influenced by the work of Koch and Ullman, and Tompa. Each stage ... -
General Adaptive Monte Carlo Bayesian Image Denoising
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-13)Image noise reduction, or denoising, is an active area of research, although many of the techniques cited in the literature mainly target additive white noise. With an emphasis on signal-dependent noise, this thesis presents ... -
Monte Carlo Framework for Prostate Cancer Correction and Reconstruction in Endorectal Multi-parametric MRI
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-31)Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in the male population. The detection of prostate cancer using imaging has been challenging until recently. Multi-parametric MRI has been shown to allow accurate ... -
Reinforcement Learning for Parameter Control of Image-Based Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The significant amount of data contained in digital images present barriers to methods of learning from the information they hold. Noise and the subjectivity of image evaluation further complicate such automated processes. ... -
Statistical Model-Based Corneal Reconstruction
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-10)Precise measurements of corneal layer thickness are required to treat, evaluate risk of, and determine the progression of pathologies within the eye. The thickness measurements are typically acquired as 2d images, known ... -
Systematic Characterization Framework of Row-Column Ultrasound Imaging Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-30)3-D ultrasound imaging offers unique opportunities in the field of non-destructive testing that cannot be easily found in A-mode and B-mode images. To acquire a 3-D ultrasound image without a mechanically moving transducer, ...
