An Olfactory-Based Robot Swarm Navigation Method

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents a novel robot swarming navigation algorithm in order to find the odor sources in an unknown environment, based on the ability of each swarm member to sense the odor. Each robot in the swarm has a cooperative localization system which us ...

Evaluation of Camera Calibration Approaches for Video Image Detection Systems

In modern traffic management Video Image Detection Systems (VIDS) are becoming increasingly important as traffic sensors. They are getting more affordable and don’t require any road construction like commonly used induction loops. Furthermore, due to the f ...

Deferred-update database replication

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt

This thesis is about the design of high-performance fault-tolerant computer systems. More specifically, it focuses on how to develop database systems that behave correctly and with good performance even in the event of failures. Both performance and depend ...

Exploring the impact of gender in travel behaviour: A case study of suburban commuters in Montreal

Transportation literature suggests that men and women have different characteristics with respect to commuting patterns, as well as with respect to their propensity to switch between travel options. In North America, women are expected to have an increasin ...

Segmentation fémorale par modèle déformable et programmation dynamique

Gaëtan Marti

This Ph.D thesis presents new paradigms in the field of segmentation by mean of deformable models. Classic model-based segmentation approach consists of iteratively deform complex models in the space of the scanner slices until the organ to segment is fitt ...

Dendrite Tracking in Microscopic Images using Minimum Spanning Trees and Localized E-M

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret

We describe in this document our preliminary results regarding the tracking of dendrites spreading from a neuron in confocal microscope im- ages. When using a small number of image layers, we obtain good results by combining a EM-based local estimate of th ...

A drift-kinetic Semi-Lagrangian 4D code for ion turbulence simulation

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard

A new code is presented here, named Gyrokinetic SEmi-LAgragian (GYSELA) code, which solves 4D drift-kinetic equations for ion temperature gradient driven turbulence in a cylinder (r, theta, z). The code validation is performed with the slab ITG mode that o ...

Satisfying Customer Preferences via Mass Customization and Mass Production

Ralf Seifert

Two operational formats namely mass customization and mass production can be implemented to satisfy customer preference-based demand. The mass customization system consists of two stages: the initial build-to-stock phase and the final customize-to-order ph ...

HDR CFA Image Rendering

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We propose a method for high dynamic range (HDR) mapping that is directly applied on the color filter array (CFA) image instead of the already demosaiced image. This rendering is closer to retinal processing where an image is acquired by a mosaic of cones ...
