• A modular approach to image matting 

  Talpur, Mir Afgan H. (2022-11-01)

  Image matting is the art of creating an accurate alpha matte for the purpose of foreground separation in an image or video. Although there have been many methods which only require an input image, the best-performing image ...

• Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles 

  Sharma, Tarun (2022-10-01)

  Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...

• Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems 

  Konrad, Mary Elizabeth (2022-10-01)

  Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...

• TCP congestion control using reinforcement learning 

  Karwani, Ali Hassan (2022-10-01)

  TCP, a transport layer protocol which ensures the reliable delivery of information on the network, is the basis of Internet connectivity, with 85% of the worlds Internet traffic being TCP based. TCP however, is slow to ...

• Exploring the effects of mental fatigue on perceptual motor task performance and kinematics 

  Fitzgerald, Sarah A. (2022-11-01)

  Mentally demanding tasks that require performance accuracy are common in several occupations. However, little is known about how mental fatigue can impact accuracy performance. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to ...
