Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoprism-based nanostructures by Mohammad Mehdi Shahjamali

“…Second, the same gold coating protocol has also been applied to synthesize edge gold coated nanoprism (Ag@Au-framed nanoprism) with ultrathin gold deposition on the edges of the nanoprism, upon etching of the silver template we achieved to synthesis surfactant-free high yield triangular gold nanoframe structure with sub-2 nm thickness. …”

Sampling-based approaches for image and video matting by Ehsan Shahrian Varnousfaderani

“…In addition to these drawbacks of image matting, video matting methods suffer from lack of temporal coherency because conventional video matting methods exploit image matting methods to extract mattes of video frames individually; this introduces temporal jitter in the matte videos. …”

Real-time animation of vegetation : novel 2D approach and interactive authoring interface by Chen, Kan

“…The conventional method of manual drawing (e.g., 2D cartoons) or setting poses of plants at many key frames (e.g., 3D animation movies) requires tedious work and art skills. …”

儒家的异端 ： 试析李贽思想与儒家学说的共通点 = An analysis of the similarity between Lizhi’s thoughts and Confucianism by 刘佑勋 Liew, Youxun

“…However, it seems that his thoughts and teachings might not had been an Anti-Confucianism advocating one and had been framed into such a mold only because of the characteristics that define the orthodoxy of Confucianism would have been defined or manipulated by those who were in power, which in this case being the Ming dynasty imperial court. …”

Development of schlieren-image based flow diagnostics and analysis for supersonic jet flows by Lim, Desmond Haoxiang

“…When compared against PIV results, the much higher spatial and temporal resolution of SIVOF resulted in sharper and clearer vortical structures that can be tracked across several time-resolved frames. An embedded shear layer resulting from subsonic flow downstream of a 0.9 mm diameter Mach disk was also observed, which is testament to the high-fidelity flow field offered by SIVOF. …”

Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…We also demonstrated its dynamic imaging ability at a high scan speed of 2 frames/s by monitoring the fast uptake and clearance process of indocyanine green (ICG) dye in rat cortical vasculature.…”

Structured sparse representations for supervised and unsupervised learning by Zeng, Yijie

“…Video data is even more complex given the temporal variations among frames. Therefore, building a scalable data representation has become a critical part of the ML processing pipeline, where there has been a huge amount of work addressing on this topic in the past. …”

Detection of road markings for advanced driver assistance by Suchitra Sathyanarayana

“…It is shown that the proposed lane marking detection technique yields high detection accuracy, ranging from 98% to 99%, upon validation on an extensive dataset with more than 6,000 image frames representing different illumination, weather and complex road conditions. …”

A machine-learned approach for reducing airborne delays and environmental impact in terminal manoeuvring area using extended arrival management by Lim, Zhi Jun

“…To further address RQ2.2 and enhance the adaptability of the speed control strategy, the thesis explores the application of reinforcement learning (RL) techniques. By framing the speed control problem as a Markov Decision Process (MDP), RL agents learn to make sequential speed decisions based on real-time environmental feedback. …”
