In summary, an abnormality detection system, which involves in human detection, human tracking, and activity classification, is discussed in the dissertation. The current system can only work under familiar environments. ...

This thesis reports the continuing effort towards establishing a parallel numerical algorithm known as Waveform Relaxation (WR) for simulating large power system dynamics. Past work has shown the feasibility of this method ...

The effects of thermal annealing ((TURN)900(DEGREES)C) on quantum-well laser diode properties are investigated. The shift to higher energies caused by inter-diffusion of Al and Ga at the quantum-well interfaces in modeled ...

Third, it has been noticed in image estimation practice that a translation invariant (TI) wavelet transform enhances estimation performance. We analyze the conventional complete wavelet transform and the TI wavelet transform ...

Recently there has been much interest in understanding why deep neural networks are preferred to shallow networks. We show that, for a large class of piecewise smooth functions, the number of neurons needed by a shallow ...

An enabling technology for cognitive radio is expeditious wideband spectrum sensing. A major challenge for implementing wideband spectrum sensors is fitting a wideband antenna within a given form factor. Scanning a narrowband ...

In this thesis, the modeling of wind farms based on type-C wind power generators (WTGs) is studied. Based on time scale decomposition, two detailed dynamic models are presented. In both models, a rotor speed controller, a ...

This thesis introduces some improvements to the robotic testbed in the Robotics Laboratory in the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The main goal was to improve the wireless ...
