O! Canada? : a pavilion for the 2010 World Exposition in Shanghai
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)While ninety percent of new buildings in Canada are built with light wood framing, the conventions of this construction method are seldom challenged, the economic systems behind their materials scarcely exposed, and the ... -
Obesity & overweight epidemic : an innovative approach to understanding & addressing obesity In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Obesity and overweight are complex global issues that have been and continue to be a significant problem that needs to be addressed. Understanding obesity and overweight are fundamental to finding practical and sustainable ... -
Object and pattern detection in video sequences
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
The object as a vessel for vitality : a design methodology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)"To Build, form blocks, like a ladder into the sky, into the Earth,to bind the elements, Water and Fire". Like Wittgenstein's this is an attempt to define a personal methodology, which when documented and left behind might ... -
Object discovery via layer disposal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)A key limitation of semantic image segmentation approaches is that they require large amounts of densely labeled training data. In this thesis, we introduce a method to learn to segment images with unlabeled data. The ... -
Object evolution : adding runtime class mutability to the JVM
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis proposes an extension to the Java programming language in which a program may specify that an object can change its class at runtime. The project proposes a programmer interface for using this new capability. ... -
Object localization and identification for autonomous operation of surface marine vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)A method for autonomous navigation of surface marine vehicles is developed A camera video stream is utilized as input to achieve object localization and identification by application of state-of-the-art Machine Learning ... -
An object oriented approach to matrix analysis of structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Object recognition using color and geometry indexing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Object recognition with latent Conditional Random Fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this thesis we present a discriminative part-based approach for the recognition of object classes from unsegmented cluttered scenes. Objects are modelled as flexible constellations of parts conditioned on local observations. ... -
Object recognition with partially labeled examples
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Object recognition with pictorial structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis presents a statistical framework for object recognition. The framework is motivated by the pictorial structure models introduced by Fischler and Elschlager nearly 30 years ago. The basic idea is to model an ... -
An object server for the process handbook
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Object Spreadsheets : an end-user development tool for web applications backed by entity-relationship data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)There is a growing demand for data-driven web applications that help automate organizational and business processes of low to medium complexity by letting users view and update structured data in controlled ways. We present ... -
Object tracking in mmWave radar networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Location-aware devices enable new services such as localization and tracking of objects within existing wireless communication networks like cellular mobile, Wi-Fi, and radio. To ensure these services are also available ... -
Object-based audio capture : separating acoustically-mixed sounds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This thesis investigates how a digital system can recognize and isolate individual sound sources, or audio objects, from an environment containing several sounds. The main contribution of this work is the application of ... -
Object-Centric Planning for Long-Horizon Robotic Manipulation and Navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)A primary objective within the robotics research community is the development of robotic agents capable of executing long-horizon tasks within complex and novel environments. The sparse and factored nature of object-centric ... -
An object-oriented approach towards enhancing logical connectivity in a distributed database environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
Object-oriented file translator for the MEMCAD system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
An object-oriented implementation of a Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP) library
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This Master of Engineering Thesis describes the design and implementation of an object-oriented Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP) library. LLRP is a recently released protocol which standardizes the formats and methods of ...
