Advanced techniques in trajectory data analysis for anomaly detection and map construction
Yuejun, Guo (Date of defense: 2020-05-29)
With a large amount of trajectory data generated every day, there is a high demand for developing advanced techniques to discover the underlying information instead of dull and heavy manual work. This thesis focuses on the ...
Augmented film narrative by use on non-photorealistic rendering: from 3D cinema to virtual reality
Fajnzylber Reyes, Victor (Date of defense: 2021-09-19)
It is stated that non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) triggers specific ocular behaviors that can have a real effect on the way of perceiving a cinematic narrative. The transdisciplinary interest of this thesis lies in ...
Continuity and interpolation techniques for computer graphics
González García, Francisco (Date of defense: 2013-04-11)
In Computer Graphics applications, it is a common practice to texture 3D models to apply material properties to them. Then, once the models are textured, they are deformed to create new poses that can be more appropriate ...
GPU parallel algorithms for reporting movement behaviour patterns in spatiotemporal databases
Valladares Cereceda, Ignacio (Date of defense: 2013-07-18)
In this thesis we treat and solve various problems related to movement pattern detection by designing and implementing parallel algorithms using the GPU. We first propose a GPU pipeline based algorithm to report the ’Popular ...
High dynamic range content acquisition from multiple exposures
Ramírez Orozco, Raissel (Date of defense: 2016-01-29)
The limited dynamic range of digital images can be extended by composing different exposures of the same scene to produce HDR images. This thesis is composed of an overview of the state of the art techniques and three ...
Imaginación visual: nuevo paradigma en interfaces cerebro-máquina
Llorella Costa, Fabio Ricardo (Date of defense: 2023-06-01)
This doctoral thesis focuses on the study of the use of visual imagery for the construction of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) non-invasive. Although the construction of brain-computer interfaces is already is a reality, ...
Medical imaging applied to teaching and meat science
Xiberta, Pau (Date of defense: 2018-05-25)
Medical imaging has greatly progressed to become an essential technology in current clinical processes. However, advances in diagnostic imaging have not been applied to the same extent to other fields such as education and ...
Medical imaging techniques for the analysis and measurement of composite materials
Julià i Juanola, Adrià (Date of defense: 2022-11-11)
The purpose of this thesis is the research and development of methods, algorithms and tools for the analysis of composite materials. In order to improve their properties, one must employ specific techniques in order to ...
Multimodal visualization based on mutual information
Bramon Feixas, Roger (Date of defense: 2013-07-15)
Medical imaging and 3D volumetric visualization are a standard routine for patient diagnosis and treatment. Multimodal visualization plays an important role in medical diagnosis and treatment, because it makes findings ...
New solutions to control robotic environments: quality control in food packaging
