Obesity classification from facial images using deep learning
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a serious health problem that is on the rise both in the United States and globally. Obesity is frequently defined using the clinical Body Mass Index (BMI) ratio of height and weight. Overweight ... -
Object oriented router simulator
(International Society for Computers and Their Applications, 2001-08) -
Object recall from natural-language descriptions for autonomous robotic grasping
(IEEE, 2020-01-20)Humans acquire grasping skills through repeated interaction with the objects; and they internalize the knowledge of various physical attributes of such objects. Even blindfolded, humans can reasonably estimate a suitable ... -
Objective function weight selection for sequential low-thrust orbit-raising optimization problem
(Univelt Inc., 2019-01)In this paper, we consider the low-thrust orbit-raising problem formulated as a sequence of optimal control sub-problems. This formulation is helpful in rapid and robust generation of geocentric electric orbit-raising ... -
Oblique machining of uni directional carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites
(Wichita State University, 2011-05)Composite materials have a wide range of applications in aerospace and automotive industries due to the advantage of their tailorability when manufacturing. These materials are manufactured near net shape but post-production ... -
Observer based, dead-beat controller with reduced sensitivity
(IEEE, 1988-06-15)In this paper, a method is proposed for the design of linear, multivariable, discrete-time controllers with the following characteristics: 1. Constant-gain, minimal order observer - based control laws, 2. n-step, dead beat ... -
The observer-based controller design of discrete-time singularly perturbed systems
(IEEE, 1987-03-01)A class of linear shift-invariant discrete-time singularly perturbed systems with inaccessible states is considered. A design technique is formulated by which the stabilizing controller can be formed through the controllers ... -
The observer-based controller design of the discrete-time singularly perturbed systems
(IEEE, 1986-06-18)The dynamic feedback control for a class of linear shift-invariant discrete-time singularly perturbed systems with inaccessible states is considered through a separate observer-based controller design for two lower-dimensional ... -
Observer/controller with global practical stability for tracking in robots without velocity measurement
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-09)In this work, a global practical stability (GPS) observer/controller is given for a revolute-jointed multiple degree of freedom robotic plant without velocity measurement and without knowledge of plant parameter values and ... -
Observing and inspecting cracks and dents in teeth using dye penetrant liquids without x-ray imaging
(IEEE, 2020-06-16)Cracked teeth are generally observed in dental practice and are always nightmare to the patients due to their unpredictable symptoms and diagnostic conundrum for the dental practitioner due to their variable and unusual ... -
Obstacle adaptive approaches for distributed task assignment in autonomous mobile robots
(Wichita State University, 2009-07)It has many challenges to assign a group of mobile robots to individual targets according to the specific constraints. In addition to the group behavior constraints (one-toone or one-to-many) of the task assignment, some ... -
Obtaining maximum benefits from laboratory instruction
(IEEE, 1982-10-18) -
Occupant injury assessment in an emergency landing condition for a vertical take-off and landing aircraft
(Wichita State University, 2020-12)In the next few years, the aeronautical industry is poised to change in a way it has not for decades. There has been a rising interest in deploying Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft to serve on-demand ... -
OCTOPUS: an on-demand communication topology updating strategy for mobile sensor networks
(IEEE, 2011-04)Mobile sensor networks are characterized by dynamic changes in communication links and network topology caused mainly due to node mobility. In such networks, it is a challenge to build a communication system that lasts ... -
OCTOPUS: On-demand Communication Topology Updating Strategy for Mobile Sensor Networks
(CRC Press, 2017-01-30)Mobile sensor networks are characterized by frequent topology updates and selfconfigurations. Networks are created spontaneously whenever nodes are within transmission range of each other. The arrivals and departures of ... -
OMIR event type and frequency at a collegiate flight program
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2020-06)Safety is the priority in aviation; policies adopted by 14 CFR Part 141 Flight Schools aim to increase safety awareness while conducting flight operations. The additional evaluations through knowledge tests and check rides ... -
On automatically classifying software code review feedback in the context of internal quality
(Wichita State University, 2017-07)Recent empirical studies show that the practice of peer-code-review improves soft- ware quality. Therein, the quality is examined from the external perspective of reducing the defects/failures, i.e., bugs, in reviewed ... -
On combinational networks with restricted fan-out
(IEEE, 1978-04)Fan-out-free networks of AND, OR, NOT, EXOR, and MAJORITY gates are considered. Boolean functions for which such networks exist are defined to be fan-out free. The paper solves the following problems regarding the fan-out-free ... -
On improving cross-dataset generalization of deepfake detectors
(IEEE, 2022-06-19)Facial manipulation by deep fake has caused major security risks and raised severe societal concerns. As a countermeasure, a number of deep fake detection methods have been proposed recently. Most of them model deep fake ... -
On level-1 cache locking for high-performance low-power real-time multicore systems
(Elsevier, 2013-04-16)Multiple caches in multicore architecture increase power consumption and timing unpredictability. Although cache locking in single-core systems shows improvement for large multithreaded applications, there is no such ...
