computer-aided mechanism design
… design tasks. In this thesis, we study computer-aided mechanism design as an alternative to manual construction and analysis of mechanisms. In our approach, a mechanism is a program that receives inputs from agents with private preferences, and produces a public output. Rather than programming …

Computer-aided constrained writing
How can computers aid human creative processes without impinging on human creativity? I enjoy writing poetry, and I do not want to be made obsolete by an artificial poet. But what if computers could help rather than replace me? I want creative control over my work. All the creative decisions are to …

Multipath aided rapid acquisition
Spread-spectrum systems with large transmission bandwidth present significant challenges from the standpoint of achieving synchronization before communication commences. This research investigates a rapid acquisition procedure that exploits the multipath to aid the synchronization. In particular, …

Innovative computer aided diagramming
Computer aided diagramming (CAD) tools today are based on the approach of a fixed symbol into which text is fitted. This approach leads to shortfalls in human interfacing and tool development. The inverse view of entering the text and then drawing the symbol around it provides the basis for an …

Computer-aided electrocardiogram analysis
An electrocardiogram analysis package is developed in this thesis. A parabolic smoothing with pre-set threshold for attenuating effects on high frequency components is applied. The GF and operational transforms are studied and examined for their constraints, applications and flexibility. These …

Geomagnetic Aided Dead-Reckoning Navigation
<p>The dependence of modern navigation methods on global positioning systems has led to developing alternative algorithms for localization, capable of providing reliable and robust estimations. Global position system is commonly used in a vast majority of the world’s devices, and it can supply real …

Optimal Image-Aided Inertial Navigation
… development of a loosely-coupled visual odometry aided inertial navigation algorithm. The fusion of the two sensors is usually performed using a Kalman filter. The pose changes are pairwise time-correlated, i.e. the measurement noise vector at the current epoch is only correlated with the one from …

Computer aided blast fragmentation prediction
The complex and non-linear nature of blast fracturing have restricted common blast design mostly to empirical approaches. The code developed for this investigation avoids both empiricism and large memory requirement in order to simulate the pattern of interacting radial fractures from an array of …

Computer-aided type face design
… proposals are made for a new system for computer-aided type face design. This system must be highly interactive, providing rapid visual feedback in response to the designer's actions. Designing is a very unstructured task, frequently with a number of activities being pursued at once. Hence, the …

Computer Aided Drafting Virtual Reality Interface
<p>Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) is pervasive in engineering fields today. It has become indispensable for planning, creating, visualizing, troubleshooting, collaborating, and communicating designs before they exist in physical form. From the beginning, CAD was created to be used by means of a …

Vision-Aided Navigation using Tracked Landmarks
<p>This thesis presents vision-based state estimation algorithms for autonomous vehicles to navigate within GPS-denied environments. To accomplish this objective, an approach is developed that utilizes a priori information about the environment. In particular, the algorithm leverages recognizable …

Computer aided analysis of skin lesions
Effective screening to detect the skin cancer accurately in the early stage is essential for reducing the mortality of skin cancer. Surface features, such as texture and pigmentation area from the surface, epi-illumination images of the skin lesions have been well correlated to detect skin cancer. …
