PhD Dissertation Defense: Visual Navigation Applications in Low Contrast Environments: Multi Sensor Iceberg Mapping Vikrant Shah Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Most approaches to visual navigation make multiple assumptions about the scenes being imaged. There are implicit assumptions about the scene being predominantly static and the availability of well illuminated, texture rich, objects in the scene. […]
ECE Seminar: Reinforcement Learning Perspective to Data-Driven and Model-Based Experimental Design Mahdi Imani Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Design and decision-making are pervasive in most practical systems including smart grids, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and smart homes. Accurate system modeling is difficult in most systems/processes due to the complicated system dynamics, multi-physics and multiple time scales involved […]
