Improvements to a queue and delay estimation algorithm utilized in video imaging vehicle detection systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Video Imaging Vehicle Detection Systems (VIVDS) are steadily becoming the dominant
method for the detection of vehicles at a signalized traffic approach. This research is
intended to investigate the improvement of a queue ...
Navigation solution for the Texas A&M autonomous ground vehicle
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The need addressed in this thesis is to provide an Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV)
with accurate information regarding its position, velocity, and orientation. The system chosen to
meet these needs incorporates (1) a ...
Dynamic Wind Tunnel Load and Attitude Measurements Using State Estimation
(2017-12-04)
Sting-mounted models that undergo significant unsteady motion suffer from degraded data quality because the data is time-averaged to remove the unsteady fluctuations. However, time-averaged data is not always an accurate ...
Online parameter estimation applied to mixed conduction/radiation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The conventional method of thermal modeling of space payloads is expensive and cumbersome. Radiation plays an important part in the thermal modeling of space payloads because of the presence of vacuum and deep space viewing. ...
Integrated Algorithms and Multiple Antenna Techniques for Direction of Arrival (DOA) Estimation
(2013-04-25)
In this dissertation, we design and develop a novel direction-of-arrival (DOA) finding system. We investigate the problems of DOA finding using canonical and crystallographic antenna array structures, develop a novel ...
Parameter Estimation Methods for Single Molecule Data Analysis
(2019-08-14)
The advent of single molecule microscopy enabled the study of subcellular processes at the single molecule level, which was not possible before through conventional microscopy. This work makes contributions to parameter ...
Position Estimation Using Gravity, Sun, Planets, and Stars
(2021-07-19)
Before humanity can safely venture away from their terrestrial roots, robotic probes will be required to survey distant planets and moons. The current methodology for interfacing with rovers on the Moon and Mars is through ...
Monocular Vision-Based Guidance and Navigation
(2021-07-14)
This thesis develops mathematical methods for utilizing monocular camera measurements for the guidance and navigation of various aerospace vehicles. For each of the three projects discussed, a nonlinear estimation algorithm ...
On Selected Topics in Space Domain Awareness
(2023-01-10)
Safe and sustainable operations in Geocentric Orbit require the acquisition, tracking, and predictive use of a large amount of data pertaining to the existence, characterization, and orbital state of objects in Earth orbit. ...
