My thesis is that a realistic image of a human face can be generated using a computational simulation of light transport. I demonstrate this thesis by acquiring the three-dimensional geometry of a face, measuring the reflectance function...
Spatiotemporal modeling is increasingly used in a diverse array of fields, such as ecology, epidemiology, health care research, transportation, economics, and other areas where data arise from a spatiotemporal process. Spatiotemporal...
The performance of a content-based image retrieval system depends on the representation of images. As a typical image consists of different objects, an image segmentation is needed for more accurate representations of contents. The first...
Demand for decentralized, wireless, ad-hoc systems, where hosts are free to leave or join, to replace wired communication systems has seen a phenomenal growth. Such networks need little or no infrastructure support to operate. Deploying...
This thesis presents and evaluates a generic algorithm for incrementally computing the dominant singular subspaces of a matrix. The relationship between the generality of the results and the necessary computation is explored. The...

In this thesis we investigate statistical modelling of neural activity in the brain. We first develop a framework which is an extension of the state-space Generalized Linear Model (GLM) by Eden and colleagues [20] to include the effects...
We investigate two problems in elastic curve shape analysis, working within the context of the square root velocity (SRV) framework. The first of these is to develop specialized algorithms for the analysis of one-dimensional curves, ...
In this dissertation we will discuss geodesics between open curves and also between closed curves in Rn where n ≥ 2. In order to calculate these geodesics, we will form a Riemannian metric on a space of smooth curves with non-vanishing...
