▼ One of the fundamental problems in computer vision is point set registration. Point set registration finds use in many important applications and in particular can be considered one of the crucial stages involved in the reconstruction of models of physical objects and environments from depth sensor data. The problem of globally aligning multiple point sets, representing spatial shape measurements from varying sensor viewpoints, into a common frame of reference is a complex task that is imperative due to the large number of critical functions that accurate and reliable model reconstructions contribute to. In this thesis we focus on improving the quality and feasibility of model and environment reconstruction through the enhancement of multi-view point set registration techniques. The thesis makes the following contributions: First, we demonstrate that employing kernel density estimation to reason about the unknown generating surfaces that range sensors measure allows us to express measurement variability, uncertainty and also to separate the problems of model design and viewpoint alignment optimisation. Our surface estimates define novel view alignment objective functions that inform the registration process. Our surfaces can be estimated from point clouds in a datadriven fashion. Through experiments on a variety of datasets we demonstrate that we have developed a novel and effective solution to the simultaneous multi-view registration problem. We then focus on constructing a distributed computation framework capable of solving generic high-throughput computational problems. We present a novel task-farming model that we call Semi-Synchronised Task Farming (SSTF), capable of modelling and subsequently solving computationally distributable problems that benefit from both independent and dependent distributed components and a level of communication between process elements. We demonstrate that this framework is a novel schema for parallel computer vision algorithms and evaluate the performance to establish computational gains over serial implementations. We couple this framework with an accurate computation-time prediction model to contribute a novel structure appropriate for addressing expensive real-world algorithms with substantial parallel performance and predictable time savings. Finally, we focus on a timely instance of the multi-view registration problem: modern range sensors provide large numbers of viewpoint samples that result in an abundance of depth data information. The ability to utilise this abundance of depth data in a feasible and principled fashion is of importance to many emerging application areas making use of spatial information. We develop novel methodology for the registration of depth measurements acquired from many viewpoints capturing physical object surfaces. By defining registration and alignment quality metrics based on our density estimation framework we construct an optimisation methodology that implicitly considers all viewpoints simultaneously. We use a non-parametric data-driven…

▼ Image Registration plays a very important role in the field of remote sensing. In order to have a better registration quality and make the automatization possible, choos ing and matching the control points from conjugate images become very important. In fact, the control points required for image registration should have following three key factors, that is, the amount, validity and distribution of control points. ããIn the study, we take QuickBird Satellite Images as the main ones; on the other hand, it conducts two groups of image registrations resulted from aerial images at various times. After detecting feature points using different algorithms, the study makes use of feature matching methods to get conjugate points between two overlapped images. The algorithms used above are SIFT, ASIFT and MESR. SIFT is an algorithm which invariant to scales, rotation, affine stretch and change in brightness. ASIFT undertakes simulations based on the theory of SIFT and thus carries out fully affine invariant. The feature points obtained from MSER have physical meaning in its location. By using feature matching algorithms like K-d tree and BBF, the matched feature points from two overlapped images would be turned into the conjugate points which can be control points for image registration. ããDuring the process of image preprocessing, it is learned that the feature points detected by SIFT and MSER through feature matching are very few. Hence, this study attempts to employ histogram specificationãcontrast stretching and scale change methods to see if it is helpful to the feature detections and matching through change of image quality and image size. The experiment found that scale change will improve both the amount and accuracy of conjugate points detected by different algorithms. When considering distribution of the feature points, the study takes advantage of image cropping approach to conduct feature detections and matching individually. It is found that more conjugate points with uniform distribution can be obtained via image cropping technique.

▼ This dissertation encompasses a breadth of topics in the area of functional data analysis where each function is modeled as a Gaussian process within the framework of a Bayesian hierarchical model. As Gaussian processes cannot be worked with directly in this context, a foundational aspect of this work illustrates that using a finite approximation to each process is sufficient to provide good estimates throughout the entire process. More importantly, it is established that using a finite approximation of a bivariate random process within the estimation procedure also results in providing good estimates throughout the entire bivariate process. With this result, the mean and covariance functions associated with a Gaussian process can be considered as random effects within a Bayesian hierarchical model. Inference for both parameters is based upon their posterior distributions which provide not only estimates of these parameters, but also quantifies variation in these parameters. Here we also propose Bayesian hierarchical models for smoothing, functional linear regression, and functional registration. The registration model introduced here is shown to favorably compare with the best registration methods currently available as measured by the Sobolev Least Squares criterion. Within this registration framework, an Adapted Variational Bayes algorithm is introduced to address the computational costs associated with inference in high-dimensional Bayesian models. With multiple examples, both simulated and using real data, it is shown that this algorithm results in registered function estimates that closely agree with corresponding estimates obtained from an MCMC sampling scheme. With this algorithm, functional prediction is considered for the first time in a registration context. The final area of inference for functional data that is proposed for the first time here is a combined registration and factor analysis model. This model is shown to outperform currently available registration methods for data in which the registered functions vary in more than one functional direction. The models presented here are applied to several simulated data sets as well as data from the Berkeley Growth Study, functional sea-surface temperature data, and a juggling data set.

▼ Sexual offending is considered the most deplorable type of crime, especially when the victims are children. A few particularly sensational cases of sexual assaults against children have led to public outrage and, ultimately, the introduction of new strategies for controlling the sex offender population. Two of the most controversial techniques for controlling sex offender behavior, registration/notification policies and civil commitment statutes, were widely implemented in the 1990â€™s. Registration/notification policies (adopted in all 50 states) require that law enforcement officials both maintain a centralized database of all sexual offenders in each jurisdiction and make that list available to the public. Civil commitment statutes (adopted in 20 states) allow the state to keep high-risk offenders under state control (i.e., in state institutions) even after the offendersâ€™ criminal sentence is complete. This dissertation focused on the adoption of these policies (Study 1) and the impact of these policies (Study 2). Study 1 tested two explanations that have traditionally been offered to explain the risk and timing of policy adoption: internal determinants and diffusion. Internal determinants are factors that are unique to the state, such as the political party of the governor or the unemployment rate. Diffusion is a temporal process in which states respond to the policy choices that other states are making. Studies of state-level adoption of multiple types of policies have found that both internal determinants and diffusion theories can be used to explain the timing of policy adoption (Berry & Berry, 1990). These two theoretical approaches were tested using annual, state-level data from 1986 through 2007. The data used for analysis was drawn from multiple sources, including the Statistical Abstracts of the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Uniform Crime Reports. Original variables (e.g., the percentage of neighboring states that have adopted the policy) were also created to capture the diffusion of the two policies and diffusion mechanisms. The results of Study 1 suggest that the factors that led to the adoption of sexual offending legislation differed from those traditionally used to explain policy adoption. Only one of the internal determinant variables was significantly associated with the risk and timing of adopting registration/notification policies. Region of the country was an important predictor of adoption risk, such that states in the Southern region were significantly less likely to adopt the policies, or did so later, than states in other regions of the country. Two additional internal determinants were associated with the timing of adopting a civil commitment statute. First, states with higher populations were more likely to adopt such policies, or to adopt them sooner, than states with smaller populations. Second, states with higher levels of unemployment were less likely to adopt civil commitment statutes, or adopted them later, than states with lower levels… Advisors/Committee Members: R.

▼ 3D object recognition using depth data remains a difficult problem in computer vision. In this thesis, an object recognition system based on registering repeatable 3D surface segments, termed recognition by registration (RbR) is proposed. The goal is to eliminate the dependency on local geometry for establishing point-to-point correspondences, while maintaining the robust trait of a global technique by applying a pairwise registration process on these individual segments. The extraction of repeatable surface segments is achieved by inheriting the high repeatability of interest points, most often utilized to increase the performance of matching local shape descriptors. Precisely, dense sets of interest points are connected to form the surface segment boundaries by greedily optimizing a smoothness constraint. The reconstructed boundaries provide an effective means to facilitate fast 3D region growing on the object and scene surfaces, forming the 3D interest segments. Pairwise registration of the model and scene interest segments must then consider the imperfectly extracted segments due to data noise, occlusion, and error from the segmentation itself. An adaptation of the robust 4 points congruent sets (4PCS) registration algorithm was shown to register interest segments efficiently with great success. This is achieved by utilizing the prior knowledge of the 3D model interest segments that can be preprocessed, coupled with pose clustering of the retrieved transformation candidates. Experimentally, the interest segment repeatability, registration rate, and the object recognition rate were evaluated using a variety of free-form objects in 3D model data corrupted with synthetic noise and real 2.5D cluttered scenes. It was found that the interest segments are highly repeatable (>80% per top segment per scene), and that they can also be registered successfully within a reasonable number of RANSAC cycle of the 4PCS algorithm. Compared to other state-of-the art local approaches, RbR enjoyed superior object recognition rates in both accurate LiDAR data and noisy Kinect data (on average >90% for all objects tested in both sets of data), demonstrating that the approach provides a very attractive alternate solution to those in the current literature.

▼ This research paper evaluates land tenure and land registration process in Maua Location of Meru North district of Kenya. It comes at a time when Kenyans are pressurizing the government increasingly to issue title deeds not only at the Coast province but also all over the country (GoK -Ministry of Lands). Maua Location is of concern owing to the fact that the land registration process has been on going since 1966. This is a long time (43 years) for the land registration process not to have been completed, hence the researcher's interest in the location. Other regions of the country where land registration has taken long include the Coastal region of Kenya, the Rift Valley and Nyanza provinces as opposed to central and western provinces where this delay was not experienced as it was done immediately after independence. (From 1994 to 1997, the Location has been subdivided into six locations, thus; Antobochiu-1994, Luluma-1997, Kithetu-1997, Miori-1997, Nguyuyu-1994 and Maua-1994). For purposes of this research, all these locations are combined into one and referred to as Maua Location (See figure 4). Landowners have not yet received their title deeds and this delay has occasioned economic, social, political, and environmental problems. This study examines the different factors that have affected the land registration process such as politics and governance, contradictory policies and institutional framework. Study objectives are identification of relationships between current land policies and the pace of land registration, determination of whether the current land dispute resolution p methods are related to incidences of land cases and identification of the relationship(s) between land subdivision and environmental degradation in the Location. The study shows how introduction of modern land dispute resolution methods as opposed to traditional methods has impacted on the land registration process. This research examines the environmental parameters associated with land registration in Maua Location, and then offers solutions and recommendations to policy makers and others on how to address the issues resu-.lting from land registration in the location. The study consists of five chapters. The background in Chapter 1 is on various legislations that were introduced by the colonial administration (to replace customary land tenure) v and adopted at independence for land registration and their various shortcomings. The chapter contains Statement of the research problem, justification of the research, literature review, and objectives of the study, the hypotheses and the conceptual framework. The scope and limitations of the study is also contained in this chapter. Climate and topography, population, temperature, resource potential, vegetation, winds and relative humidity of the study area are addressed in Chapter 2. The methodology in Chapter 3 included Stratified random sampling and direct observations. Data was from both primary and secondary sources; and was of quantitative nature.…

▼ Company registers are increasingly becoming a crucial source of business information for many stakeholders. While most company registers have concentrated on simplifying business registrations, reducing the number of procedures, time and cost for small entities to be formed, compliance remains a big challenge for many Company Registers. Compliance is not just influenced by economic variables of enforcement and penalties but should be understood in the context of behaviour as influenced by demographic, socio-economic and Institutional factors. The aim of this study was to identify and explain the factors influencing compliance behaviour in filing company annual returns based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour in Zambia. The study used a mixed research approach. A sample of 165 registered companies was randomly selected from the population of 68,049 active companies on the PACRA register. Nine PACRA officers were selected using judgment sampling and in-depth interviews were used. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires. The secondary data were also collected by reviewing related published and unpublished materials. Statistical tests of independence (chi-square tests) formed the basis of analysis. The results of this study showed that annual return filings are influenced both by demographic and external factors. The demographic factors like employment status, Age and education were found to positively influence compliance. Further, compliance was highest (68%) among those with tertiary education compared with (47%) among those with no form of schooling. The study also revealed that those in formal employment were more compliant (64%) than those without employment (47%). Gender was found to be an insignificant factor and such it has no influence on compliance. On external factors, cultural norms, government policies and compliance fees were identified in the study and were found to have an influence on compliance (save for compliance fees). Finally, the findings of the study may guide government institutions that spend huge costs on enforcement year in year out but it is not so effective and that low penalty fees do not all the time cause voluntary compliance. Further, before Institutions implement costly sensitization campaigns and educational clinics, they need to understand variables that cause compliance behaviour. The study findings can help Policy makers and PACRA meeting its strategic goals of raising compliance levels which currently stand at 40% to about 70%.

▼ ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONThe Hospital as Environment: Assessing and Improving the Efficacy and Impacts of Interventions Designed to Reduce Hospital Acquired Infectionsby Evelyn Natalia AlvarezDoctor of Philosophy in Environmental Health Sciences University of California, Los Angeles, 2018Professor Hilary Godwin, Co-Chair Richard J. Jackson, Co-ChairThe overarching goal of the work described herein is to examine strategies for improving the safety of hospital environments. Specifically, I examine the evidence-base used to approve antimicrobials that could be linked to health outcomes, consider the cost-effectiveness of emerging infection prevention technologies, such as antimicrobial copper surfaces, and assess the psychosocial impacts of pediatric isolation precautions. There has been considerable interest in evaluating the in vitro antimicrobial efficacy of copper alloy surfaces as demonstrated by the numerous in vitro studies conducted in the past decade, prompting us to consider the clinical efficacy of such emerging technologies. The first section provides a critical review of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) antimicrobial registration process and of the scholarly literature to investigate the current state of the hospital with regards to hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and whether improvements could be made at the policy level to address this. We reviewed current literature on the national rates of HAIs, current hospital infection prevention practices, and emerging technologies, in particular copper alloy surfaces, that aim to decrease the rate of HAIs. Based on review of these findings, we recommended that antimicrobials for usage in hospital settings be subject to more rigorous regulatory scrutiny, requiring clinical evidence of efficacy if public health claims are made, and we proposed a revised paradigm of registering antimicrobials for use in hospital settings. The second section reports an assessment of the cost-effectiveness and public health benefits of emerging hospital technologies, such as copper alloy surfaces, that have previously been demonstrated to have strong in vitro effectiveness against common hospital pathogens. We compared the cost and performance of standard surfaces with that of copper alloy surfaces based on results from the first clinical study conducted evaluating the in vivo efficacy of copper alloy against common hospital pathogens. With reasonable estimates and data from the literature, our cost-effectiveness model indicated that copper alloy surfaces are a moderately cost-effective strategy for hospitals to adopt in the prevention of HAIs but have minimal incremental effectiveness compared to standard surfaces as measured in quality adjusted life years (QALYs). In the future, this methodology could be used to determine if copper alloy surfaces are a cost-effective strategy for hospitals to adopt based on the availability of more clinical evidence. The third section, addresses a critical gap in the literature on qualitative data on contact isolation…

▼ Radiologic imaging is entrenched in standard practice for screening men with suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa) and to inform treatment decisions. Correlating in-vivo imaging to the radical prostatectomy (RP) specimen, however, is a challenging task due to the vast differences in resolution, scale, and deformation of the tissue. Microscopic examination of the RP specimen represents the gold-standard for diagnosis of PCa, so correlation with radiologic imaging is necessary in order to validate PCa detection competency. In this work, a methodology and program are presented with three aims: one, match histopathology slices to their corresponding radiologic images; two, register histopathology images to their corresponding radiologic image; and three, validate PCa detection in the radiologic image based on the registration with histopathology. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) (b50-b2000) was used in this work for proof of concept. Histopathology slides were scanned and processed in order to be compatible with a novel registration program. A slice matching method was established and a program, process_H, was created in MatLab (v2017b. Natick, MA) in order to register reconstructed histopathology slices to their closest corresponding DWI slice. A cohort of three RP patients, 29 total histopathological slices, with pre-operative multi-parametric magnetic resonance images (mpMRIs) was identified. Using this cohort, a set of histological images was prepared and process_H registered the respective images, creating validation sets for the registration as well as binary pixel-by-pixel data sets defining PCa by Gleason Score (GS). These pixel-by-pixel data sets were then used to validate PCa detection from the in-vivo DWIs by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. This work specifically compares the diffusion coefficient (D), distributed diffusion coefficient (DDC), and a heterogeneity index (α) to GS. Our results show utility for our methodology and program in the validation of PCa. Further development will make this tool a valuable addition for validating new imaging sequences and those in current use. Advisors/Committee Members: Magin, Richard (advisor), Abern, Michael R.

▼ This dissertation addresses a topic of concern within international development today, which is that 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 worldwide have not been registered at birth (UNICEF 2017). I identify the causes for why so many people are left out of civil registration systems and the consequences of such exclusion for individuals’ lives and states’ development aspirations. I conducted 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, during which I provided paralegal assistance to migrants and other marginalized families who faced challenges in obtaining basic documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and identity cards. I also conducted over 100 “document inventories” of households living on palm oil plantations, informal settlements, and urban areas, which is a method I developed to catalogue the evidence a family possesses to substantiate their identities. I supplement this fieldwork with a case study of Myanmar based on historical sources and qualitative interviews. My main argument challenges the assumption that under-registration is the result of a lack of state capacity. I draw attention to how the recording of vital events, more than being a routine bureaucratic task, has profound socio-legal implications—most importantly for the determination of citizenship. I demonstrate that who gets counted, and how, are inherently political choices, and that these choices are often made in ways that exclude migrants and racial minorities from the nation by depriving them of the means to prove their legal personhood. In highlighting the voices and experiences of the families I followed, I demonstrate how omission from civil registration has reverberant negative consequences for people’s lives, including ineligibility to attend school, arrests and detentions, the denial of reproductive healthcare, and the intergenerational transmission of irregular legal status. At the state level, I show how bureaucratic procedures for maintaining civil registration systems have been influenced by racialized fears about the demographic threats posed by migrants, which have transformed attitudes about the counting of births from being administrative tools, to being declarations about the boundaries of national identity and belonging.

▼

Image Registration is an algorithmic optimization process primarily aimed at estimating the most optimal transformation from one image's coordinate plane onto another. Nonlinear image registration has been the subject of numerous research initiatives. This widespread focus on the topic has resulted in a variety of different registration methods, intrinsic novel findings, as well as application areas. Although many potential use cases exist, the main three typical applications for 2D and 3D registration methods include object tracking in a series of scans, interpatient registrations, and multi-modal registration. Substantial research efforts have also begun to observe the registration process in both constrained and unconstrained settings as well as applied focused work on the regularization and homeomorphic behavior of vector fields for more accurate registration results. In this thesis, we compare the registration accuracy of our log unbiased multi-resolution registration model against the model provided by Igor et al. [16]. We also compare the effects of various objective functions on the ultimate accuracy of our multiresolution registration framework. Additionally, we delineate the short-comings of the log unbiased model [16] and mathematically propose a method to further accommodate these shortcomings as well further enforce topology preservation and smoothness in the displacement fields in hopes of making the model more robust specifically in a continuous setting. Our multi-resolution method utilizes information theory to quantify the magnitude of deformations, generates intuitively correct deformation maps, and correctly represents non-smooth transformations. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed framework, we generalize the well known large-deformation viscous fluid model. We are able to show that our proposed multi-resolution scheme generates more accurate transformation maps compared to those generated using the plain viscous fluid model with fluid regularization. We examine the power of this model to detect real changes specifically as we compare its use with different matching functionals. The results presented in this work show that the unbiased methods have higher reproducibility and accuracy than conventional registration models. Numerical results are presented in chapter 4, 5, and 6.
