A study on using linear electromagnetic imaging methods for obtaining the grain/air interface inside metallic-walled grain storage bins
(2022-04-28)
This thesis focuses on monitoring stored grain through the use of electromagnetic inversion. Electromagnetic inversion is the process of illuminating a target with electromagnetic waves, and from limited field measurements ...
A data augmentation approach using style-based generative adversarial networks for date fruit classification
(2022-05-16)
Hardness is important for ascertaining the quality of dried fruits such as dates. In the dates sorting facilities, hardness is determined by human visual inspection resulting in the high accuracy of the sorting process. ...
Evaluation methodology for DC line fault clearance techniques in a point-to-point VSC-HVDC transmission system
(2022)
This thesis examines and compares various DC fault clearance methods that can be used for the VSC-HVDC transmission system, specifically in the context of a point-to-point VSC HVDC transmission system. The newest conceptual ...
Agricultural harvester sound classification using convolutional neural networks and spectrograms
(2022-05-25)
This thesis presents deep learning techniques applied to agricultural machines sounds in order to classify them. The objective of the thesis is to determine if it is possible to predict the machines state from the engine ...
Development of a dual-mode microwave-ultrasound breast imaging system
(2022-03-30)
This thesis reports on the development and testing of 2-D and 3-D ultrasound (US) breast imaging systems, as well as a novel integrated microwave-ultrasound breast imaging system that uses US-derived prior information to ...
Bio-polymeric materials for electrical insulation applications.
(2022-01-17)
Fossil-fuel-based insulation materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) have dominated the electrical insulation industry ...
