New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a give thesis/dissertation in DRUM

    Using a Discriminator to Improve Compressive Sensing Efficiency
    (2012) Hencke, Kevin; Benedetto, John; Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    Our work defines, implements, and evaluates a modification to a spectrum-based compression scheme for data streams coming from jet aircraft health-monitoring sensors. The modification consists of the addition of a discriminator which separates data streams into similar classes. We create and justify a simulation of a jet sensor network as a source for data streams. The data streams are compressed and decompressed under the new compression scheme and also under two old ones, and the reconstructions are evaluated for quality. The discriminator-based modification to the existing compression algorithm is found to yield better quality than the other two compression algorithms, at the cost of increased runtime.
