    A proposal to estimate the motion of an underwater vehicle through visual mosaicking 

    García Campos, Rafael (Date of defense: 2001-12-17)

    This thesis proposes a solution to the problem of estimating the motion of an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV). Our approach is based on the integration of the incremental measurements which are provided by a vision system. ...

    A satisfiability modulo theories approach to constraint programming 

    Suy Franch, Josep (Date of defense: 2012-12-20)

    In this thesis we focus on solving CSPs using SMT. Essentially, what we do is reformulating CSPs into SMT. The obtained results allow us to conclude that state-of-the-art SMT solvers are a robust tool to solve CSPs. We ...

    Adaptive urban modelling for solar energy simulations 

    Muñoz Novoa, David (Date of defense: 2019-07-09)

    In summary, this thesis proposes to address the problem of simulating physical effects in large urban environments through the use of procedural rules and Level-of-Detail techniques, in order to reduce the computational ...

    Admission control schemes for TCP elastic traffic in class-based networks 

    Fàbrega i Soler, Lluís (Date of defense: 2008-07-11)

    En aquesta tesi proposem dos esquemes de xarxa amb control d'admissió per al trànsit elàstic TCP amb mecanismes senzills. Ambdós esquemes són capaços de proporcionar throughputs diferents i aïllament entre fluxos, on un ...

    Advanced techniques in trajectory data analysis for anomaly detection and map construction 

    Yuejun, Guo (Date of defense: 2020-05-29)

    With a large amount of trajectory data generated every day, there is a high demand for developing advanced techniques to discover the underlying information instead of dull and heavy manual work. This thesis focuses on the ...
