García Fernández, Ismael (Date of defense: 2012-10-24)
The main question explored in this thesis is how to define novel parallel random-access data structures for surface and image spatial data with efficient construction, storage, and query memory access patterns. Our main ...
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 ...
González García, Francisco (Date of defense: 2013-04-11)
In Computer Graphics applications, it is a common practice to texture 3D models to apply material properties to them. Then, once the models are textured, they are deformed to create new poses that can be more appropriate ...
Bramon Feixas, Roger (Date of defense: 2013-07-15)
Medical imaging and 3D volumetric visualization are a standard routine for patient diagnosis and treatment. Multimodal visualization plays an important role in medical diagnosis and treatment, because it makes findings ...
Valladares Cereceda, Ignacio (Date of defense: 2013-07-18)
In this thesis we treat and solve various problems related to movement pattern detection by designing and implementing parallel algorithms using the GPU. We first propose a GPU pipeline based algorithm to report the ’Popular ...
Wattanasoontorn, Voravika (Date of defense: 2013-12-11)
Serious games are video games designed to provide specific expertise, knowledge and skills to the player, going beyond pure entertainment. In this thesis we present a classification of serious games for health and medicine ...
Vives Mestres, Marina (Date of defense: 2014-11-28)
Compositional data are defined as vectors of components that represent parts of a whole and contain relative information (e.g. %, ppm, mg/l...). CoDa are widely found in chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries among ...
Vila Duran, Marius (Date of defense: 2015-07-09)
We are in the information age where most data is stored in digital format. Thus, the management of digital documents and videos requires the development of efficient techniques for automatic analysis. Among them, capturing ...
Bonaventura Brugués, Xavier (Date of defense: 2015-07-10)
Viewpoint selection has been an emerging area in computer graphics for some years, and it is now getting maturity with applications in fields such as scene navigation, volume visualization, object recognition, mesh ...
Palahí i Sitges, Miquel (Date of defense: 2015-12-10)
In this thesis we focus on reformulate constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) into SAT Modulo Theories (SMT). SMT is an extension of SAT where the literals appearing in the formulas are not restricted to contain only ...
Pueyo Vallet, Oriol (Date of defense: 2016-01-15)
Computer Graphics applications community has big interest on urban modeling and especially on designing complex and realistic cities and buildings. This topic is interesting for film, video game and urbanism industries. ...
Ramírez Orozco, Raissel (Date of defense: 2016-01-29)
The limited dynamic range of digital images can be extended by composing different exposures of the same scene to produce HDR images. This thesis is composed of an overview of the state of the art techniques and three ...
Bonmatí Coll, Ester (Date of defense: 2016-02-05)
The human brain is a complex network that shares and processes information by using the structural paths between areas in order to perform a function. The connectome models the brain as a graph where nodes correspond to ...
Xiberta, Pau (Date of defense: 2018-05-25)
Medical imaging has greatly progressed to become an essential technology in current clinical processes. However, advances in diagnostic imaging have not been applied to the same extent to other fields such as education and ...
Comas Cufí, Marc (Date of defense: 2018-10-24)
The present thesis is a compendium of three original works produced between 2014 and 2018. The papers have a common link: they are different contributions made by compositional data analysis to the study of the models based ...
Espasa Arxer, Joan (Date of defense: 2018-11-15)
Automated planning is a discipline in the field of Artificial Intelligence that can be described as the process of finding a course of action that achieves a specified task. In other words, it focuses on reasoning about ...
