  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Using web services for image processing in a desktop widgets engine Author: Le, Hien Desktop widget engines have emerged as an alternative for completing simple tasks without the need for a full-blown application or constant user interaction. Widgets can simply display data in a compact and visually appealing manner (such as stock tickers, weather forecasts, and news notifications), or go so far as to provide alternative interfaces to sites that expose their services via an API. This project aims to develop an image processing application where the key features are provided neither locally nor by a single host. The Yahoo! Widgets Engine is used to design a simple image processing interface where processing operations are mapped to widgets that can be connected together to create more complex operations. Actual data processing occurs remotely via calls to a REST-style Java web service to allow for a non-local and decentralized system.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Assessing the robustness of web feature services necessary to satisfy the requirements of coastal management applications Author: Bauer, Jennifer R. Ever expanding pressures on the health and productivity of our oceans and coasts from threats such as coastal development and climate change are stressing the need to consider the full spectrum of factors, scales, datasets, opinions, and trade-offs for current and future coastal management actions (Guerry 2009; McLeod and Leslie 2009; Rosenberg and Sandifer 2009). Web-based GIS tools including coastal web atlases (CWAs) and geospatial web services are being rapidly developed to assist managers, decision-makers, and scientists with the creation, implementation, and evaluation of coastal management options. Numerous CWAs are incorporating web feature service (WFS) standards into their websites to provide critical datasets on-the-fly for use in spatial decision support tools to assist with management and policy decisions. However, with this increased use of WFSs in CWAs it’s critical to understand how the various components used to create robust WFSs can affect its performance and ability to successfully execute complex spatial queries that are utilized to assess management options. A subset of county land parcel data from Wisconsin was utilized to assess how various software, hardware, and data characteristics can affect WFSs overall robustness, and how these components impact its ability to execute accurate, timely complex spatial queries consistently and their ability to meet the demands of managers, decision-makers, and scientists. Results suggest that WFSs, with varying levels of robustness, can successfully perform accurate, reliable spatial queries on datasets to extract relevant information pertaining to coastal management concerns, which could impact CWAs by increasing their functionality and range of potential applications provided to users.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Offensive Direction Inference in Real-World Football Video Author: Lu, Qingkai Automatic analysis of American football videos can help teams develop strategies and extract patterns with less human effort. In this work, we focus on the problem of automatically determining which team is on offense/defense, which is an important subproblem for higher-level analysis. While seemingly mundane, this problem is quite challenging when the source of football video is relatively unconstrained, which is the situation we face. Our football videos are collected from a web-service used by more than 13, 000 high school, college, and professional football teams. The videos display huge variation in camera viewpoint, lighting conditions, football field properties, camera work, among many other factors. These factors taken together make standard off-the-shelf computer vision algorithms ineffective. The main contribution of this thesis is to design and evaluate two novel approaches for the offense/defense classification problem from raw video, which make minimal assumptions about the video properties. Our empirical evaluation on approximately 1200 videos of football plays from 10 diverse games validate the effectiveness of the approaches and highlight their differences.
