Show moreMy thesis body of work developed from a desire to examine my nonrepresentational artwork in relation to the concept of entropy - the law of thermodynamics that measures the gradual, steady disintegration in a system such as our world. Experimenting with a range of approaches and mediums, I resolved to radically manipulate the inkjet printing of my digital photography files to introduce chance and provoke decay. The resulting prints operate as an orchestrated chaos alluding to environmental decline and collapse, and by extension, potential social degeneration. My art reflects my perceptions of our times as well as adds to the problem. I continue to produce waste through the consumption of materials. I contaminate through inks. I add to landfills with failures. My artwork points out the inevitable end.

Show moreThe development of high resolution LIDAR DSM combined with digital infrared ortho-photography data enhances the ability to map canopy structures with a higher degree of accuracy and precision than with either data set alone. The purpose of this thesis is to map Australian Pine (Casuarina equisetifolia with a 85% or greater accuracy by creating a methodology that uses LIDAR and color infrared ortho-photography and to test it within three different landscape types within Broward County. LIDAR features below a determined height threshold (i.e. Deerpoint 25 ft) were eliminated and recoded to 0 to create Mask 1. NDVI technique separated non-vegetative features from vegetative features to create Mask 2. Mask 1 and Mask 2 were merged and overlaid on the raw LIDAR data set to perform isodata clustering, as well as density slicing to identify mature Australian Pines. Careful delineation of study areas is critical to obtain the highest possible accuracy. Density slicing proved to be a faster and less time consuming technique for achieving 85% level of accuracy than compared to isodata clustering.

Show moreThis dissertation explores the intersection of Paradise, art making, concepts of beauty and the social conventions that influence artists. My exploration occurs within the landscape genre, specifically the landscape photograph. For the purpose of contextualizing this analysis the dissertation is designed as an illustrated book where word and image occupy places of equal importance. Photographs are used as primary source material in this investigation. The work of six accomplished American photographers has been selected so that a lineage may become apparent in the portrayal of a pictorial vision of Eden. All the photographers chosen for the project made/make art that is centered on the paradisiacal landscape, an ideal that is interpreted by each individual photographer according to their gender, socio-political influences, personal spirituality and cultural orientation. The review begins in the 1860's with the work of Carleton Watkins, one of the first photographers of the western American landscape and continues with Timothy O'Sullivan. The review will segue into Modernism with Ansel Adams and Laura Gilpin and ends in latter part of the 20th century with two contemporary American photographers, Linda Connor and Marilyn Bridges. This particular analysis is structured upon a universal image of paradise as a garden and how that image has become culturally imprinted upon humans. The visual manifestations of Eden seen in nineteenth and twentieth century painting and photography are constructed throughout history. They represent use of art as means towards creating utopias. With this impulse to escape or change the status quo I have examined the connection of the appreciation of beauty to ethical transformation.

Show moreFlorida is home to five known aboriginal canoe canal complexes, most of which have been destroyed by urban development and the ravages of time. These canals were large undertakings suggesting an organized, chiefdom society and sedentary populations. Two of these complexes, Mud Lake and Snake Bight canals, are located on Cape Sable in South Florida. These canals remain fairly intact and are observable in the field and on high resolution aerial photographs. Digital image enhancement and traditional ground truthing methods add valuable information to the study of Cape Sable's canals. Field work was completed with permission from Everglades National Park, study number EVER-00035, permit number EVER-2001-SCI-0035. Carbon-14 dates indicate that both of the canals were constructed at approximately the same time, during the Glades II and III periods, making the Cape Sable canals contemporaneous with Florida's other aboriginal canals. Information about these enigmatic features aids archaeologists in the quest to understand Florida's earliest inhabitants.

Show moreA land use classification system was designed for use with aerial photography in order to map four functional categories of land use in a study area divided into four quadrants. The data were analyzed for their spatial and functional relatedness to the operations of the Port of Baltimore. Where waterfront transshipment land use was dedicated to steel manufacturing and petroleum storage, nearly all test-category land use was located within two kilometers of the harbor in those quadrants. In quadrants where it was engaged in the throughshipment of bulk, containerized, and general cargo, test-category land use still occurred primarily within two kilometers of the harbor, but was also distributed in large numbers six kilometers inland of the harbor. The results support the theory that the test-category land use is related to port activity, and that changes in land use patterns are associated with changes in port activity.

This thesis is based on the interpretation, delineation, and analysis of coastal geomorphological features, as mapped from large-scale (e.g. 1:3600), digital, georeferenced, stereo-paired, color, aerial photography. The morphologic features identified include coral-algae reef tracts, rock reefs, sedimentary features such as bars, troughs, and sandflats, and different types of engineering works. Interrelationships between these morphologic features are analyzed using a remote sensing-GIS/MIS (Geographic and Marine Information Systems) framework, and applying interpretive approaches in the analysis of beach and nearshore morphodynamics. Sediment and wave data is used to calculate the dimensionless fall velocity (O), which combined with local geomorphology, defines beach types. Special purpose geomorphological and morphodynamic maps generated here, together with assessment of beach types and analysis of downdrift erosion provides new insights and deep understanding of large scale coastal behavior, which is of great use to management planning strategies.

Show moreThe objective of this dissertation is to develop effective algorithms for estimating the 3-D structure of a scene and its relative motion with respect to a camera or a pair of cameras from a sequence of images acquired by the cameras, under the assumption that the relative motion of the camera is small from one frame to another. This dissertation presents an approach of computing depth maps from an image sequence, which combines the direct depth estimation method with the optical flow based method. More specifically, optical flow on and near moving edges are computed using a correlation technique. The optical flow information is then fused with the gradient information to estimate depth not only on moving edges but also in internal regions. Depth estimation is formulated as a discrete Kalman filter problem and is solved in three stages. In the prediction stage, the depth map estimated for the previous frame, together with knowledge of the camera motion, is used to predict the depth variance at each pixel in the current frame. In the estimation stage, a vector-version of Kalman filter formulation is adapted and simplified to refine the predicted depth map. The resulting estimation algorithm takes into account the information from the neighboring pixels, and thus is much more robust than the scalar-version Kalman filter implementation. In the smoothing stage, morphological filtering is applied to reduce the effect of measurement noise and fill in uncertain areas based on the error covariance information. Since the depth at each pixel is estimated locally, the algorithm presented in this paper can be implemented on a parallel computer. The performance of the presented method is assessed through simulation and experimental studies. A new approach for motion estimation from stereo image sequences is also proposed in this dissertation. First a stereo motion estimation model is derived using the direct dynamic motion estimation technique. The problem is then solved by applying a discrete Kalman filter that facilitates the use of a long stereo image sequence. Typically, major issues in such an estimation method are stereo matching, temporal matching, and noise sensitivity. In the proposed approach, owing to the use of temporal derivatives in the motion estimation model, temporal matching is not needed. The effort for stereo matching is kept to a minimum with a parallel binocular configuration. Noise smoothing is achieved by the use of a sufficiently large number of measurement points and a long sequence of stereo images. Both simulation and experimental studies have also been conducted to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Show morePostmemory is an interpretive theory that describes the relationship between the children of Holocaust survivors (Second-generation witnesses) and the trauma suffered by their parents. This thesis extends postmemory in two ways: first, postmemory is extended to include refugees who escaped the Holocaust. Thus, refugee families are situated in the three familial paradigms of Holocaust memory. Second, postmemory is extended to Third-generation witnesses (grandchildren of Holocaust survivors and refugees). Manifestations and representations of postmemory in Third-generation refugee families is demonstrated by authorial narration of photographs in third-generation refugee writer Erika Dreifus's short story collection Quiet Americans.
