Oil spill events can be catastrophically harmful to coastal ecosystems, causing considerable and long-term environmental and economic impacts before associated consequences are finally eliminated. Conducting timely, flexible, and accurate surveys immediately after a spill incide…
This study proposes a method to utilize remotely sensed pre- and post-disaster imagery data in order to detect the change specifically associated with structural and major regional damage caused by natural disasters such as a strong earthquake. The input is a pair of coregistere…
This thesis investigates decision-making in two-player imperfect information games against opponents whose actions can affect our rewards, and whose strategies may be based on memories of interaction, or may be changing, or both. The focus is on modelling these dynamic opponents…
The problem of detecting changes in images taken by a stationary camera has been well studied and many algorithms now exist which perform robustly in real-world applications. However no comprehensive solution exists for the analogous "3-d" change detection problem, where the cam…
