Our thesis deals with automatic recognition and identification of bird individuals. The first goal of the thesis is the design and evaluation of new methods and algorithms for automatic bird individual identification using live recordings, without their pre-processing. An automated system us...

Blood flow is important for understanding the processes inside parenchymatous organs. The main goal of this thesis is the creation of geometric models of these organs and their blood-vessel structure with respect to the modeling of blood flow. We introduce a method for parenchyma&#...

With the rapid development of the computer technology the ever increasing amount of information is stored in the form of multimedia databases, widely available through the Internet. Browsing such a large database manually is not possible, therefore a rapid development in the area o...

Computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems are widely used in technical and me\-di\-cal fields. Using the CAD systems in medicine allows the application of image processing methods as well as the methods of artificial intelligence. The purpose of the systems is to assists doctors....

The thesis deals with kinematic optimization of robotic architectures which forms a crucial role in synthesis, especially for nonstandard kinematic architectures of manipulators for special applications. The basic aspects and requirements for structural and parametric optimization are presented. The&...

This thesis deals with assessment and monitoring of simple PID loop control quality. The goal was to develop reliable and effective algorithms for complex solution of selected problem in process control industry. Achieved theoretical results are described in three chapters dedicated to ...

The thesis is focused on the control of multi-input single-output systems, where the inputs are binary and are switched using sliding mode based algorithm. There are demonstrated problems in such control design, mainly effective usage and synchronization of the inputs. The main goal...

The main topic of the thesis is a problem of motion control of electromechanical systems with oscillatory dynamics caused by a mechanical compliance of the driven load. The goal is to develop effective and reliable algorithms for automatic system identification and robust controller...

This thesis addresses the optimization of the unit selection process in a concatenation synthesis and it mainly focuses on speeding-up the search for the optimal speech segments sequence. The key problem of this task is the need to find the minimal cost path through the&...

This thesis provides a basic knowledge of motion control theory of mechatronic systems. It deals with the second level of motion planning, i.e. generating the motion control trajectories. It proposes a new approaches for trajectory generation in single axis, based on the methods of...

This doctoral thesis aims at research in the field of the neural networks adaptation and in the field of speaker adaptive training, with special attention to the application of both in the field of automatic speech recognition. Both these technologies, i.e. the adaptation and ...

This thesis aims at research into the static natural language models, especially the language models build on word classes. Such language models are (widely, commonly) used in automatic speech recognition systems. This work doesn't aim at general research into improving the aforementione...

This thesis presents a complete end-to-end system for the Semantic Web search using a Natural Language. The system is placed into the context of recent research in Information Retreival, Semantic Web, Natural Language Understanding, and Natural Language Interfaces. The key feature of Na...

While evaluating ERP experiments, it is essential to determine the amplitude and latency of ERP components. Time-frequency domain methods, such as the wavelet transform, short-time discrete Fourier transform, matching pursuit, are usually used for this task, because the EEG signal is quasi-s...

Because of difficulties with neuroinformatics data/metadata storage, a new research field dealing with the development of neuroinformatics databases is gradually formed. The data within these databases are supposed to be recognizable by interested researchers. To support the development of these&...

The presented thesis is devoted to the spoken language understanding task. The thesis presents a new discriminative model for this task. First, the spoken language understanding is described in the context of spoken dialog systems and in relation to an automatic speech recognition. ...

Power engineering as a technical scientific discipline still attracts due to the constantly increasing demands on electricity supply and reliability of its supply a significant attention. To ensure the required quality it is provided both in the monitoring and in the control system ...

Facial expressions are a vital part of human communication. Automatic facial expression recognition is essential while designing system for human computer interaction. Existing systems for expression recognition works in controlled environment. Subject is asked to perform an expression while his ...

Currently, particularly for safety and economic reasons, more emphasis is continually placed on the reliable operation of steam turbines. One example is the reduction of sealing clearances which increases the risk of potential contact (rub) of the rotor and stator of the machine. T...

The automatic sign language recognition is a broad problem. It has been addressed by researchers with different backgrounds. Depending on the point of view the problem can be decomposed into several areas of research: signal processing, computer vision, human computer interaction, system...
