Attitude estimation and localisation from low-cost inertial sensors
Creators: name: Brotchie, James
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 401303
subject: Navigation and position fixing

description: This work focuses on the development and evaluation of novel algorithms for attitude estimation and localisation. The aim of this research is to address the current limitations and challenges in these domains, and to propose new algorithms that offer improved accuracy, robustness, and efficiency. The proposed algorithms are based on advanced mathematical models, machine learning techniques, and sensor fusion strategies, using measurements from Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, particularly the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). IMUs are increasingly prevalent in low-cost devices such as smartphones, opening up the possibility for new applications and sensor fusion algorithms. The thesis examines existing deterministic methodologies and proposes new theoretical and practically validated estimation algorithms, with a particular emphasis on inertial localisation and attitude estimation. An in depth review of the problem and the most influential algorithms to this research are given initially as a foundation for the proposed novel methods. The proposed algorithms are compared with existing state-of-the-art using real-world data sets, demonstrating their superior performance in terms of accuracy, reliability and computational efficiency. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are evaluated in the context of real-world applications, including indoor navigation and smartphone attitude estimation, showcasing their effectiveness in addressing the challenges posed by the limitations of MEMS technology. The research presented in this thesis has the potential to significantly enhance the performance and applicability of IMU-based systems, paving the way for new and exciting developments in the fields of navigation, robotics, and human-computer interaction.
Slow practice - (re)drawing time. Balancing narratives, ghosts and tensions

description: Slow Practice - (re)drawing time.
Balancing narratives, ghosts and tensions.

This PhD is an investigation into, and an interrogation of my practice through the work of Boyarsky Murphy Architects. It explores the ephemeral and unseen aspects that influence and impact our built environment: Ghosts, Narratives, Tensions and aspects of Time.

It does this through [re]drawing & reflecting on key projects. Drawings are the instigators, the place of discussion and explorative devices for examining the processes by which I design and think about space. They form a place for evaluation which I call Slow Practice, where histories and previous occupations of a site, together with existing and inserted materialities, expectations, limitations and imagination have had the time to come to the fore and mingle. This PhD claims this slow space and explores it.

This PhD has explored the uses to which drawings are put within my practice. Besides being instructional devices and directions for the actual making of architecture by others, they are used for thinking about architecture, explaining processes and suggesting alternative approaches and scenarios. This exploration has led to new forms of drawing which includes assemblage, collections, collage and maquettes.

The research is divided into distinct and interdependent parts: drawings, texts and artefacts. All have a physical presence and their own particular format.

The texts further explore the themes Narratives, Ghosts, Tensions and Time. The Community of Practice text is an exploration of the mental space that surrounds the work and within which it is conducted, and the context of London, the Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA), and the groups of architects or “drawers” with whom I feel an affinity.

My dissertation a collaged narrative of practice using drawings, helped occasionally by fragments, models and booklets to unpack my narratives about practice.

This study has been an opportunity to reflect on the control that I have over the medium of the design process, which Leon van Schaik has called “mastery”. The methodology of the research has revealed not only undocumented design practice processes such as the particular way of looking at, gleaning, and recording the information from a site, but also the overlooked, forgotten and concealed aspects of buildings, building processes and the project outcomes.

Evoking the invisible lesbian through creative practice
Creators: name: TURNBULL, Lesley
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360604
subject: Photography, video and lens-based practice

description: The Invisible Lesbian Evoked Through Creative Practice investigates how marginalisation has shaped a personal narrative and a lived life. The project deploys photo-based praxis, performance, creative writing, and sculpture to examine the complexities of my journey from being a “teenage tomboy” to an adult lesbian in working class Edinburgh during the 1980s. It explores personal and historical intersections through the articulation of a shifting identity towards awareness of gender identity and sexuality. The artistic research is informed by my lived experiences and autoethnographic methodologies, underpinned by feminist, lesbian and queer creative practices (as well as others) and theories including Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology. The research seeks to contribute to the visibility of lesbian and queer lived experiences in contemporary art practice.

Balance reactions to light touch displacements when standing on foam.
Creators: Misiaszek, John E.; Vander Meulen; Jesse
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2016

We hypothesized that standing on an unstable surface would increase the relevance of light touch to standing balance, such that unexpected displacement of a touch reference would result in more consistent expression of balance corrections, compared to standing on a firm surface. Ten healthy participants stood on a foam block atop a force plate without vision, while lightly touching a reference. The touch plate was unexpectedly displaced forwards 10 times. Responses in tibialis anterior (TA) were observed more frequently across the 10 trials compared with standing on a firm surface. However, the responses evoked in trials 2-10 were functionally distinct from those following the first trial. We suggest the first trial responses represent balance corrective responses induced by the slip of the finger relative to the reference. In contrast, the subsequent responses in TA are likely related to an arm-tracking reaction that emerges, indicating a rapid repurposing of the tactile feedback.

description: In Stahlblech‐Holz‐Verbindungen mit Holzbauteilen hoher Rohdichte, z.B. mit Laubhölzern, kann bei Beanspruchung auf Abscheren ein vollständiges Versagen der Verbindungsmittel auftreten. Dieses Versagen wird bisher in den Bemessungsregeln des Eurocode 5 nicht berücksichtigt; dort werden nur die Biegebeanspruchung der Stifte und die Zugbeanspruchung aus dem Seileffekt mit ihren jeweiligen Widerstandswerten nachgewiesen. In diesem Beitrag wird ein analytisches Modell hergeleitet, in dem die gleichzeitige Beanspruchung der stiftförmigen Verbindungsmittel durch Biegemomente, Zugnormalkräfte und Querkräfte und ihr Einfluss auf die Tragfähigkeit der Verbindung berücksichtigt werden. Es zeigt sich, dass die Moment‐Normalkraft‐Querkraft Interaktion (MNV‐Interaktion) insbesondere für größere Verhältniswerte aus Lochleibungsfestigkeit des Holzes und Zugfestigkeit der Verbindungsmittel zu einer Überschätzung der Tragfähigkeit von 5% bis 40% von Verbindungen führen kann, die nach Eurocode 5 bemessen wurden.

subject: Fine arts

description: The Grid Reimagined is a practice-based research project. The practice-based research is contextualised in this dissertation through the fields of art history, urban planning, architecture, urban history, human geography, philosophy and digital technology. This research explored the constructed environments of the city in both the process of making the artworks and in the objects themselves. Through a series of experiments, the research revealed four states of the city grid and interpreted these as jewellery and small objects. These states of the grid are: rigid and incising, protecting and containing, mutable and changeable, and dissolving and disintegrating. The trajectory of the research followed these forms as they were found in the city grid, and re-created and imagined them as jewellery objects. The research travelled from rigid orthogonal forms that control landscapes to fluid forms that conform to the human body, while all the time maintaining the underlying structure of the grid. The means of making, computer-aided design and 3D printing, themselves grid-based; remained constant as I explored the limits of materials and technology. My research reveals the relationship between artist, wearer, material, and object as adaptable and mutable. A parallel interrogation of the controlled logic of the urban grid and the organic nature of human interaction was thread through the research. Commencing with an examination of the city grid as an organising and framing device, shaping human activity, I proceeded to explore ways in which human activity shapes the grid. In isolating and downsizing the forms of the city grid, I produced work of a human and wearable scale. Through duplicating, layering and distorting forms of the grid, the objects are abstracted from their origin, allowing an organic interaction with the wearer, while a trace of the source, that is, the rigid grid, remains as a gesture to its origins. The creative outcomes of my research reveal connections between the city and the digital grid. This jewellery contributes to contemporary debates relating to the role of digital technologies in making, and the relationship between the maker and the machine. I conclude that it is only through letting go of any sense of separateness from the technology that the complexity of these relationships could be revealed.

Development of Chinese medicine headache questionnaire for tension-type headache
Creators: name: Hao, Xinyu
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: AIMS: The aims of this thesis project were to use evidence-based approaches to develop and validate the Chinese Medicine Headache Questionnaire (CMHQ) for Tension-type headache (TTH); and to explore Chinese medicine (CM) patterns of TTH and understand TTH associated signs and symptoms by administering CMHQ to the clinical population.

METHODS and RESULTS: The methodology and key findings are outlined below:

1). A systematic review of acupuncture for TTH The systematic review followed the methods in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Meta-analysis and subgroup analysis were employed. The review identified that electro-acupuncture stimulation, longer needle retention and twice a week treatment, were the three key factors associated with better outcomes.

2). Development and validation of the Chinese Medicine Headache Questionnaire (CMHQ) The CMHQ was developed and validated over three phases. In Phases One, literature search, face-to-face interviews of patients (n=20) and expert consultations were undertaken for item generation (CMHQ-1). In Phase Two, a pilot study (n=87) was conducted to determine the face validity and content validity of CMHQ (CMHQ-2). In Phase Three, an international, multi-site investigation (n=171) was conducted. The revised CMHQ (CMHQ-3) was found to have excellent face validity, considerable content validity, high internal consistency validity, high test-retest reliability and adequate construct validity.

3).Identification of TTH patterns using explorative statistical analytic methods Headache features and non-headache symptoms and signs were identified using the validated CMHQ. Four clusters were identified. Three were relevant to CM patterns, and were diagnosed as Ascendant hyperactivity of Liver-Yang (Cluster 1), Dual deficiency of Qi and Blood (Cluster 2), and Liver depression forming Fire (Cluster 3). The remaining one was nonspecific (Cluster 4) due to its insufficient symptoms and signs.

4). Exploration of correlations between CM patterns and other instruments The four clusters not only differed in clinical presentation, but also in headache frequency, level of disability and stress. Among them, Cluster 1 had a moderate headache intensity and disability, and performed best in Perceived Coping sub-item of the Self-Perceived Stress Scale among the four clusters. Cluster 2 had the most severe headache and highest level of disability, whereas Cluster 4 had the mildest headache, moderate disability and was free from mental comorbidity.

CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study expand the current understanding of the signs and symptoms of TTH. The questionnaire can be used in combination with the ICHD-II’s TTH subtype classification to enhance research design of the future studies. Scientific methods employed in this project will guide evidence-based future development of the questionnaire.

description: With the rise of participatory culture and Web 2.0, what constitutes gaming and its attendant forms of skill has dramatically expanded. Participatory media heralds new forms of engagement inside and outside the space of gameplay. This phenomenon also proclaims new tensions around what constitutes professional and amateur skills. This is further enriched by the burgeoning of the online with ancillary texts adding to players experience, knowledge and expectation of the game. In game studies, multi-player games have gained much attention for their social and commercial dimensions, especially around the rise (and fall) of E-Sports and professionalisation of gaming as part of broader shifts in commodifying leisure and lifestyle.

In these shifts focusing upon the increasingly social aspects of gaming, single-player games have been relatively overlooked. No longer an isolated practice, single-player games have become progressively more social and collaborative. As such, there is a need to examine the ways in which single-players also redefine mastery and skill as part of a dynamic practice that involves negotiation between game and ancillary texts and experiences.

This thesis addresses the transformative role of the paratext (Genette, 1987) within the wider cultures of gaming. Through the discussion of changing notions of mastery as part of the sociality and creativity within games, this thesis attempts to understand how the contemporary form of paratexts shapes skill, social, creative and labour dimensions of single-player games today. In sum, how paratexts contribute to a gaming knowledge or “gaming capital”.

description:
This research study investigated the impact of a two-year Foundation program on children’s social, emotional and academic readiness and their achievements at Sunny Bank Primary School (SBPS) in Melbourne’s northern suburbs in the City of Whittlesea. The study followed one cohort of children who commenced in the Early Years Readiness Program (EYRP) at SBPS in 2012 through to their completion of Year 1 in 2014. The participants in this study were the teachers, children and their parents in the EYRP at SBPS. The academic results in the form of AusVELS scores and end of year reports of the EYRP children were compared with those of their peers who were in the “normal Foundation” groups in 2012 and 2013, and their Grade 1 peers in 2014. The questions which guided this research were: Does the Early Years Readiness Program (EYRP) help the children to be more ready to learn? If so how? Does the Early Years Readiness Program (EYRP) help the children to strengthen their academic ability? If so how? Is there any difference between AusVELS results at the end of Year One for the children who participated in the EYRP and their peers who entered through the normal Foundation group?

 In order to respond to these questions, data were collected about the social, emotional and academic readiness and progress of the children who were participants in the study. The parents and teachers who participated in this research provided information about their responses to the program and its impact on the children through face to face interviews and focus groups. In addition, a range of documents were analysed to find out more about the impact of this program on children’s achievements. The results of this study indicated that, in spite of different weaknesses that EYRP children had in their social, emotional and academic readiness for starting school, this program has benefited the children, and helped them to improve and build their confidence, maturity and abilities in different areas such as social, emotional and academic skills, and their preparedness for the normal years of schooling.

Ensuring blood is available when it is needed most

description: The provision of blood to patients in need is an imperative faced by all countries.  Red blood cells (RBCs) are perishable with a life of 42 days.  Inventory managers at hospitals need to know how many RBCs to order so that the probability of experiencing shortages or outdates is minimised.  This is complicated by demand for RBCs being doubly stochastic.  Both the number of patients that need RBCs and quantity of RBCs they will need are random.  For centralised blood banks not only are the orders they receive from hospitals apparently random, the supply of blood is also random.

This thesis shows that, in addition to the previously mentioned sources of volatility, the structure of the supply chain induces further volatility.  This occurs due to the presence of delivery delays and negative feedback loops in two locations within the supply chain.  It is shown how this volatility can be addressed with some simple structural changes.  But simply removing system induced volatility does not imply that the supply chain is optimised.  To address optimality the problem is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP).  A solution to this process uses Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP), but this results in a combinatoric explosion making the computation of an exact solution within a reasonable time impossible.  Instead, Stochastic Average Approximation (SAA) is used to derive an approximate solution.  Repeated, sequential application of this is an exercise in Discrete Time Stochastic Control.  A working control solution is provided in python.  This solution can be arranged so as to mimic the two echelon supply chain found in blood inventories.  It is general enough to apply to any discrete perishable inventory system with random demand and/or supply.

The approach for blood inventories requires credible estimates of demand for RBCs.  It is shown, using hierarchical Bayesian modelling and Discrete Phase-Type (DPH) distributions, that credible estimates of demand at hospitals of any size can be derived from publicly available information.  In particular a new method for obtaining the parameters of a DPH distribution is formulated and applied to estimating transfusion quantities from publicly available sources.

An application of the proposed solution is presented for RBC inventories at both hospitals and at the blood bank.  For the blood bank in particular it is shown how this can be used to determine the quantity of donors needed to meet demand within a desired probability of adequacy.

description: Sensor management in multi-target tracking is commonly focused on actively scheduling and managing sensor resources to maximize the visibility of states of a set of maneuvering targets in a surveillance area. This project focuses on two types of sensor management techniques:

 - controlling a set of mobile sensors (sensor control), and
 - scheduling the resources of a sensor network (sensor selection).​

In both cases, agile sensors are employed to track an unknown number of targets.

We advocate a Random Finite Set (RFS)-based approach for formulation of a sensor control/selection technique for multi-target tracking problem. Sensor control/scheduling offers a multi-target state estimate that is expected to be substantially more accurate than the classical tracking methods without sensor management. Searching for optimal sensor state or command in the relevant space is carried out by a decision-making mechanism based on maximizing the utility of receiving measurements.​

In current solutions of sensor management problem, the information of the clutter rate and uncertainty in sensor Field of View (FoV) are assumed to be known in priori. However, accurate measures of these parameters are usually not available in practical situations. This project presents a new sensor management solution that is designed to work within a RFS-based multi-target tracking framework. Our solution does not require any prior knowledge of the clutter distribution nor the probability of detection profile to achieve similar accuracy.

Also, we present a new sensor management method for multi-object filtering via maximizing the state estimation confidence. Confidence of an estimation is quantified by measuring the dispersion of the multi-object posterior about its statistical mean using Optimal Sub-Pattern Assignment (OSPA). The proposed method is generic and the presented algorithm can be used with any statistical filter.
