Simulating ice processes using the finite element, unstructured, adaptive model fluidity
Creators: name: Mouradian, Simon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The cryosphere impacts global climate in various ways. Snow and ice have a higher albedo than land or the open ocean and therefore affect the total reflectivity of the earth. Sea ice forms an insulating layer over the polar oceans controlling both heat and water vapour fluxes between the atmosphere and polar ocean. Ice sheets hold around 77% of Earth's freshwater reserves, and recent increases in ice loss from the Earth's ice sheets are cause for concern. This thesis develops numerical tools that can be used for the study of various ice processes such as ocean -- sea ice interaction, ice sheet and glacier dynamics. A coupled ocean - sea ice model is developed, using the open source, unstructured, adaptive ocean model Fluidity and a finite element sea ice model developed at the Alfred Wegener Institute of Polar and Marine Research, FESIM. The tightly coupled model is verified and validated through a series of tests, demonstrating its dynamical capabilities. The sea ice dynamics are a model of Elastic-Viscous-Plastic rheology, as described in Hunke and Dukowicz. The thermodynamic parameterisation is similar to the 1D simplest model of Parkinson and Washington which is based on the zero-layer approach of Semtner. Furthermore, a new computational framework for carrying out ice sheet simulations is presented. A thermo-mechanical, non-linear, full-Stokes model is used to carry out the exercises of the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for higher--order models (ISMIP--HOM). The results presented here show that Fluidity compares favourably with other ice sheet models. Further tests are performed to demonstrate the use of dynamic adaptive remeshing in lowering the computational cost of models compared to their structured, fixed-mesh counterparts, by focusing resolution only where and when required. Finally, initial simulations of the full Greenland ice sheet are performed demonstrating the potential utility of adaptive meshes for large-scale, full-Stokes modelling.

description: We present the results of an intermediate-resolution (1.5Å) spectroscopic study of 17 X-ray luminous narrow emission-line galaxies previously identified in the Cambridge-Cambridge {\it ROSAT} Serendipity Survey and the {\it Einstein} Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey. Emission-line ratios reveal that the sample is composed of ten Seyfert and seven starburst galaxies. Measured linewidths for the narrow H$α$ emission lines lie in the range $170-460\,$km$\,$s$^{-1}$. Five of the objects show clear evidence for asymmetry in the [OIII]$λ$5007 emission-line profile. Broad H$α$ emission is detected in six of the Seyfert galaxies, which range in type from Seyfert 1.5 to 2. Broad H$β$ emission is only detected in one Seyfert galaxy. The mean full width at half maximum for the broad lines in the Seyfert galaxies is ${\rm FWHM = 3900\pm 1750\,km\,s^{-1}}$. Broad (${\rm FWHM = 2200\pm 600\,km\,s^{-1}}$) $Hα$ emission is also detected in three of the starburst galaxies, which could originate from stellar winds or supernovae remnants. The mean Balmer decrement for the sample is H$α$/H$β=3$, consistent with little or no reddening for the bulk of the sample. There is no evidence for any trend with X-ray luminosity in the ratio of starburst galaxies to Seyfert galaxies. Based on our previous observations, it is therefore likely that both classes of object comprise $\sim 10\,$per cent of the $2\,$keV X-ray background.

Search for vector-like T and B quark pairs in final states with leptons at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A search is presented for pair production of heavy vector-like T and B quarks in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016. Pair production of T quarks would result in a wide range of final states, since vector-like T quarks of charge 2$e$/3 are predicted to decay to bW, tZ, and tH. Likewise, vector-like B quarks are predicted to decay to tW, bZ, and bH. Three channels are considered, corresponding to final states with a single lepton, two leptons with the same sign of the electric charge, or at least three leptons. The results exclude T quarks with masses below 1140-1300 GeV and B quarks with masses below 910-1240 GeV for various branching fraction combinations, extending the reach of previous CMS searches by 200-600 GeV.

description: We report the discovery of phase shifts between X-ray pulses at different energies in the newly discovered millisecond (ms) X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658. The results show that low-energy pulses lag high-energy pulses by as much as $\sim$0.2 ms (or $\sim$8% of the pulse period). The measurements were made in two different ways: (1) computing cross power spectra between different energy bands, and (2) cross-correlating the folded pulse profiles in different energy bands; consistent results were obtained. We speculate that the observed soft lags might be related to the lateral expansion and subsequent cooling of a ``hot spot'' on the neutron star surface in which the pulsed X-ray emission originates. Also presented is the possibility of producing soft lags via Compton down scattering of hard X-ray photons from the hot spot in the cool surrounding atmosphere. We will discuss possible X-ray production mechanisms for SAX J1808.4-3658 and constraints on the emission environment, based on the observed soft lags, pulse profiles, and energy spectrum.

Structural and functional studies of the Als1 adhesin from candida albicans
Creators: name: Hale, Lisa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans, a harmless commensal in approximately 60% of healthy adults, is also an opportunistic pathogen in humans. Immuno-compromised individuals are mainly at risk, for example those under immunosuppressive therapies, HIV/AIDS patients, the elderly and early neonates. Diseases caused include invasive candidiasis, which has a 40-60% mortality rate. The majority of invasive candidiasis is caused by C. albicans forming biofilms on medical devices (e.g. catheters, heart valves) from which yeast cells disperse and enter the blood stream. The adherence properties of C. albicans are crucial for colonisation and biofilm formation. An important adhesive factor in the early stages of colonisation is Als1 (Agglutinin-like Sequence protein 1). Another crucial virulence factor is hyphal-expressed Als3, which contributes to adhesion and invasion of host cells. These proteins belong to the Als family of glycoproteins (Als1-7 and Als9), all of which share similar domain organisation: an N-terminal adhesion region comprised of two immunoglobulin-like domains, plus central and C-terminal regions, which are highly glycosylated. Previously, the N-terminus of Als9 had been shown to bind the flexible C-termini of host cell proteins as ligands. Due to their relevance in C. albicans adhesion, the N-terminal domains of Als1 and Als3 are ideal templates for ligand binding studies and the development of antifungal compounds. Shortened constructs Als1 and Als3 with improved solubility and structural properties (relative to the full length adhesins) were employed in this project. Here I describe the X-ray crystallographic structure of sNT-Als1 with a peptide ligand, the backbone resonance assignments by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) of the ligand-free protein and ligand-binding experiments using Differential Scanning Fluorimetry (DSF). Comparison of the structure and ligand binding behavior of sNT-Als1 with other Als proteins will guide the design of therapeutic molecules that block the adhesive properties of these adhesins, and thus the formation of disease-causing biofilms by C. albicans.

description: We consider gravitational wave production during inflation in type IIB string theory, and the possibility of observable gravitational waves in small field inflation. We show that the gauge field excitations on a set of coincident D7 branes, itself critical for moduli stabilization and hence intrinsic to inflation in string theory, coupled with axion fields from bulk fluxes, can act as a spectator sector during inflation. This results in a large production of chiral gravitational waves, even for relatively small values of the axion-gauge field coupling. We extend this to include a monodromy for the axion, and demonstrate that in both cases an observable level of gravitational waves is produced in small field inflation in string theory, with a spectrum that is maximally chiral. Finally, we demonstrate the consistency with moduli stabilization and with arbitrary (large or small field) inflationary dynamics of the host model, considering as an explicit example Kahler Moduli Inflation.

Measurement of jet fragmentation in Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: This paper presents a measurement of jet fragmentation functions in 0.49 nb$^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb collisions and 25 pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV collected in 2015 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. These measurements provide insight into the jet quenching process in the quark-gluon plasma created in the aftermath of ultra-relativistic collisions between two nuclei. The modifications to the jet fragmentation functions are quantified by dividing the measurements in Pb+Pb collisions by baseline measurements in $pp$ collisions. This ratio is studied as a function of the transverse momentum of the jet, the jet rapidity, and the centrality of the collision. In both collision systems, the jet fragmentation functions are measured for jets with transverse momentum between 126 GeV and 398 GeV and with an absolute value of jet rapidity less than 2.1. An enhancement of particles carrying a small fraction of the jet momentum is observed, which increases with centrality and with increasing jet transverse momentum. Yields of particles carrying a very large fraction of the jet momentum are also observed to be enhanced. Between these two enhancements of the fragmentation functions a suppression of particles carrying an intermediate fraction of the jet momentum is observed in Pb+Pb collisions. A small dependence of the modifications on jet rapidity is observed.

description: (compressed version) We combine the CfA Redshift Survey (CfA2) and the Southern Sky Redshift Survey (SSRS2) to estimate the pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies $\sig12$ on a scale of $\sim 1 \hmpc$. Both surveys are complete to an apparent magnitude limit $B(0)=15.5$. Our sample includes 12,812 galaxies distributed in a volume $1.8 \times 10^6 \hmpc3$. We conclude: 1) The pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies in the combined CfA2+SSRS2 redshift survey is $\sig12=540 \kms \pm 180 \kms$. Both the estimate and the variance of $\sig12$ significantly exceed the canonical values $\sig12=340 \pm40$ measured by Davis \& Peebles (1983) using CfA1. 2) We derive the uncertainty in $\sig12$ from the variation among subsamples with volumes on the order of $7 \times 10^5$ \hmpc3. This variation is nearly an order of magnitude larger than the formal error, 36 $\kms$, derived using least-squares fits to the CfA2+SSRS2 correlation function. This variation among samples is consistent with the conclusions of Mo \etal (1993) for a number of smaller surveys and with the analysis of CfA1 by Zurek \etal (1994). 3) When we remove Abell clusters with $R\ge1$ from our sample, the pairwise velocity dispersion of the remaining galaxies drops to $295 \pm 99 \kms$. Thus the dominant source of variance in $\sig12$ is the shot noise contributed by dense virialized systems. 4) The distribution of pairwise velocities is consistent with an isotropic exponential with velocity dispersion independent of scale.

Nitrogen Abundances in Damped Ly alpha Galaxies

description: Nitrogen abundances have been derived in Damped Ly alpha (DLA) galaxies at Zabs = 2.309, 2.827 and 3.025 toward the QSOs 0100+1300, 1425+6039 and 0347-3819 respectively. The behaviour of nitrogen relative to iron-peak and alpha-elements has been investigated by considering all the extant NI determinations for a total of 9 DLA galaxies. We have estimated the fraction of iron locked into dust grains to convert the observed [N/Fe] ratios into overall (dust plus gas) relative abundances, [N/Fe]corr. The ratios [N/alpha] have been mostly determined by using sulphur as a tracer of alpha-elements which is unaffected by dust. The [N/Fe] and [N/alpha] ratios show high dispersions, of one order of magnitude or more, which have no equivalent in other element-to-element ratios in DLAs. The lowest values of the [N/Fe]corr and [N/alpha] ratios are at variance with the values measured in Galactic halo stars of similar metallicity suggesting that part of the DLA galaxies do not follow the chemical evolution of the Milky Way. The DLA nitrogen abundances and their dispersion show some similarities with those observed in dwarf galaxies. The behaviour of nitrogen abundance ratios can be ascribed, in general to the delayed release of nitrogen in the course of evolution. However it is difficult to conciliate this interpretation with the lowest [N/alpha] values measured, since an expected enhancement of alpha-elements respect to the iron-peak elements is not observed simultaneously in these DLA galaxies. In two cases, relatively high [N/alpha] values are observed which require also a more complex chemical evolution to be explained.

description: In recent years, there has been increasing interest in hydrogels as a platform for patient-specific treatments such as drug release. Possessing a variety of highly tunable mechanical and biocompatible properties, hydrogels can be synthesized using natural or synthetic materials to recapitulate the native biological environment. Drug release and cell encapsulation, among others are just some of the qualities that can be imparted into hydrogels. We have developed a composite hydrogel, termed an acoustically responsive scaffold (ARS), that enables spatiotemporally controlled drug delivery using focused ultrasound. An ARS consists of a phase-shift emulsion (PSE) embedded within a hydrogel matrix. Upon exposure to ultrasound, the emulsion undergoes acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV), thereby releasing payloads initially encapsulated within the emulsion. Similar to conventional hydrogels, ARSs have previously been polymerized using bulk polymerization techniques. There are inherent limitations with this approach. First, the form factor of the ARS is dictated by the shape of the container that holds the solution during crosslinking. Second, the ability to generate complex patterns of emulsions within an ARS is very limited.

description: We present BAM: a novel Bias Assignment Method envisaged to generate mock catalogs. Combining the statistics of dark matter tracers from a high resolution cosmological $N$-body simulation and the dark matter density field calculated from down-sampled initial conditions using efficient structure formation solvers, we extract the halo-bias relation on a mesh of a $3\,h^{-1}$ Mpc cell side resolution as a function of properties of the dark matter density field (e.g. local density, cosmic web type), automatically including stochastic, deterministic, local and non-local components. We use this information to sample the halo density field, accounting for ignored dependencies through an iterative process. By construction, our approach reaches $\sim 1\%$ accuracy in the majority of the $k$-range up to the Nyquist frequency without systematic deviations for power spectra (about $k \sim 1\, h$ Mpc$^{-1}$) using either particle mesh or Lagrangian perturbation theory based solvers. When using phase-space mapping to compensate the low resolution of the approximate gravity solvers, our method reproduces the bispectra of the reference within $10\%$ precision studying configurations tracing the quasi-nonlinear regime. BAM has the potential to become a standard technique to produce mock halo and galaxy catalogs for future galaxy surveys and cosmological studies being highly accurate, efficient and parameter free.

description: Contrary to a previously published claim it is found that the spheroidal galaxies NGC 147 and NGC 185 probably form a stable binary system. Distance estimates place this pair on the near side of the Andromeda subgroup of the Local Group. The fact that this system has probably remained stable over a Hubble time suggests that it does not have a plunging orbit that brings it very close to M 31. It is noted that the only two Local Group galaxy pairs, in which the components have comparable masses, also have similar morphological types. NGC 147 and NGC 185 are both spheroidals, while the LMC and SMC are both irregulars. This suggests that protogalaxies of similar mass that are spawned in similar environments evolve into objects having similar morphologies.

description: DNA barcoding and metabarcoding is increasingly used to effectively and precisely assess and monitor biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. As these methods rely on data availability and quality of barcode reference libraries, it is important to develop and follow best practices to ensure optimal quality and traceability of the metadata associated with the reference barcodes used for identification. Sufficient metadata, as well as vouchers, corresponding to each reference barcode must be available to ensure reliable barcode library curation and, thereby, provide trustworthy baselines for downstream molecular species identification. This document (1) specifies the data and metadata required to ensure the relevance, the accessibility and traceability of DNA barcodes and (2) specifies the recommendations for DNA harvesting and for the storage of both voucher specimens/samples and barcode data.

description: Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in man and despite decades of effort, there is still no protective vaccine. Left untreated, genital infection can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility. However, infection-induced immunity in both animal models and humans indicates a strong role for CD4+ Th1-biased immune responses. Using a multi-component vaccine approach we assessed the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of novel plasmid DNA, Adenovirus 5 (HuAd5) and modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vectors each containing a major outer membrane protein (MOMP) transgene and recombinant MOMP protein in various heterologous prime-boost regimens in BALB/c and B6C3F1 mice. During the course of the prime-boost regimens, serum and vaginal MOMP-specific antibody titres, subtypes, avidities and neutralisation abilities were assessed, alongside IFN-γ ELISpot and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell polyfunctionality (IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2). Regimens were grouped on the distinct MOMP-specific immune environments they elicited, with these regimens taken through into C. trachomatis vaginal challenge studies in two mouse models to shed light on the relative contribution of each environment to protective immunity. The DNA-HuAd5-MVA-Protein (D.A.M.P.) vaccine regimen resulted in a significant reduction in C. trachomatis vaginal shedding at day 3 post-infection in both BALB/c and B6C3F1 mouse strains. This significant reduction was lost when D.A.M.P. vaccinated mice were depleted of their CD4+ T cells prior to challenge, indicating the protection is CD4+ T cell mediated. C. trachomatis EB serum neutralisation profiles were similar between protective and non-protective vaccine regimens and combined with passive transfer experiments into naïve C57BL/6 mice and IFN-γ knock-out C57BL/6 mice we concluded that the antibody response did not play a significant role in this vaccine-induced protection. As well as infecting the genital tract, Chlamydia trachomatis is also the causal agent of trachoma, the leading cause of infectious blindness in the world. Recently, Kari et al. revealed serum anti-MOMP antibodies correlated with the reduction in chlamydial ocular burden in non-human primates, while anti-PmpD and anti-Pgp3 serum antibodies correlated with chlamydial eradication. We therefore investigated if we could induce such anti-chlamydial antibodies on the murine eye through heterologous prime-boost vaccinations. We uncovered a vaccination regimen that induced significantly greater anti-MOMP ocular antibodies, and employed this regimen for the additional chlamydial antigens, of which all induced ocular antigen-specific IgG antibodies. This is the first investigation into such vaccination regimens to induce chlamydial specific ocular antibodies and provides a new model for the screening of future potential trachoma vaccines.
Use of X-ray Computed Microtomography to Measure the Leaching Behaviour of Metal Sulphide Ores

description: Heap leaching is an important hydrometallurgical method to extract valuable metals from ores, especially low grade ores. The main disadvantages of heap leaching are the long processing time and low extraction efficiencies. Currently, a major barrier in fully understanding the leaching process is the study of the mass transport and surface chemistry at individual ore particle and mineral grain scale. This thesis describes a combined experimental and modelling approach to visualise, quantify and predict the leach behaviour based on X-ray Computed Microtomography (XMT, or micro-CT). An automatic image processing package was developed to process the 3D volume data. Individual ore particles as well as individual mineral grains can be tracked using a centroid tracking algorithm and a novel fast tracking algorithm respectively. The systematic and random errors and uncertainties in the image volume measurements were quantified. It was found that both the systematic and random errors are a strong function of the grain size relative to the voxel size. The random error can be reduced by combining the results from either multiple scans of the same object or scans of multiple similar objects while the systematic error can be eliminated by using volume standards. The leach performance for a leaching column was quantified at different scales and it was found that the leach behaviour and its variability were difficult to quantify at large scales (column and individual ore particle scale), but can be quantified at mineral grain scale by using a novel statistical analysis method. The tracked grains were divided into different size-distance categories to analyse the average leach performance and the variation for each category. Both grain size and distance dependencies were observed. The size dependency is more dominant at the early stage of leaching whereas the distance dependency can significantly influence the ultimate recovery. A method for using the data to estimate the variability in the in-situ surface kinetics was also developed. A model for simulating the grain dissolution and the resultant kinetics based directly on XMT based 3D volume is introduced. The simulations were able to accurately predict both the overall leaching trends, as well as the leaching behaviour of mineral grains in classes based on their size and distance to the particle surface.

description: Density perturbations at the decoupling epoch produce angular fluctuations in the temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation that may appear as hot and cold spots. Observational data of the CMB includes instrumental noise in addition to the cosmological signal. One would like to determine which of the observed spots are produced by the noise and which correspond to signal. In this work we first present a statistical analysis of the first plus second year COBE/DMR map at 53 GHz that reveals the presence of cosmological signal in the data. The analysis is based on Harrison-Zeldovich Monte Carlo realizations and utilizes a generalized $χ^2$ statistic. The method is applied to the number of spots and the fraction of the total area that appear above/below a certain value of the dispersion of the noise, including and excluding the quadrupole, giving $Q_{rms-PS}=15^{+3}_{-6}$, $18^{+5}_{-7} μK$ and $Q_{rms-PS}=18^{+3}_{-4}$, $21\pm6 μK$, at the $95\%$ confidence level, respectively. The data taken by the COBE/DMR experiment during the first two years at three different frequencies (31, 53 and 90 GHz) are used to determine which of the spots observed at 53 GHz appear simultaneously in the other two channels. The significance of those spots is determined by comparison of their area and signal-to-noise with noise Monte Carlo simulations. We point out two cold spots and one hot spot at positions $(l,b)\approx (-99^{\circ},57^{\circ}),(-21^{\circ},-45^{\circ}), (-81^{\circ},-33^{\circ})$ respectively, at the $95 \%$ confidence level.

description: A tracer particle is called anomalously diffusive if its mean squared displacement grows approximately as $σ^2 t^α$ as a function of time $t$ for some constant $σ^2$, where the diffusion exponent satisfies $α\neq 1$. In this article, we use recent results on the asymptotic distribution of the time-averaged mean squared displacement (Didier and Zhang (2017)) to construct statistical tests for detecting physical heterogeneity in viscoelastic fluid samples starting from one or multiple observed anomalously diffusive paths. The methods are asymptotically valid for the range $0 < α< 3/2$ and involve a mathematical characterization of time-averaged mean squared displacement bias and the effect of correlated disturbance errors. The assumptions on particle motion cover a broad family of fractional Gaussian processes, including fractional Brownian motion and many fractional instances of the generalized Langevin equation framework. We apply the proposed methods in experimental data from treated $P.\ aeruginosa$ biofilms generated by the collaboration of the Hill and Schoenfisch Labs at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Theory and simulation of electronic and optical properties of thin film barium strontium titanate

description: In this thesis, we investigate, from first-principles, various means by which the energy gaps and the refractive index of BaTiO$_3$, SrTiO$_3$ and Ba$_{x}$Sr$_{1-x}$TiO$_3$ may be tuned, including epitaxial strain, alloying, and anionic doping. We start by discussing some limitations in the experimental spectroscopic ellipsometry technique that could affect the reliability of the measured optical spectra. Then, we investigate the effects of strain and alloying on the energy gaps of these materials. Interesting features in the gaps are observed as a function of strain, where it decreases and increases for small and high strains, respectively. These features are correlated with the spontaneous polarization of the system, whose behaviour is sensitive to the value of strain. The polarization also affects the behaviour of the bandgap of Ba$_{x}$Sr$_{1-x}$TiO$_3$ as a function of Sr content, which shows a non-monotonic trend. On the other hand, the refractive index of Ba$_{x}$Sr$_{1-x}$TiO$_3$ shows similar features with strain and alloying to those of the bandgaps. Strain is found to induce a decrease of up to $\sim 8\%$ in the refractive index and a birefringence of up to $\sim0.14$, whereas alloying has a smaller effect. Ferroelectric distortions are found to have a major role in decreasing the index, where much less effect is observed when they are inhibited. However, we show that the refractive index is insensitive to the ordering of Sr atoms in Ba$_{x}$Sr$_{1-x}$TiO$_3$. Finally, we investigate the effect of F and N codoping in BaTiO$_3$. The refractive index is sensitive to the atomic ordering of the dopant atoms, which prefer to be aligned in linear chains of F$-$Ti$-$N. The component of the index along the chain shows a dramatic increase with respect to pure BaTiO$_3$, while the other components are almost unaffected. Also, we show that the index can be further tuned by strain and doping concentration.

description: The Press-Schechter(PS) formalism for the mass function of the collapsed objects are reanalyzed. The factor of two in the Press-Schechter formalism is argued to be correct in the sharp $k$-space filter even when we use the another approach proposed by Jedamzik(1994) in the cloud-in-cloud problem, which is different from the previous approach by Peacock & Heavens(1990) and Bond et al.(1991). The spatial correlation of the density fluctuations, however, had been neglected in the cloud-in-cloud problem. The effects of this spatial correlation is analyzed by using the Jedamzik formalism and it is found that this effect alter the PS mass function especially on larger mass scales. Furthermore the exact formula of deriving mass function is shown. We also find that the probability of the overlap of the collapsed objects can be neglected on very small mass scales while it might not be neglected on other mass scales.

description: Our project aims to be able to create a bounding box around lane markings, such as crosswalks and lane dividers, and then classify them into their corresponding categories. To achieve this we use a subset of AI called deep neural networks where we train a model based on gathered data to be able to classify the markings. To classify an item we must first find them, to do this we utilize basic rules and coding packages from OpenCV (open computer vision). Once this is done we ensure that the output of our model is readable and understandable to be overlaid on the original image.
