Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) was widely learned nowadays. As crucial parts of ADAS, lane markings detection, as well as other objects detection, have become more popular than before. However, most methods implemented in such areas cannot perfectly balance the performance of accuracy versus efficiency, and the mainstream methods (e.g. Machine Learning) suffer from several limitations which can hardly break the wall between partial autonomous and fully autonomous driving. This thesis proposed a real-time lane marking detection framework for ADAS, which included 4-extreme points set descriptor and a rule-based cascade classifier. By analyzing the behavior of lane markings on the road surface, a characteristic of markings was discovered, i.e., standard markings can sustain their shape in the perpendicular plane of the driving direction. By employing this feature, a 4-extreme points set descriptor was applied to describe the shape of each marking first. Specifically, after processing Maximally Stable Extremal Region (MSER) and Hough transforms on a 2-D image, several contours of interest are obtained. A bounding box, with borders parallel to the image coordinate, intersected with each contour at 4 points in the edge, which was named 4-extreme points set. Afterward, to verify consistency of each contour and standard marking, some rules abstracted from construction manual are employed such as Area Filter, Colour Filter, Relative Location Filter, Convex Filter, etc. To reduce the errors caused by changes in driving direction, an enhanced module was then introduced. By tracking the vanishing point as well as other key points of the road net, a method for 3-D reconstruction, with respect to the optical axis between vanishing point and camera center, is possible. The principle of such algorithm was exhibited, and a description about how to obtain the depth information from this model was also provided. Among all of these processes, a key-point based classification method is the main contribution of this paper because of its function in eliminating the deformation of the object caused by inverse perspective mapping. Several experiments were conducted in highway and urban roads in Ottawa. The detection rate of the markings by the proposed algorithm reached an average accuracy rate of 96.77% while F1 Score (harmonic mean of precision and recall) also attained a rate of 90.57%. In summary, the proposed method exhibited a state-of-the-art performance and represents a significant advancement of understanding.

This thesis describes the approach in designing and implementing a driver marking network traffic for quality of service provision. In the beginning distinct technologies usable for the driver development are discussed and compared to each other while the most suiting candidate is chosen for driver development. Next the thesis discusses the design of the driver according to specification and depicts a list of more specific requirements affecting the driver design itself. The focus point in design is the least possible impact on network traffic performance and the running system itself. In addition to the driver an application programming interface usable from user mode is designed and so the system as a whole ensures the marking of network traffic entirely. In the end the created driver architecture is described and the application programming interface is described in terms of use.

"The writer has come to believe that much of the discussion in faculty meetings on the topic 'How to Improve Evaluation of Pupil Progress' has centered too much on the mechanics of reporting, that is, upon a debate regarding the form and kind of marking system used in the report card itself. Ideas gathered from several courses taken at Florida State University and from reading have convinced the writer that while, in evaluating pupil progress, the method of reporting is important, building a new report card is not the first step to be undertaken. Several prior questions of a very fundamental sort must be answered before one comes to settling the report card issue. Therefore the paper will reflect what the writer considers to be essential considerations in the process of defining learning outcomes, securing evidence of their achievement, and reporting the progress achieved"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: W.

Recording the progress of children and reporting to parents is one of the important responsibilities of the elementary school today. Reporting is a request by parents to know about the progress or lack of progress of children, but there has not been found any type of law stating that the school must give parents any type of report. It is assumed that each school will engage in this activity. / Typescript. / "August, 1953." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Mildred E.
