Face Alignment in the Wild.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-10-21)
Face alignment on a face image is a crucial step in many computer vision applications such
as face recognition, verification and facial expression recognition. In this thesis we present
a collection of methods for face ...
Intelligent Tools for Multitrack Frequency and Dynamics Processing
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-06-05)
This research explores the possibility of reproducing mixing decisions of a skilled audio
engineer with minimal human interaction that can improve the overall listening experience of
musical mixtures, i.e., intelligent ...
Queueing analysis for cross-layer design with adaptive modulation and coding
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-10-01)
With the development of wireless networks, Quality of Service (QoS) has become one of the most important mechanisms to improve the system performance such as loss, delay and throughput. Cross-layer design is seen as one ...
LEARNING SALIENCY FOR HUMAN ACTION RECOGNITION
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-09-16)
When we are looking at a visual stimuli, there are certain areas that stand out
from the neighbouring areas and immediately grab our attention. A map that identi-
es such areas is called a visual saliency map. As humans ...
Joint Scheduling and Duty Cycle Control Framework for Hierarchical Machine-to-Machine Communication Networks.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-02-01)
This thesis presents a novel distributed optimisation framework for machine-tomachine
(M2M) communication networks with dynamic traffic generation, heterogeneous
applications and different device capabilities. The aim ...
Latency Based Approach for Characterization of Cloud Application Performance.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-03-01)
Public cloud infrastructures provide
exible hosting for web application providers, but the
rented virtual machines (VMs) often offer unpredictable performance to the deployed applications.
Understanding cloud performance ...
Load Management for Publish/Subscribe Message Oriented Middleware
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-01-21)
To provide time-critical early warnings in a Tsunami Warning System (TWS), the time delay for both the sensor data exchange process (upstream) and the warning message dissemination processes (downstream) should be minimal, ...
QoS-aware Adaptive Resource Management in OFDMA Networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-03-01)
One important feature of the future communication network is that users in the
network are required to experience a guaranteed high quality of service (QoS) due
to the popularity of multimedia applications. This thesis ...
Characterisation of Skin-based THz Communication Channel for Nano-scale Body-centric Wireless Networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-05-31)
In pursuit of enhancing the capabilities of healthcare diagnostics and monitoring, the electromagnetic spectrum has been utilized efficiently from the MHz up to THz and beyond. The era of smart phones, wearable devices and ...
Performance Evaluation and Enhancement in 5G Networks : A Stochastic Geometry Approach
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-02-02)
The deployment of heterogeneous networks (HetNets), in which low power nodes (LPNs)
and high power nodes (HPNs) coexist, has become a promising solution for extending
coverage and increasing capacity in wireless networks. ...
