Highly efficient low-level feature extraction for video representation and retrieval.
(2004)
Witnessing the omnipresence of digital video media, the research community has
raised the question of its meaningful use and management. Stored in immense
multimedia databases, digital videos need to be retrieved and ...
Non-Intrusive Measurement in Packet Networks and its Applications
(2004)
Network measurementis becoming increasingly important as a meanst o assesst he performanceo f
packet networks. Network performance can involve different aspects such as availability, link
failure detection etc, but in ...
Queueing Networks for Vertical Handover
(2009)
It is widely expected that next-generation wireless communication systems will be
heterogeneous, integrating a wide variety of wireless access networks. Of particular
interest recently is a mix of cellular networks ...
Radiation characteristics of corner reflector antennas.
(1998)
This thesis presents a study of the radiation characteristics of corner reflector
antennas. The influence of the design parameters on the radiation characteristics are
assessed using an analytical method and the Finite ...
Digital signal processing for the detection of hidden objects using an FMCW radar.
(1987)
This thesis deals with the detection of hidden objects using a short-range
frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. The detection is carried out
by examining the estimated Power Spectral Density (PSD) functions ...
Energy Efficient Packet Size Optimization for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-03-02)
Energy efficiency is crucial for ad hoc networks because of limited energy stored in the battery. Recharging the nodes frequently is sometimes not possible. Therefore, proper energy utilization is paramount. One possible ...
Supervised dictionary learning for action recognition and localization
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)
Image sequences with humans and human activities are everywhere.
With the amount of produced and distributed data increasing at an
unprecedented rate, there has been a lot of interest in building systems
that can ...
Music Metadata Capture in the Studio from Audio and Symbolic Data
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-10-14)
Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks, in the main, are concerned with
the accurate generation of one of a number of different types of music metadata
{beat onsets, or melody extraction, for example. Almost always,
they ...
Automatic Music Transcription using Structure and Sparsity
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-05-02)
Automatic Music Transcription seeks a machine understanding of a musical signal in terms of
pitch-time activations. One popular approach to this problem is the use of spectrogram decompositions,
whereby a signal matrix ...
Drawing out interaction: Lines around shared space.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-08-12)
Despite advances in image, video, and motion capture technologies, human interactions are frequently
represented as line drawings. Intuitively, drawings provide a useful way of filtering complex, dynamic
sequences to ...
