Tracking interacting targets in multi-modal sensors
(2009)
Object tracking is one of the fundamental tasks in various applications such as surveillance,
sports, video conferencing and activity recognition. Factors such as occlusions,
illumination changes and limited field of ...
FDTD modelling of electromagnetic transformation based devices
(2010)
During this PhD study, several finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods were
developed to numerically investigate coordinate transformation based metamaterial
devices. A novel radially-dependent dispersive FDTD ...
Millimetre wave imaging for concealed target detection
(2011)
Concealed weapon detection (CWD) has been a hot topic as the concern about pub-
lic safety increases. A variety of approaches for the detection of concealed objects
on the human body based on earth magnetic ¯eld distortion, ...
Multi-resolution time-domain modelling technique and its applications in electromagnetic band gap enhanced antennas
(2010)
Newly emerged Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structures possess multiple frequency
bands that prohibit wave propagation and such stop bands are basically determined by
the periodicity of the structure. Such desirable ...
Radio resource allocation in relay based OFDMA cellular networks
(2010)
Adding relay stations (RS) between the base station (BS) and the mobile stations (MS) in a cellular system can extend network coverage, overcome multi-path fading and increase the capacity of the system.

Flexible distributed computing with volunteered resources
(2010)
Nowadays, computational grids have evolved to a stage where they can comprise many
volunteered resources owned by different individual users and/or institutions, such as desktop
grids and volunteered computing grids. ...
Interactive real-time musical systems
(2009)
This thesis focuses on the development of automatic accompaniment systems.
We investigate previous systems and look at a range of approaches
that have been attempted for the problem of beat tracking. Most beat
trackers ...
Making music through real-time voice timbre analysis: machine learning and timbral control
(2010)
People can achieve rich musical expression through vocal sound { see for example
human beatboxing, which achieves a wide timbral variety through a range of
extended techniques. Yet the vocal modality is under-exploited ...
Subspace discovery for video anomaly detection
(2010)
In automated video surveillance anomaly detection is a challenging task. We address
this task as a novelty detection problem where pattern description is limited
and labelling information is available only for a small ...
Applying Bayesian networks to model uncertainty in project scheduling
(2009)
Risk Management has become an important part of Project Management. In spite
of numerous advances in the field of Project Risk Management (PRM), handling
uncertainty in complex projects still remains a challenge. An ...
