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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Topology and congestion invariant in global internet-scale networks
(2010)
Infrastructures like telecommunication systems, power transmission
grids and the Internet are complex networks that are vulnerable to
catastrophic failure. A common mechanism behind this kind of failure
is avalanche-like ...
Cooperative control of relay based cellular networks
(2009)
The increasing popularity of wireless communications and the higher data
requirements of new types of service lead to higher demands on wireless networks.
Relay based cellular networks have been seen as an effective way ...
A hierarchal framework for recognising activities of daily life
(2009)
In today’s working world the elderly who are dependent can sometimes be
neglected by society. Statistically, after toddlers it is the elderly who are observed
to have higher accident rates while performing everyday ...
Particle swarm optimization for routing and wavelength assignment in next generation WDM networks.
(2010)
All-optical Wave Division Multiplexed (WDM) networking is a promising technology for long-haul backbone and large metropolitan optical networks in order to meet the non-diminishing bandwidth demands of future applications ...
