Activity understanding and unusual event detection in surveillance videos
(2010)
Computer scientists have made ceaseless efforts to replicate cognitive video understanding abilities
of human brains onto autonomous vision systems. As video surveillance cameras become
ubiquitous, there is a surge in ...
Collaborating through sounds: audio-only interaction with diagrams
(2010)
The widening spectrum of interaction contexts and users’ needs continues to expose the limitations
of the Graphical User Interface. But despite the benefits of sound in everyday activities and
considerable progress in ...
Uncommon ground: the distribution of dialogue contexts
(2009)
Context in dialogue is at once regarded as a set of resources enabling successful interpretation and
is altered by such interpretations. A key problem for models of dialogue, then, is to specify how
the shared context ...
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 ...
Automating quantitative information flow
(2011)
Unprecedented quantities of personal and business data are collected, stored,
shared, and processed by countless institutions all over the world. Prominent
examples include sharing personal data on social networking ...
Spatial and temporal background modelling of non-stationary visual scenes
(2009)
The prevalence of electronic imaging systems in everyday life has become increasingly apparent
in recent years. Applications are to be found in medical scanning, automated manufacture, and
perhaps most significantly, ...
Ultra wideband gigabit powerline communication
(2009)
Powerline Communication (PLC) has long been established for low
data rate applications by the electric supply companies. Since 1991,
the European CENELEC standard EN 50065 has ruled the use of 3
- 148.5KHz frequency ...
