Automated editing of medical training video via content analysis
(SPIE, 2006)Physicians in the early part of their training inevitably undertake a course in Anatomy. Unfortunately, the amount of training medical students have with real bodies has decreased. This is further exacerbated with ... -
Automated Segmentation of Torn Frames using the Graph Cuts Technique
(2007)Film Tear is a form of degradation in archived film and is the physical ripping of the film material. Tear causes displacement of a region of the degraded frame and the loss of image data along the boundary of tear. In ... -
Automated treatment of film tear in degraded archived media
(IEEE, 2004)A common form of degradation in archived film is film tear. This is caused by the physical ripping of the film. Tear causes displacement of a region of the degraded frame and the loss of image data. As of yet no method of ... -
Bayesian example based segmentation using a hybrid energy model
(IEEE, 2007)This paper describes a supervised segmentation algorithmwhich draws inspiration from recent advances in non-parametric texture synthesis. A set of example images which have been segmented a priori are used as a guide ... -
Bubble enhanced heat transfer from a vertical heated surface
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)A rising bubble in a liquid can greatly enhance heat transfer from heated surfaces by acting like a bluff body, displacing fluid as it moves and via the wake generated by the bubble, increasing the mixing of the liquid. ... -
A Comparative Error Analysis of Audio-Visual Source Localization
(2008)This paper examines the accuracy of audio-video based localization using multiple cameras and multi-microphones. Covariance mapping theory is used to determine the accuracy of audio and video based localization. Both ... -
Determination of substitutional carbon content in rapid thermal chemical vapour deposited Si1-x-yGexCy on Si (1 0 0) using Raman spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2009)The effect of carbon content on strain compensation in rapid thermal chemical vapour deposited Si1-x-yGexCy films was investigated using Raman spectroscopy as x varies from 10% to 16% and y varies from 0% to 1.8%. The ... -
Diagnosis and Treatment of Film Tear in Degraded Archived Media
(IEEE, 2004)A common form of degradation in archived film is film tear. This is caused by the physical ripping of the film. Tear causes displacement of a region of the degraded frame and the loss of image data. As of yet no method of ... -
Disproportionate Collapse in Building Structures.
(2010)The failure of the Ronan Point apartment tower focused interest in disproportionate collapse, and prompted the ?Fifth Amendment? to the UK Building Regulations which was introduced in 1970. From this point on structures ... -
Dynamic Time Warping for Acoustic Response Interpolation: Possibilities and Limitations
(2009)We present a novel method for the interpolation of the direct and early reflection components in acoustic impulse responses. The method utilizes Dynamic Time Warping for automated temporal alignment of the sparse reflections. ... -
Extraction of Non-Binary Blotch Mattes.
(IEEE, 2009)Automated blotch removal is important in film restoration and typically involves a detection/interpolation step. Current algorithms model the corruption as a binary mixture between the original, clean images and an ... -
Flexible architecture software radio OFDM transceiver system and frame synchronization analysis
(IEEE, 2003)Abstract-In this paper, we present findings relating to frame synchronization algorithms for software radio based OFDM systems in addition to an overview of the design and implementation of an (OFDM) Software Radio based ... -
Heat transfer characteristics of swirling impinging jets
(ASME, 2009)Impinging jets are used in a wide number of industrial cooling applications due to their high heat and mass transfer abilities. The current research is concerned with the effect of swirl on the heat transfer characteristics ... -
The Importance of Dynamic Effects in Progressive Collapse
(2010)This paper presents a methodology to assess the extent of damage to a multi-storey structure following localised collapse. This is accomplished through the design of an algorithm to track progressive collapse in a structure ... -
Information Retrieval Assisted Object Segmentation In Video.
(IEEE, 2008)Accurate object segmentation in video is difficult. The dynamic nature of the medium causes drifts in the feature spaces traditionally used in segmentation of objects in still images. For example, colour distributions, ... -
Loss of trabeculae by mechano-biological means may explain rapid bone loss in osteoporosis.
(2008)Osteoporosis is characterized by rapid and irreversible loss of trabecular bone tissue leading to increased bone fragility. In this study, we hypothesize two causes for rapid loss of bone trabeculae; firstly, the perforation ... -
Nonlinear noninertial response of a quantum Brownian particle in a tilted periodic potential to a strong ac force as applied to a point Josephson junction
(American Physical Society, 2009)The quantum Smoluchowski equation for the reduced Wigner function in configuration space pertaining to the quantum Brownian motion of a particle in a tilted cosine potential in the high dissipation (or noninertial) limit ...
