Deconstructing and reconstructing Medium Access Control : the anatomy of a Cognitive Radio MAC
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2012)This thesis focuses on Medium Access Control (MAC) for Cognitive Radio (CR). What is meant by the term can however be unclear. What CR MACs have been shown to do in the literature does not follow any one clear definition, ... -
Deep Cross-Modal Alignment in Audio-Visual Speech Recognition
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)Modern studies in cognitive psychology have demonstrated that speech perception is a multimodal process, as opposed to a purely auditory one with visual carryover as in the classic view. This led researchers to investigate ... -
Deep Interactive Image Matting
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2022)Image Matting for Compositing is the cutting of an object from an image for background replacement. It is an interactive process fundamental to image editing. Useful matting algorithms both reduce the amount of interaction ... -
Design of a High Performance Low-Power ECG Amplifier for Textile Based Un-gelled Electrodes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)This thesis presents analytical studies and bench experiments which highlight how electrocardiographic recording equipment which adheres to current international standards can still introduce distortion and affect the ... -
