Segmentation of textured images on three-dimensional lattices
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2003)The development of supervised segmentation algorithms for textured images existing on three-dimensional (3-D) lattices is the central theme of this thesis. The current state of the art in 3-D segmentation has been reviewed, ... -
The sense ensemble; An approach to music composition for deaf and hearing alike
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2018)Effective music composition approaches for the deaf are investigated. After a review of existing methods for deaf musical engagement, the reasons for music being popularly regarded as an auditory-centred experience are ... -

Sound Source Localization and Virtual Testing of Binaural Audio
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)This thesis is concerned with aspects of our perception of spatial audio and with novel technology used to record, analyse and present it. The field of spatial audio has become increasingly prevalent with mediums such as ... -
Spaciousness control for sound field recording and reconstruction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2015)Auditory Spaciousness' is a perceptual characteristic which has been recognized as being an important aesthetic feature of music presentations of various types. Most previous research has been focused on the identification ... -
Spectre of the commons : a political economy of radio regulation in the communism of capital
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2014)This thesis performs a critique of the political economy of mobile networks through the theoretical framework of the communism of capital. It identifies the economic centrality of social production to the contemporary ... -
Spectroscopic investigations of SiGe nano-structures
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2007)This work investigates the growth of several novel structures using a variety of spectroscopic techniques. Strained Si caps deposited on a relaxed SiGe layer are grown with resulting dislocations found to be perfectly ... -

Taking advantage of correlated information for energy-aware scheduling in the IoT: A deep reinforcement learning approach
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2020)Millions of battery-powered sensors deployed for monitoring purposes in a multitude of scenarios, e.g., agriculture, smart cities, industry, etc., require energy-efficient solutions to prolong their lifetime. When these ... -
Temporal discrimination thresholds as an endophenotype in adult-onset primary torsion dystonia
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2012)Adult onset primary torsion dystonia (AOPTD) is the most common form of dystonia and is an autosomal dominant disorder with markedly reduced penetrance. Most AOPTD patients therefore present as "sporadic" cases. Disordered ... -
The application of digital signal processing to the modelling and alleviation of auditory impairment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2001)This work is concerned with the development of digital signal processing models of the unimpaired and impaired human auditory system with a view towards the development of signal processing strategies for the alleviation ... -

The variational Bayes approach in signal processing
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2004)This thesis is concerned with Bayesian identification of parameters of linear models. Linear models are used in many important problems of Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Computationally efficient methods of parameter ... -
Towards a greater understanding of the neurophysiology of natural audiovisual speech processing : a system identification approach to EEG
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2016)Seeing a speaker’s face as he or she talks can greatly help in understanding what the speaker is saying, especially in adverse hearing conditions – a principle known as inverse effectiveness. This is because the speaker’s ... -
