We present a new method for calculating the transformation parameters for a rigid body undergoing planar motion parallel to the image plane. The method utilises splines to represent the outline of the rigid shape rather ...

The concept of an intelligent software agent has emerged from its origins in artificial intelligence laboratories to become an important basis for the development of distributed systems in the mainstream computer science ...

With the development of deep belief nets, the empirical evidence supporting a link between deep architecture neural networks and generalisation with respect to classification has been mounting. An analytical proof of this ...

This thesis presents the design and implementation of our novel hybrid software DSM system. We call our system hybrid home-based EAC (HHEAC) since the system implements our novel exclusive access consistency model (EAC) ...

The computer vision problem of face detection has over the years become a common high-requirements benchmark for machine learning methods. In the last decade, highly efficient face detection systems have been developed ...

This paper describes a tool being developed to allow users to visualise the ripening characteristics of fruit. These characteristics, such as sugar, acid and moisture content, can be measured using non-destructive Near ...

The new user problem is a problem that all collaborative filtering systems will face. How do we make recommendations when we do not know what the user likes? This thesis provides an overview of collaborative filtering ...

This thesis is about logical models of belief (and knowledge) representation and belief change. This means that we propose logical systems which are intended to represent how agents perceive a situation and reason about ...

The Internet has already become a platform for multimedia rich communication, collaboration and entertaining applications. A majority of these applications are based on a technology known as audio-video streaming. Streaming ...
