Advances in the detection & repair of flash-eye defects in digital images - a review of recent patents
(Bentham Science, 2012)Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ... -
Advances in the estimation of the reproduction number from compartmental models using contemporary Monte Carlo methods
(NUI Galway, 2024-03-08)The reproduction number represents the average number of secondary cases generated by a primary case. If the population is completely susceptible, it is referred to as the basic reproduction number (<0) and theoretically ... -
Advances in the management and treatment algorithms for anterior shoulder instability
(NUI Galway, 2022-04-28)Anterior shoulder instability is a common clinical problem, with a reported incidence ranging from 8 to 25 per 100,000 person years in the general population, with higher rates seen 1-3 in athletic populations. However, ... -
Advances in the Modelling of Facial Sub-Regions and Facial Expressions using Active Appearance Techniques
(2009-05-01)Advances are presented in the modeling of facial sub-regions, in the use of enhanced whole face-models, and based on these sub-region models, in the determination of facial expressions. Models are derived using techniques ... -
Advances in the testing of stereo image acquisition devices
(2014-01-04)The core problem addressed in the current thesis is to provide a novel test bed for depth map generation and stereo image-based algorithms. The test bed comprises of elements such as (i) the choice and calibration of ... -
Advances in Understanding, Mining, and Using People-Tags
(2012-05-31)People-tagging involves the process of adding non-hierarchical metadata to users of a system. Such metadata facilitates organising contacts and building user profiles in a collaborative fashion. People-tag-based user ... -
