Anthropomorphic calcaneus phantom for microwave bone imaging applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-10-09)Recent studies have found a significant dielectric contrast between healthy and osteoporotic human trabecular bones. This dielectric contrast can be exploited by microwave imaging for monitoring human bone health. The ... -
Application of preconditioned alternating direction method of multipliers in depth from focal stack
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2018-04-06)Postcapture refocusing effect in smartphone cameras is achievable using focal stacks. However, the accuracy of this effect is totally dependent on the combination of the depth layers in the stack. The accuracy of the ... -
Architecture for gathering and integrating collaborative information for decision support in emergency situations
(Inderscience, 2018-01-16)The involvement of citizens in supporting crisis situations is no longer a new phenomenon. In the past, the lack of data was one of the main barriers faced by public managers in the decision-making process. Today the ... -
Architecture of a PVR appliance with 'Long Tail' internet-TV capabilities
(IEEE, 2006)The design and implementation of a networked PVR appliance incorporating support for Internet-TV is described. The appliance incorporates support for the bittorrent protocol and employs user tools for content location, ... -
Automated in-camera detection of flasheye defects
(IEEE, 2005)This paper examines the problem of performing automated real-time detection of flash eye defects (redeye) in the firmware of a digital camera. Several different algorithms are compared, timing and memory requirements ... -
Automated sorting of consumer image collections using face and peripheral region image classifiers
(IEEE, 2005)An evaluation of techniques and recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. A working implementation of an automatic cataloging tool and user search tools ... -
Biometric access control for digital media streams in home networks
(IEEE, 2007)Methods for controlling access to digital media content in the home environment using biometric sensing techniques are described. A wireless rebroadcast system for IP-TV content was retrofitted with a combination of ... -
Biometric technology and smartphones: a consideration of the practicalities of a broad adoption of biometrics and the likely impacts
(IEEE, 2016-04)The Widespread Global Adoption of Smartphones across all demographics and the rapid commoditization of the technology to the point at which an entry-level device can be sold profitably for less than US$100 suggest that we ... -
Biometrics and Consumer Electronics: A Brave New World or the Road to Dystopia?[Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2013-04)Biometric systems confirm a person's identity by extracting and comparing patterns in their physical characteristics against computer records of those patterns. Examples include scans of the face, iris, or retina; measurements ... -
