Advanced hardware real time face detector
Bigioi, Petronel; Zaharia, Corneliu; Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2012)Face detection and tracking can be considered an enabling technology for a range of image enhancements technologies, authentications and advanced UIs in handheld devices. Several modes of implementing a face detection ... -
An analytical method to assess the impact of distributed generation and energy storage on reliability of supply
Escalera, Alberto; Hayes, Barry; Prodanovic, Milan (CIRED International Conference and Exhibition on Electricity Distribution, 2017-06-12)Efficient integration of Distributed Generation (DG) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to distribution networks can help improve the reliability of supply. In order to evaluate the impact of these technologies on ... -
Beyond stream processing??? A distributed vision architecture for the Internet of Things
Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2016)An ‘edge-based’ image processing architecture for the internet of things (IoT) is devised, drawing on the existing image processing pipelines that are implemented in today’s imaging modules in digital cameras and ... -
CEBus network access via the world-wide-web
Corcoran, Peter; Desbonnet, Joe (IEEE, 1996)Several methods of providing access to CEBus networks using the World Wide Web are described. Details of a working demonstration system are given. The system software incorporates CGI-Bin scripts and Java applets ... -
A crash course on patents for engineers
Corcoran, Peter (2013)Most engineers are aware of the existence of patents. Indeed the preparation of patent disclosures is an important aspect of most research engineering job functions. Yet for many engineers the world of patents remains ... -
A crash course on patents for engineers

Detection and repair of flash-eye in handheld devices
Corcoran, Peter; Bigioi, Petronel; Nanu, Florin (IEEE, 2014)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 ... -
Digital imaging services using PTP (picture transfer protocol)
Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2002-06-20)Interconnectivity of digital cameras with other devices seems to be one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras provide better usage of digital ... -
An end-user led approach for assessing the feasibility of small-scale wind energy projects
Miu, Luciana M.; Hayes, Barry P.; Djokic, Sasa Z. (NUI Galway, 2017-06-18)The successful realization of a wind energy project, i.e. a wind farm, wind plant or, in its simplest form, a single wind turbine generator, WTG, strongly depends on accurate assessment of wind energy resources at the ... -
Facial enhancement and beautification for HD video cameras
Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2011)Influenced by the widespread adoption of HDTV consumer imaging devices have begun to feature full HD (high density) video capture. With this high-resolution capability, small imperfections in human faces are captured with ... -
Facial expression modeling using component AAM models-Gaming applications
Bacivarov, Ioana; Corcoran, Peter (2009)In this paper we provide preliminary results on a new modeling approach for improved determination of facial expressions from a low-resolution video stream. An initial proof-of-concept using an extension of an Active ... -
Half-face detector for enhanced performance of flash-eye filter
Corcoran, Peter; Bigioi, Petronel (IEEE, 2013-01-12)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 ... -
Home gateway architecture for generic multimedia services
Cucos, A.; Corcoran, Peter; Bigioi, Petronel; Hanrahan, R.B.W. (1999)Development of a prototype residential gateway based on low-cost off-the-shelf PC components is described. The goal is to show how such a gateway might operate to satisfy the requirements of a broad spectrum of customer ... -
Hybrid video-frame pre-processing architecture for HD-video
Bigioi, Petronel; Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2011)As imaging devices begin to support full frame rate video at 720p and higher resolutions image processing algorithms which operate on full image frames become severely challenged due to both the processing costs of operating ... -
Image processing techniques to detect and filter objectionable images based on skin tone and shape recognition
Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2001-06-09)In this paper we describe image-processing techniques to detect and categorize potentially objectionable images based solely on the image content. The techniques include a novel method of matching skin tones based on a ... -
