In recent years the Deep Neural Networks (DNN) has been using widely in a big range of machine learning and data-mining purposes. This pattern recognition approach can handle highly nonlinear problems. In this work, ...

Ultrawideband (UWB) microwave imaging is an emerging breast screening modality based on the electromagnetic reflections generated by the dielectric contrast between soft tissue types within the breast at microwave ...

Microwave imaging is an emerging imaging modality for the early detection of breast cancer. Early-time artifact removal and imaging algorithm are the two most important signal processing components of any Confocal Microwave ...

This thesis aims to examine and investigate methods that could potentially utilize images captured by consumer cameras such as smartphones to estimate depth and generate a 3D structure. After more than a century of ...

This thesis describes work completed on the characterisation and modelling of the behaviour of subscribers in mobile phone networks implementing dynamic pricing by means of Call Detail Records (CDR) datasets analysis. The ...

In 2013, the World Health Organization coined the term “Globesity” to highlight the importance of the epidemic and impact as a major health problem in many parts of the world (World Health Organization, 2013). Many believe ...

This thesis is concerned with development of signal and image processing technology for smart agriculture applications, with a particular focus on applications in automatic weeding systems. Developing an automatic weeding ...

Energy harvesting provides a promising opportunity as the power source for wireless sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT) related applications (e.g. smart buildings, autonomous cars). However there are issues encountered ...

This thesis is concerned with the development of methodologies for automatically assessing fluid properties in wastewater treatment plants, and to monitor plant performance and efficiency. Reliable performance metrics are ...

Today, the early detection of breast cancer for asymptomatic women primarily relies on generalised screening programmes with x-ray mammography. However, the long-term value of screening mammography has been questioned due ...
