Separating Directional Lighting Variability in Statistical Face Modelling Based on Texture Space Decomposition
(IEEE, 2007-07-04)
In this paper we propose a simple method for decomposing the linear texture space of a facial appearance model into two linear subspaces, one for inter-individual variability and another for variations caused by directional ...
A review of remediation and control systems for the treatment of agricultural wastewater in Ireland to satisfy the requirements of the Water Framework Directive
(RIA, 2008)
In Ireland, agricultural activities have been identified as major sources of nutrient input to receiving waters and it has been estimated that these activities contribute 75.3% of the nitrogen (N) and 33.4% of the phosphorus ...
A Review of Face Recognition Techniques for In-Camera Applications
(IEEE, 2007-08-20)
This paper presents an overview of a number of classical face recognition techniques, including an assessment of their suitability for applications in real-time embedded systems such as digital cameras, and a generalized ...
A combined approach to feature extraction for mouth characterization and tracking
(IEEE, 2009-02-10)
A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to model and track the lips. A major challenge in modelling the mouth area, considered the most deformable facial feature, is the weak contrast between lips and skin ...
Determining Unique Fingerprint Features for Biometric Encoding of Data
(IEEE, 2008-01-09)
A novel approach to determining unique fingerprint features with high repeatability is described. The techniques described are particularly suitable for CE applications and devices employing inexpensive capacitative ...
On color texture normalization for active appearance models
(IEEE, 2009-05-12)
The extension of the standard grayscale active appearance model (AAM) techniques to color images is investigated. Prior work in this field has mainly focused on RGB color models which did not demonstrate noticeable benefits ...
Facial expression modeling using component AAM models - Gaming applications
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)
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 ...
FPGA based stereo imaging system with applications in computer gaming
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)
A real-time stereo imaging system is described. It incorporates dual image acquisition chains on a single FPGA device and is able to provide real-time synchronized video output from twin CMOS imaging sensors. The platform ...
Architecture for a Home Media Network Based on PTP-IP Connectivity Techniques
(IEEE, 2008-08-05)
PTP/IP functionality is extended to enable networked devices to be organized in a sequential media processing workflow. The additional device functionality necessary to support this network architecture is not unduly complex ...
Equation-based policy optimization for agent-oriented system dynamics models
(Wiley Blackwell, 2008-01-01)
Within system dynamics, optimization has played an important role in identifying the best range of parameter values for policies in any given model. Optimal solutions focus on discovering the best combination of model ...
