Microwave calcaneus phantom for bone imaging applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-03-15)
Microwave imaging can be used as an alternate modality for monitoring bone health. Dielectrically accurate, anthropomorphic phantoms play vital role in testing of imaging prototype prior to clinical applications. However, ...
Characterisation of Irish-grown Scots pine timber for structural applications
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-08-27)
There is very little knowledge on the timber quality of the native Scots pine grown in Ireland, and its potential to produce timber for structural applications. This paper studied the mechanical performance in tension and ...
High-accuracy facial depth models derived from 3D synthetic data
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-08-31)
In this paper, we explore how synthetically generated 3D face models can be used to construct a high-accuracy ground truth for depth. This allows us to train the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to solve facial depth ...
A novel ROM methodology to support the estimation of the energy savings under the Measurement and Verification protocol
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-09-21)
This paper presents a novel Reduced Order grey box
Model (ROM) methodology, based on a ResistorCapacitor (RC) network, which supports the creation of
the baseline energy consumption and the estimation of
energy savings ...
Reinforcement of timber elements in compression perpendicular to the grain using compressed wood dowels
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2020-08-27)
ABSTRACT: In the past decade, there has been an increased focus on the environmental impacts of construction and a movement
towards more sustainable construction products. Timber is one such sustainable product that can ...
Recovered wood as raw material for structural timber products. Characteristics, situation and study cases: Ireland and Spain
(International Society of Wood Science and Technology (SWST), 2020-07-12)
The circular economy is an efficient system to reuse materials reducing the amount of waste generated. In order to implement it in the timber sector, the InFutUReWood (Innovative Design for the Future Use and Reuse of ...
Generative Augmented Dataset and Annotation Frameworks for Artificial Intelligence (GADAFAI)
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-08-31)
Recent Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly in the field of compute vision, have been driven by the availability of large public datasets. However, as AI begins to move into embedded devices there will ...
Accurate 2D facial depth models derived from a 3D synthetic dataset
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-05-13)
As Consumer Technologies (CT) seeks to engage and interact more closely with the end-user it becomes important to observe and analyze a user’s interaction with CT devices and associated services. One of the most useful ...
A novel machine learning based method for deepfake video detection in social media
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-05-12)
With the advent of deepfake videos, video forgery has become a serious threat. Videos in social media are the most common and serious targets. There are some existing works for detecting deepfake videos but very few attempts ...
Using systems thinking, system dynamics and simulation for sustainability education: A study design
(System Dynamics Society, 2020-06-08)
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is vital to the success of the United Nation¿s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is broad consensus that it requires active, participative and experiential learning ...
