Beyond stream processing??? A distributed vision architecture for the Internet of Things
(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 ...
A crash course on patents for engineers
(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 ...
Proof-of-concept and evaluation of a dual function visible/NIR camera for iris authentication in smartphones
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-05)
As a robust method of person authentication, iris biometrics is making its way in to consumer devices such as smartphones. Current iris image acquisition devices typically work under controlled environment and constrained ...
SMART MOVE - a smartphone-based intervention to promote physical activity in primary care: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-29)
Background: Sedentary lifestyles are now becoming a major concern for governments of developed and developing countries with physical inactivity related to increased all-cause mortality, lower quality of life, and increased ...
Haemodynamic performance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during recovery from total hip arthroplasty
(2013-03-05)
Background: Patients post total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain at high risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during the recovery period following surgery despite the availability of effective pharmacological and ...
Human centred design considerations for connected health devices for the older adult
(MDPI, 2014-06-04)
Connected health devices are generally
designed for unsupervised use, by
non-healthcare professionals, facilitating independent control of the
individuals own healthcare. Older adults are major users of such devices ...
On thin-clients and the cloud; can smartphones and tablets really reduce electricity consumption?
(2014)
Cloud computing suggests that we can move many computational and data storage services from the desktop onto the network. New thin clients provide an excellent user interface for cloud services and also reduce both ...
Detection and repair of flash-eye in handheld devices
(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 ...
Evaluation of Combined Visible/NIR Camera for Iris Authentication on smartphones
(IEEE, 2015)
Iris biometrics provide a mature and robust method of authentication, but are typically applied in a controlled environment and under constrained acquisition conditions. In this paper, the adaption of iris biometrics for ...
Wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices
(2014)
The concepts of wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices are explained. Some current examples and enabling technologies are provided. The need for real-time distortion correction is outlined. Several new ...
