Recent developments in the realistic geometric modelling of textile structures using TexGen (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Realistic geometric representation of fabrics is essential for modelling of mechanical and physical properties of textiles and textile composites. It is also advantageous to be able to generate those models quickly and easily. Recent developments in...

Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring (2013)
Conference Proceeding

This paper explores the measurement, apportionment and representation of widespread energy monitoring. We explicate the accountability to users of the data collected by this type of monitoring when it is presented to them as a single daylong picture....

No need to justify your choice: pre-compiling line breaks to improve eBook readability (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Implementations of eBooks have existed in one form or another for at least the past 20 years, but it is only in the past 5 years that dedicated eBook hardware has become a mass-market item. New screen technologies, such as e-paper, provide a readi... Read More about No need to justify your choice: pre-compiling line breaks to improve eBook readability.

Revisiting a summer vacation: digital restoration and typesetter forensics (2013)
Conference Proceeding

In 1979 the Computing Science Research Center (‘Center 127’) at Bell Laboratories bought a Linotron 202 typesetter from the Mergenthaler company. This was a ‘third generation’ digital machine that used a CRT to image characters onto photographic pape...

Energy saving control in five-axis machine tools using contouring control (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Machine tools operate around the clock in industrial applications all over the world, and hence there is a requirement not only for high-speed and high-precision operation but also for reduced energy consumption. This paper presents a novel controlle... Read More about Energy saving control in five-axis machine tools using contouring control.

EO-MINERS: Monitoring the environmental and societal impact of the extractive industry using Earth Observation (2013)
Conference Proceeding

The growing demand for mineral and energy resources over the last decade has placed the extractive industry under increasing pressure to monitor and reduce the environmental and societal impact throughout the life-cycle of mining operations. Despite... Read More about EO-MINERS: Monitoring the environmental and societal impact of the extractive industry using Earth Observation.

Online learning and fusion of orientation appearance models for robust rigid object tracking (2013)
Conference Proceeding

We present a robust framework for learning and fusing different modalities for rigid object tracking. Our method fuses data obtained from a standard visual camera and dense depth maps obtained by low-cost consumer depths cameras such as the Kinect. T...

Optimisation of biomass milling for conveyance and combustion (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Agricultural wastes are increasingly being used as biomass materials for co-firing in coal fired power stations. However issues in milling and conveyance of agricultural residues are limiting the use of these resources and a greater understanding of... Read More about Optimisation of biomass milling for conveyance and combustion.

A semi-automatic methodology for facial landmark annotation (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Developing powerful deformable face models requires massive, annotated face databases on which techniques can be trained, validated and tested. Manual annotation of each facial image in terms of landmarks requires a trained expert and the workload is... Read More about A semi-automatic methodology for facial landmark annotation.

Is Overshoot Caused by an Efferent Reduction in Cochlear Gain? (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Under certain conditions, detection of a masked tone is improved by a preceding sound ("precursor"). This phenomenon is referred to as the "temporal effect" or "overshoot". A prevalent model of overshoot, referred to as the "gain reduction model", po... Read More about Is Overshoot Caused by an Efferent Reduction in Cochlear Gain?.

Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships (2013)
Conference Proceeding

This paper describes the on-going development of a method to elicit perceptions of design ideas for social technologies, through automatically tailoring scenarios presented in online surveys using information gathered from respondents. The work has b... Read More about Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships.

Building open bridges: collaborative remixing and reuse of open educational resources across organisations (2013)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we analyse the remixing and reuse of online learning materials offered as Open Educational Resources (OER). We explore the practices that developed as a set of course materials were released as OER from the UK, remixed for a US context...

Generic active appearance models revisited (2013)
Conference Proceeding

The proposed Active Orientation Models (AOMs) are generative models of facial shape and appearance. Their main differences with the well-known paradigm of Active Appearance Models (AAMs) are (i) they use a different statistical model of appearance, (...
