An affine invariant function using PCA bases with an application to within-class object recognition (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tzimiropoulos, G., Mitianoudis, N., & Stathaki, T. (2007). An affine invariant function using PCA bases with an application to within-class object recognition.

The problem of shape-based recognition of objects under affine transformations is considered. We focus on the construction of a robust and highly discriminative affine invariant function that can be used for within-class object recognition applicatio...

Compact fusion (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hope, C., & Hutton, G. (2006). Compact fusion.

There are many advantages to writing functional programs in a compositional style, such as clarity and modularity. However, the intermediate data structures produced may mean that the resulting program is inefficient in terms of space. These may be r... Read More about Compact fusion.

Home-school technologies: Considering the family (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, K., Rodden, T., & O'Malley, C. (2006, June). Home-school technologies: Considering the family. Presented at IDC06: 5th International Conference on Interaction Design and Children, Tampere Finland

Research has focused on building technologies to support children in their transitions between home and school without a developed sense of how individual families react to such technologies. We interviewed three different families about their reacti... Read More about Home-school technologies: Considering the family.

In this paper we present the B-coder, an efficient binary arithmetic coder that performs extremely well on a wide range of data. The B-coder should be classed as an `approximate’ arithmetic coder, because of its use of an approximation to multiplicat...

Laying out the future of final-form digital documents (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brailsford, D. F. (2006). Laying out the future of final-form digital documents. In J. P. Allebach, & H. Chao (Eds.),

It is just over 20 years since Adobe's PostScript opened a new era in digital documents. PostScript allows most details of rendering to be hidden within the imaging device itself, while providing a rich set of primitives enabling document engineers t...

Artificial Immune Tissue using Self-Organizing Networks (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. (2006). Artificial Immune Tissue using Self-Organizing Networks.

As introduced by Bentley et al. (2005), artificial immune systems (AIS) are lacking tissue, which is present in one form or another in all living multi-cellular organisms. Some have argued that this concept in the context of AIS brings little novelty... Read More about Artificial Immune Tissue using Self-Organizing Networks.

Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Houlston, P. R., Garvey, S. D., & Popov, A. A. (2006). Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems.

Second order matrix equations arise in the description of real dynamical systems. Traditional modal control approaches utilise the eigenvectors of the undamped system to diagonalise the system matrices. A regrettable consequence of this approach is t...
