Privacy-aware human presence and movement analysis in controlled and uncontrolled environments
… analyze human activities in both controlled and uncontrolled environments. One of the core topics the thesis deals with refers to the research and development of a robust human detection and tracking framework, which exploits the use of privacy-preserving information for supporting emerging …

Human and algorithm facial recognition performance : face in a crowd
… of identifying persons of interest (POIs) in uncontrolled environments, accurately and rapidly, is paramount in the 21st century. One such technique to do this is by using automated facial recognition systems (FRS). To date, FRS have mainly been tested in laboratory conditions (controlled) …

A sensory system for robots using evolutionary artificial neural networks.
… for an animat that can analyse a visual scene in uncontrolled environments. Inspiration was drawn both from Biological Visual Systems and Artificial Image Recognition Systems. Several Biological Systems including the Insect, Toad and Human Visual Systems were studied alongside popular Pattern …

Attacking Computer Vision Models Using Occlusion Analysis to Create Physically Robust Adversarial Images
… of sight to function effectively in chaotic and uncontrolled environments. Thanks to recent developments in computer vision, specifically convolutional neural networks, autonomous vehicles have developed the ability to see at or above human-level capabilities, which in turn has allowed for rapid …

Pushing the Limits of RF and Underwater Backscatter Systems
… and evaluate the system in controlled and uncontrolled environments, showing that it achieves more range and more throughput than prior state-of-the-art underwater backscatter designs. In doing so, this thesis extends our understanding of RF backscatter and advances the capabilities of …

An investigation into biomimetic gripping based on insect tarsal chains
… against uncertainties in gripping tasks, and uncontrolled environments. While soft robotics as a field has seen significant progress over the last decades, it still can’t fully match the performance of biological ystems, for which adaptation to unknown conditions is a daily necessity. It …

Interactive Spaces Natural interfaces supporting gestures and manipulations in interactive spaces
… idea is to design devices able to work also in uncontrolled environments, and in situations where control is mostly of the physical type where even the less experienced users can express their manipulative exploration and gesture communication abilities. We also analyze how it can be possible to …

Using instructed response times to compare inattentive responding across paper and online modalities: measuring research participant inattention
… and multitasking activities to increase in uncontrolled environments (Liu, 2012; Moisala et al., 2016). Additionally, sustained attention decreases with online displays and people tend to spend less time on in-depth reading (Birkerts, 1996) due to fewer spatial cues necessary for …

Visual region understanding: unsupervised extraction and abstraction
… gain a conceptual understanding of the world in uncontrolled environments is the ultimate goal of vision-based computer systems. Technological societies today are heavily reliant on surveillance and security infrastructure, robotics, medical image analysis, visual data categorisation and search, …

3D facial performance capture from monocular RGB video.
… proposed and proven to work well in controlled environments. Nevertheless there are still many unexplored issues in uncontrolled in-the-wild environments. In order to achieve the same level of performance in controlled environments, interfering factors in uncontrolled environments such as …

Towards effective live cloud migration on public cloud IaaS.
… to enable multi-tenant and isolated environments for users. Because, each provider has its own proprietary virtual machine (VM) manager, called the hypervisor, VMs are usually tightly coupled to the underlying hardware, thus hindering live migration of VMs to different providers. A …
