An investigation into the use of computer vision colour and texture descriptors to facilitate a user-driven image similarity search for finding works of art with similar atheistic properties.
Considering Video as a Volume
A novel video visualisation technique aimed at resolving complex temporal changes in video sequences by the use of volume based rendering and processing techniques from the domain of 3D medical imaging.
Geometric Texture Transfer
The automatic transfer of 3D geometric surface texture (tactile surface relief) from one 3D surface to another to allow the realistic 3D texturing of artist created 3D forms with real world texture examples.
Automotive Headlight Detection
A system that integrates both spatial and temporal information for the real-time, in-situ detection of on-coming vehicle headlights from a windscreen mounted camera in the host vehicle.
