Thesis
LEDINGHAM, R.J. 2016. 3D anthropometry: quantifying the shape and size variability within the UK male offshore oil and gas workforce. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

Background: UK male offshore workers typically increased in weight by 19% since 1985, and are also heavier than the background UK male population. Aim: To conduct an anthropometric survey on UK offshore workers, employing the latest portable 3D scann...

Class decomposition describes the process of segmenting each class into a number of homogeneous subclasses. This can be naturally achieved through clustering. Utilising class decomposition can provide a number of benefits to supervised learning, espe...

On the relationship between variational level set-based and SOM-based active contours. (2015)
Journal Article
ABDELSAMEA, M.M., GNECCO, G., GABER, M.M. and ELYAN, E. 2015. On the relationship between variational level set-based and SOM-based active contours. Computational intelligence and neuroscience [online], 2015, article ID 109029. Available from:https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/109029

Most Active Contour Models (ACMs) deal with the image segmentation problem as a functional optimization problem, as they work on dividing an image into several regions by optimizing a suitable functional. Among ACMs, variational level set methods hav... Read More about On the relationship between variational level set-based and SOM-based active contours..

Content based video retrieval via spatial-temporal information discovery. (2013)
Thesis
WANG, L. 2013. Content based video retrieval via spatial-temporal information discovery. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Content based video retrieval (CBVR) has been strongly motivated by a variety of realworld applications. Most state-of-the-art CBVR systems are built based on Bag-of-visual- Words (BovW) framework for visual resources representation and access. The f...

Improving bag-of-visual-words model with spatial-temporal correlation for video retrieval. (2012)
Conference Proceeding
WANG, L., SONG, D. and ELYAN, E. 2012. Improving bag-of-visual-words model with spatial-temporal correlation for video retrieval. In Proceedings of the 21st Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) international conference on information and knowledge management (CIKM'12), 29 October - 2 November 2012, Maui, USA. New York: ACM [online], pages 1303-1312. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1145/2396761.2398433

Most of the state-of-art approaches to Query-by-Example (QBE) video retrieval are based on the Bag-of-visual-Words (BovW) representation of visual content. It, however, ignores the spatial-temporal information, which is important for similarity measu...
