A three-dimensional (3-D) visualization system for serial microscope images is developed with special reference to its application in microscopy and cell biology. The 3-D visualization system involves three process stages, ...

This dissertation presents a novel underwater machine vision technique which uses the optical properties of water to extract range information from colour images. By exploiting the fact that the attenuation of light in ...

The concept of reciprocal acoustical travel-time measurements as a means of determining path-averaged currents is well established. We have designed an instrument to exploit this principle in studies of the boundary layer ...

The thesis focuses on fast acquisition techniques for spread spectrum packet radio communications systems. Matched filters are often used to achieve fast acquisitions. A new synchronizer using multiple acquisition detection ...

Internet traffic is increasing exponentially, driven by new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and rich streaming media. The traditional IP router becomes a bottleneck for further Internet expansion due to its ...

GPU Computing promises very high performance per watt for highly-parallelizable workloads. Nowadays, there are various programming models developed to utilize the computational power of GPGPUs. Low-level programming ...

Wideband beamforming have been widely used in modern radar systems. One of the powerful wideband beamforming techniques that is capable of achieving a high selectivity over a wide bandwidth is the nested array (NA) beamformer. ...

Wireless communications have recently gained much popularity in various commercial applications. Because of the peculiar characteristic of radio channels, the ability for communicators to stand various kinds of interference ...

A plethora of application scenarios are rapidly emerging within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) in possibly every industrial and market vertical. Accordingly, the wireless infrastructure should be able to ...

Microprocessor architecture has changed significantly since Intel Corporation developed the first commercial computer chip in the 1970s. The modern processors are much smaller and more powerful than their predecessors. ...
