  • Widin Jacquie (Multilingual Matters, 2010)
    ELT education, as a commodity, takes many forms in countries all over the world. This book questions how the benefits of international English language education projects are distributed. The critical issues of language ...
  • Obeng-Odoom Franklin (Taylor and Francis, 2011)
    Increasing urbanisation, wealth and ill health in cities necessitate careful study, especially in African cities whose development is widely regarded as rapid and chaotic. Using Ghanaian cities as a case study, this article ...
  • Urlic K; Davidson Patricia; Digiacomo Michelle (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia, 2007)
    Research objective: To explore illness perceptions of women following acute myocardial infarction. Design: Qualitative. Setting: Three district general hospitals in south-east England. Participants: Purposive sample of 10 ...
  • Benjamin Andrew (Arena Publications Association, 2006)
  • Pandolfo Berto (Chifley Plaza, 2008)
    ILT - table light. Materials - acrylic and aluminium. The ILT light is the result of a research project into cold-forming acrylic sheet. Cold-forming is the ability to create form without the need for moulds or external ...
  • Gao Xinbo; Xiao Bing; Tao Dacheng; Li Xuelong (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008)
    This paper presents a novel algorithm for computing graph edit distance (GED) in image categorization. This algorithm is purely structural, i.e., it needs only connectivity structure of the graph and does not draw on node ...

  • Shukran Mohd; Chung Yuk; Yeh Wei-Chang; Wahid Noorhaniza; Zaidi Ahmad (Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2011)
    Image classification is becoming ever more important as the amount of available multimedia data increases. With the rapid growth in the number of images, there is an increasing demand for effective and efficient image ...
  • Hintz Thomas; Wu Qiang (CSREA Press, 2003)
    Spiral Architecture is a new and powerful approach to a general-purpose machine vision system. Earlier research on the Spiral Architecture focused on the properties of undistorted translation, rotation and scaling. The ...
  • Kwok Ngai; Jia Xiuping; Wang D; Chen S; Ha Quang; Fang Gu (IEEE, 2010)
    Image contrast enhancement is a fundamental and important pre-processing stage in the application of image processing techniques. Among revenues of possible approaches, histogram equalization is a popular and attractive ...
  • Chen Xiaogang; Yang Jie; Wu Qiang (SPIE Digital Library, 2010)
    This paper proposes a new method for natural-image deblur based on a single blurred image. The natural image prior, a sparse gradient distribution, is enforced using a gradient histogram remapping method in the proposed ...
  • Hintz Thomas; Wu Qiang; He Xiangjian (University of West Bohemia, 2001)
    Detection of edge points of 3-dimensional physical objects in a 2-dimensional image is one of the main research areas of computer vision. Object contour detection and object recognition rely heavily on edge detection. ...
  • Moore Ciaran; Arnold Matthew; Bones Philip; Blaikie Richard (Optical Society of America, 2008)
  • Jia Wenjing; Zhang Huaifeng; He Xiangjian; Wu Qiang (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2006)
    In this paper, a novel colour edge cooccurrence histogram (CECH) method is proposed to match images by measuring similarities between their CECH histograms. Unlike the previous colour edge cooccurrence histogram proposed ...
  • Wu Qiang; He Xiangjian (Information Science Reference (an imprint of IGI Global), 2010)
    Spiral Architecture is a relatively new and powerful approach to image processing. It contains very useful geometric and algebraic properties. Based on the abundant research achievements in the past decades, it is shown ...
  • Gao Xinbo; Lu Wen; Tao Dacheng; Li Xuelong (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2009)
    Reduced-reference (RR) image quality assessment (IQA) has been recognized as an effective and efficient way to predict the visual quality of distorted images. The current standard is the wavelet-domain natural image ...
  • He Lihuo; Gao Xinbo; Lu Wen; Li Xuelong; Tao Dacheng (Springer London Ltd, 2011)
    This paper proposes a new image quality assessment framework which is based on color perceptual model. By analyzing the shortages of the existing image quality assessment methods and combining the color perceptual model, ...
  • Lu Wen; Gao Xinbo; Li Xuelong; Tao Dacheng (IEEE, 2008)
    In reduced-reference (RR) image quality assessment (IQA), the visual quality of distorted images is evaluated with only partial information extracted from original images. In this paper, by considering the information of ...
  • Song Mingli; Tao Dacheng; Liu Zicheng; Li Xuelong; Zhou Mengchu (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2010)
    Video-based facial expression recognition is a challenging problem in computer vision and human-computer interaction. To target this problem, texture features have been extracted and widely used, because they can capture ...
