In this paper, we propose a novel approach for palmprint identification, which contains two interesting components. Firstly, we propose the directional representation for appearance based approaches. The new representation ...

Improving the computation efficiency is the key issue in image processing, especially in edge detection, because edge detection is very computationally intensive. With the development of real-time image processing ...

Improving Indigenous access to university education has been a major focus in Australia over the last four decades. However, despite success in several areas of recognised priority to the Indigenous community, participation ...

In a bilevel decision problem, decision making may involve multiple followers and fuzzy demands. This research focuses on the problem of fuzzy linear bilevel decision making with multiple followers who share common constraints ...

The paper explores an attempt by a small team of staff within the School of Management at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to transform the only postgraduate third sector management program offered in Australia, ...

This paper conceptualises the development of a Patient Information Management system to assist health care professionals and carers in providing an enhanced level of support to patients. By focusing on throughput analysis ...

A novel approach for walking people detection is proposed in this paper, which is inspired by the idea of gait energy image (GEI). Unlike most of common human detection methods where usually a trained detector scans a ...

If we are to encourage a more diverse range of students to consider engineering as a career option, engineering must be part of the everyday language and awareness of all students, their teachers and parents. They must ...

This paper evaluates the performance of two simple packet scheduling algorithms for real-time traffic in the third generation partnership project long term evolution (3GPP LTE) system. These algorithms, known as Algorithm ...

Detect and Avoid (DAA) is a Cognitive Radio technique for a primary user and secondary users sharing the same spectrum. The DAA spectral sensing system must provide both low decision delay and highly reliable decisions on ...
