In this paper, region based stereo matching algorithms are developed for extraction depth information from two colour stereo image pair of waste bin. Depth calculation technique from a disparity map is a key part of this study. A filter eliminating unreliable disparity estimation was used for...

A novel class of dimension reduction methods is combined with a stochastic multi-factor panel regression-based state-space model in order to model the dynamics of yield curves whilst incorporating regression factors. This is achieved via Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis (PPCA) in which...

This thesis investigates profiling and differentiating customers through the use of statistical data mining techniques. The business application of our work centres on examining individuals’ seldomly studied yet critical consumption behaviour over an extensive time period within the context of...

Semiconductor devices are categorized by the temperature limits that the device manufacturers specify. The usage of high temperature components are common in certain markets, like the military, oil and natural gas exploration, and avionics control systems. However, manufacturers are reducing...
