Abstract:
This thesis continues research exploring the benefits of using functional databases based around the functional data model for advanced database applications-particularly those supporting investigative systems. This is a growing generic application domain covering areas such as criminal and military intelligence, which are characterised by significant data complexity, large data sets and the need for high performance, interactive use. An experimental functional database language was developed to provide the requisite semantic richness. However, heavy use in a practical context has shown that l

Abstract:
Existing service matching approaches trade precision for recall, creating the need for humans to choose the correct services, which is a major obstacle for automating the service matching and the service aggregation processes. To overcome this problem, the matchmaker must automatically determine the correctness of the matching results according to the defined users' goals. That is, only service(s)-achieving users' goals are considered correct. This requires the high-level functional semantics of services, users, and application domains to be captured in a machine-understandable format. Also th

Extracting structure from initially incomprehensible streams of events is fundamental to a range of human abilities: from navigating in a new environment to learning a language.

Despite the importance of statistical learning for making perceptual decisions, we know surprisingly little about the brain circuits and how they change when learning temporal regularities.

Abstract:
Contactless ultrasonic power transfer (UPT), using piezoelectric transducers, is based on transferring energy using acoustic waves, in which the waves are generated by an acoustic source or transmitter and then transferred through an acoustic medium such as water or human tissue to a sensor or receiver. The receiver then converts the mechanical strain induced by the incident acoustic waves to electricity and delivers to an electrical load, in which the electrical power output of the system can be determined.

Next, we consider a market with two-sided heterogeneity in which types are only privately observable. We identify a simple condition on the match output function for agents to signal thei

This thesis focuses on the mapping of the microphone array’s response to match the characteristics of a human subject’s Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF).

For arbitrary array geometry with the listener external to the acoustic, the monaural HRTF matching did not provide listeners with enough spatial information to precisely localize sound sources. To correct this, a preprocessor control algorithm was added to the HRTF matching, a ‘binaural HRTF matching

Abstract:
Nous étudions, dans la première partie de notre thèse, les polysimplexes d’un espace euclidien de dimension quelconque, c’est-à-dire les objets consistant en une juxtaposition de simplexes réguliers (de tétraèdres si la dimension est 3) accolés le long de leurs faces. Nous étudions principalement le groupe des symétries de ces polysimplexes. Nous présentons une façon de représenter un polysimplexe à l’aide d’un diagramme. Ceci fournit une classification complète des polysimplexes à similitude près. De plus, le groupe des symétries se déduit du groupe des automorphismes du diagramme. Il découle

Abstract:
In design of bridges and for estimation of dynamic properties and load carrying capacity Finite Element Method (FEM) is often used as a tool. The physical quantities used in the Finite Element (FE) model are often connected to varying degrees of uncertainty. To deal with these uncertainties conservative parameter estimates and safety factors are used. By calibrating the bridge FE model to better fit with the response of the real structure, less conservative parameter values can be chosen. This method of comparing measured and response with estimates from a FE model and calibrating the model par

Abstract:
La solution numérique des systèmes dynamiques est un moyen efficace pour étudier des phénomènes physiques complexes. Cependant, dans un cadre à grande échelle, la dimension du système rend les calculs infaisables en raison des limites de mémoire et de temps, ainsi que le mauvais conditionnement. La solution de ce problème est la réduction de modèles. Cette thèse porte sur les méthodes de projection pour construire efficacement des modèles d'ordre inférieur à partir des systèmes linéaires dynamiques de grande taille. En particulier, nous nous intéressons à la projection sur la réunion de plusie

Em uma tarefa de emparelhamento com o modelo envolvendo duas escolhas, o participante pode aprender tanto a selecionar o estímulo correto (controle por seleção) quanto a rejeitar o estímulo incorreto (controle por rejeição). O presente trabalho investigou o efeito dos controles por seleção e por rejeição sobre a formação de classes de estímulos equivalentes e sobre a transferência de função discriminativa. O Capítulo 1 apresenta uma revisão metodológica que sistematizou os procedimentos utilizados para inferir a ocorrência desses controles, bem como os procedimentos utilizados para manipulá-lo

Abstract:
In this thesis we focus on two different image processing challenges: high dynamic range (HDR) image/video generation, and colour matching. In both cases, we redefine these tasks by taking into account the prior knowledge from the different processes the camera performs when capturing the image. High dynamic range techniques have recently become very popular, thanks to the emergence of HDR recording and displaying technology. We propose two different approaches for HDR creation, one for still images, and one for video creation. In case of still images, most of previous methods follow a multiple ex

Abstract:
<p>Many different approaches have been taken towards solving the stereo correspondence problem and great progress has been made within the field during the last decade. This is mainly thanks to newly evolved global optimization techniques and better ways to compute pixel dissimilarity between views. The most successful algorithms are based on approaches that explicitly model smoothness assumptions made about the physical world, with image segmentation and plane fitting being two frequently used techniques.</p><p>Within the project, a survey of state of the art stereo algorithms was conducted a

Abstract:
La maitrise de modèles de plus en plus complexes en mécanique est une préoccupation constante tant au niveau industriel qu'en recherche. Le problème auquel nous nous intéressons ici concerne le recalage de l'amortissement dans les modèles dynamiques de structures à partir de fonctions de réponses en fréquences. D'une manière plus générale, l'appréciation de la qualité d'un modèle est le problème central. Bien des propositions ont été faites mais peu ont une interprétation mécanique forte ; la méthode développée au LMT, depuis le début des années quatre vingt, est basée sur la notion d'erreur e
