Conference papers
In order for autonomously navigating Unmanned Air Vehicles(UAVs) to be implemented in day-to-day life, proof of safe operation will be necessary for all realistic navigation scenarios. For Deep Learning powered navigation protocols, this requirement is challenging to fulfil as the performance of a network is impacted by how much the test case deviates from data that the network was trained on. Though networks can generalise to manage multiple scenarios in the same task, they require additional data representing those cases which can be costly to gather. In this work, a solution to this data acquisition problem is suggested by way …
Ensemble Approach To The Semantic Segmentation Of Satellite Images, Brendan Kent
Ensemble Approach To The Semantic Segmentation Of Satellite Images, Brendan Kent
Dissertations
Automatic classification and segmentation of land use land cover(LULC) is extremely important for understanding the relationship between humans and nature. Human pressures on the environment have drastically accelerated in the last decades, risking biodiversity and ecosystem services. Remote sensing via satellite imagery is an excellent tool to study LULC. Research has shown that deep learning encoder-decoder architectures have achieved worthy results in the area of LULC, however the application of an ensemble approach has not been well quantified. Studies have shown it to be useful in the area of medical imaging. Ensembling by pooling together predictions to produce better predictions …

Evaluating The Performance Of Vision Transformer Architecture For Deepfake Image Classification, Devesan Govindasamy
Dissertations
Deepfake classification has seen some impressive results lately, with the experimentation of various deep learning methodologies, researchers were able to design some state-of-the art techniques. This study attempts to use an existing technology “Transformers” in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) which has been a de-facto standard in text processing for the purposes of Computer Vision. Transformers use a mechanism called “self-attention”, which is different from CNN and LSTM. This study uses a novel technique that considers images as 16x16 words (Dosovitskiy et al., 2021) to train a deep neural network with “self-attention” blocks to detect deepfakes. It creates …
Evaluation Of Automated Eye Blink Artefact Removal Using Stacked Dense Autoencoder, Matthew Rigney
Evaluation Of Automated Eye Blink Artefact Removal Using Stacked Dense Autoencoder, Matthew Rigney
Dissertations
The presence of artefacts in Electroencephalograph (EEG) signals can have a considerable impact on the information they portray. In this comparative study, the automated removal of eye blink artefacts using the constrained latent representation of a stacked dense autoencoders (SDAE) and comparing its ability to that of the manual independent component analysis (ICA) approach was evaluated. A comparative evaluation of 5 stacked dense autoencoder architectures lead to a chosen architecture for which the ability to automatically detect and remove eye blink artefacts were both statistically and humanistically evaluated. The ability of the stacked dense autoencoder was statistically evaluated with the …
Modeling Cognitive Load As A Self-Supervised Brain Rate With Electroencephalography And Deep Learning, Luca Longo
Modeling Cognitive Load As A Self-Supervised Brain Rate With Electroencephalography And Deep Learning, Luca Longo
Articles
The principal reason for measuring mental workload is to quantify the cognitive cost of performing tasks to predict human performance. Unfortunately, a method for assessing mental workload that has general applicability does not exist yet. This is due to the abundance of intuitions and several operational definitions from various fields that disagree about the sources or workload, its attributes, the mechanisms to aggregate these into a general model and their impact on human performance. This research built upon these issues and presents a novel method for mental workload modelling from EEG data employing deep learning. This method is self-supervised, employing …
