Vhdl Design And Simulation For Embedded Zerotree Wavelet Quantisation, Hung Huynh
Theses : Honours
This thesis discusses a highly effective still image compression algorithm – The Embedded Zerotree Wavelets coding technique, as it is called. This technique is simple but achieves a remarkable result. The image is wavelet-transformed, symbolically coded and successive quantised, therefore the compression and transmission/storage saving can be achieved by utilising the structure of zerotree. The algorithm was first proposed by Jerome M. Shapiro in 1993, however to minimise the memory usage and speeding up the EZW processor, a Depth First Search method is used to transverse across the image rather than Breadth First Search method as initially discussed in Shapiro's …
Virtual Reality And The Modern Ideology Of Order And Control, Craig I. Murrihy
Virtual Reality And The Modern Ideology Of Order And Control, Craig I. Murrihy
Theses : Honours
In this thesis I will examine the construction of the concept of Virtual Reality. I argue that rather than a technology of liberation as it is often perceived, virtual realities' conception has been influenced significantly by a discourse of control and order. I examine books, articles and films concerning Virtual Reality to support this claim. Furthermore this discourse of control and order is born out of a larger ideology of Western culture that values order and control. Throughout modernity this ideology has manifested itself through techniques and technologies of social and environmental control. I provide a brief historical outline highlighting …
Sicnn Optimisation, Two Dimensional Implementation And Comparison, Grant Walker
Sicnn Optimisation, Two Dimensional Implementation And Comparison, Grant Walker
Theses : Honours
The study investigates the process of optimisation, implementation and comparison of a Shunting Inhibitory Cellular Neural Network (SICNN) for Edge Detection. Shunting inhibition is lateral inhibition where the inhibition function is nonlinear. Cellular Neural Networks are locally interconnected nonlinear, parallel networks which can exist as either discrete time or continuous networks. The name given to Cellular Neural Networks that use shunting inhibition as their nonlinear cell interactions are called Shunting Inhibitory Cellular Neural Networks. This project report examines some existing edge detectors and thresholding techniques. Then it describes the optimisation of the connection weight matrix for SICNN with Complementary Output …
An Investigation On Sun Microsystems Jini Technology, Ferdina D. Soeyadi
An Investigation On Sun Microsystems Jini Technology, Ferdina D. Soeyadi
Theses : Honours
Sun Microsystems introduced the JiniTM Technology as its vision of the future in networking, where services can be registered dynamically and he used easily regardless of their location in the network. This is an investigation of feasibility on such claims made by Sun regarding JiniTM and comparisons with the directly similar Universal Plug and Play from Microsoft. The aim is to implement a simple application of the JiniTM Technology in order to demonstrate its capabilities as a contribution to the distributed computing research.
Mapcast : Real-Time Collaboration With Concept Maps, Brett Greay
Mapcast : Real-Time Collaboration With Concept Maps, Brett Greay
Theses : Honours
This thesis describes the development of the application mapCAST, a computer-based concept-mapping tool that allows synchronous collaboration via TCP/IP networks, such as the Internet The useability and feasibility of mapCAST as a computer-based tool was examined and analysed in a real world situation. Results indicate that mapCAST is successful as a collaborative tool in a situations involving knowledge organisation, but lacks certain functionality that many Macintosh users are accustomed to.
