A System For The 3d Reconstruction Of The Human Face Using The Structured Light Approach, Dean Mcguire, Prashan Premaratne Jan 2006

A System For The 3d Reconstruction Of The Human Face Using The Structured Light Approach, Dean Mcguire, Prashan Premaratne

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

This paper will describe a computer vision system under development with the aim of use in robust facial recognition applications. The system employs the structured light approach to solve the correspondence problem. The system has been designed with ease of use in mind with calibration procedures designed to be simple enough to be carried out without the use of precision measuring equipment, but robust enough to provide good quality 3D reconstructions. The hardware in use is of consumer grade and is being used in an unmodified form. Early reconstructions of faces based on the projection of a striped pattern have …


Electronic Health Record System Evaluation Based On Patient Safety, Yung-Yu Su, Khin Than Win, John A. Fulcher Jan 2006

Electronic Health Record System Evaluation Based On Patient Safety, Yung-Yu Su, Khin Than Win, John A. Fulcher

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

After describing the general characteristics of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), we consider patient safety. We then proceed to discuss IS evaluation in general terms, followed by HIS system evaluation in particular. The D&M IS Success model, Technology Acceptance model and Task-Technology Fit model are considered as potential candidates for EHR System evaluation. Based upon a critical review of the available literature, we draw some conclusions about the appropriateness of current HIS/EHR evaluation approaches. Finally, we suggest that by incorporating patient safety attributes in any EHR System evaluation framework, then this could lead to improved accuracy, and in turn improved patient …


Investigation Of Large-Scale Washover Of A Small Barrier System On The Southeast Australian Coast Using Ground Penetrating Radar, Brian G. Jones, C Bristow, Adam D. Switzer Jan 2006

Investigation Of Large-Scale Washover Of A Small Barrier System On The Southeast Australian Coast Using Ground Penetrating Radar, Brian G. Jones, C Bristow, Adam D. Switzer

Prehistoric depositional signatures for large-scale washover involving marine inundation events such as storm and tsunami have been the subject of considerable research over the last 15 years. Much of this research has focused on the identification of sand sheets in back-barrier environments as depositional records for extreme washover events. All these deposits must have a sediment source, and by their nature, the most likely source of sediment for washover into back-barrier environments is the barrier itself. This study identifies an erosional signature for large-scale washover from a small coastal barrier on the southeast Australian coast. A distinct lense of marine …
