Dirt and Sparkle Detection for Film Sequences
(2009)
Gaughran, Peter; Bergin, Susan; Reilly, Ronan
Dirt and Sparkle Detection for Film Sequences
(2009)
Gaughran, Peter; Bergin, Susan; Reilly, Ronan
Abstract:
Until recently, filming has been an analogue process; it requires a mechanical process to record and view, and the source material itself is prone to decay & abrasion [1]. Film is expensive to store, and prohibitively expensive to restore. All footage - historical, documentary or entertainment – may completely degrade over time. While many archival films stocks are currently being scanned and further damage thus prevented, the digital copies are far from the quality of the original. The types of aberrations found are varied, from frame jitter and line scratches to dirt and sparkle. It is the detection of the latter two (which are frame based abnormalities) that will be examined here.

Feedback Control Models and Their Application in Pedestrian Navigation Systems
(2009)
Yan, Lei; Pan, Zheng; Winstanley, Adam C.; Fotheringham, Stewart; Zheng, Jianghua
Abstract:
Feedback control theory has been widely used in many fields; this paper introduces this theory into a model for a pedestrian navigation system. Based on the model, several feedback channels are designed and analysed using control theory. The pedestrian is not only a data receiver but also a data collector. All collected information is stored in a temporal database and can be used for spatial-temporal analysis. At the same time, feedback control theory can integrate all modules of the system as whole, which can help to improve the overall effectiveness. Based on information fed back and feedback control theory, the pedestrian navigation system will help users to "see more, understand better, and decide more quickly."

Segmentation and three-dimensional visualisation of digital in-line holographic microscopy data
(2009)
Molony, Karen M.; Naughton, Thomas J.
Abstract:
This paper demonstrates that transmissive or partially transmissive scenes imaged by digital in-line holographic microscopy (DIHM) can be reconstructed as a threedimensional (3-D) model of the imaged volume from a single capture. This process entails numerical reconstruction, segmentation and polygonisation. Numerical reconstruction of a digital hologram captured using a DIHM set up is performed at equally spaced depths within a range. In the case of intensity modulating objects, segmentation of each of the reconstructed intensity images produces a contour slice of the scene by applying an adaptive threshold and border following. These slices are visualised in 3-D by polygonising the data using the marching cubes algorithm. We present experimental results for a real world DIHM capture of a partially transmissive scene that demonstrates the steps in this process.

A Definition of the Chidamber and Kemerer Metrics suite for UML. Technical Report NUIM-CS-TR-2006-03
(2006)
McQuillan, Jacqueline A.; Power, James F.
Abstract:
Since there is no standard formalism for defining software metrics, many of the measures that exist have some ambiguity in their definitions which hinders their comparison and implementation. We address this problem by presenting an approach for defining software metrics. This approach is based on expressing the measures as Object Constraint Language queries over a language metamodel. To illustrate the approach, we specify how the Chidamber and Kemerer metrics suite can be measured from Unified Modelling Language class diagrams by presenting formal definitions for these metrics using the Unified Modelling Language 2.0 metamodel.

Curricular responses to computer science provision in schools: current provision and alternative possibilities
(2020)
McGarr, Oliver; Johnston, Keith T.
Abstract:
The full text of this article will not be available in ULIR until the embargo expires on the 20/03/2022
This paper explores the rationales underpinning the introduction of Computer Science (CS) into school curricula and examines the ways in which educational systems have responded to these growing calls. In outlining the possible ways that educational systems can respond to this demand, the paper makes use of a conceptual framework through which the various possibilities for the provision of CS in school curricula can be categorised. The paper analyses and discusses possible modes of provision identifying the benefits and drawbacks of different approaches. Through this development, the paper aims to raise wider questions about the long-term positioning of CS within the curriculum and draws particular attention to the need for greater consideration of provision at lower secondary level.

Computational Thinking in Secondary Education: Where does it fit? A systematic literary review
(2018)
Lockwood, James; Mooney, Aidan
Abstract:
Computational Thinking has been described as an essential skill which everybody should learn. Since Wing popularised the term in 2006 increased focus and attention have been placed on Computational Thinking. The first aim of this systematic literary review is to give second-level educators, who are considering incorporating Computational Thinking into their classrooms, ideas and options about how to achieve this. The hope is also to present reasons as to why it is beneficial to teach Computational Thinking, along with potential issues. Secondly, we aim to present education researchers with an overview of what work has been carried out in the domain, as well as potential gaps that still exist. Thirdly, this is the first stage in a longer-term project to develop a Computational Thinking based curriculum which is taught using Computer Science. It is hoped that the problems and ideas that are presented here will underpin this curriculum.

An investigation of gender differences in Computer Science using Physiological, Psychological and Behavioural metrics
(2019)
Nolan, Keith; Mooney, Aidan; Bergin, Susan
Abstract:
Gender imbalance in tertiary Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) courses is a cause for concern globally. Current estimates of this imbalance are ~70:30 male to female. Within the CS education field numerous studies have investigated the cause of this imbalance (e.g. misconceptions of CS, stereotypes, etc.) and have attempted to identify factors that influence uptake, retention, and performance. Whilst these studies have had varying degrees of success, none appear to have investigated in-the-moment physiological differences between genders during module examinations. Such research could provide new insight on how male and female students process and respond in such a setting and provide new opportunities to better tailor module delivery and assessment. This paper describes a novel study that investigates gender differences in skin conductance and heart rate variability during a controlled exam-like setting. Participant background information such as gender, age, pr...

Limitations of Scientific Ontology

Limitations of Scientific Ontology
(1992)
Vernon, David; Furlong, Dermot
Abstract:
TCD-CS-92-07
Artificial life is a new multi-disciplinary science which is emerging from established practices in artificial intelligence, computational biology, and cybernetics. It is argued in this paper that conventional scientific concepts of being and existence, i.e. ontology, which underpin most of our attempts to create artificial life and intelligent systems, are inadequate to deal with these issues. It is argued that the current, pervasive and popular, positivistic philosophy of science is wholly inadequate when we come to deal with the issue of artificial life. However, by extending our ontological basis, specifically by incorporating a relativistic ontology (supporting a continuum of existence and being) we argue that the problem concerning the possibility of the creation of artificial life becomes tractable but not necessarily solvable. We argue that this approach lends itself to the development of usefully adaptive systmes which can, in effect, simulate the intellige...

Evolving critical systems: a research agenda for computer-based systems.
(2010)
Hinchey, Mike; Coyle, Lorcan
Abstract:
Increasingly software can be considered to be critical,due to the business or other functionality which it supports. Upgrades or changes to such software are expensive and risky, primarily because the software has not been designed and built for ease of change. Expertise, tools and methodologies which support the design and implementation of software systems that evolve without risk (of failure or loss of quality) are essential. We address a research agenda for building software in computer-based systems that (a) is highly reliable and (b) retains this reliability as it evolves, either over time or at run-time.

Evaluating the perception of virtual characters by manipulating components of their physical appearance
(2017)
ZIBREK, KATJA
Abstract:
This work explores the possibilities of studying the perception of 3D generated (virtual) based on the knowledge of perceptual organisation and methods used to study human behaviour. Our main intention is to present studies which explore responses towards virtual characters by manipulating specific components of their appearance. The literature on virtual characters presents some examples on how appearance could affect the perceiver's response. The most well-known phenomenon is the so called ?Uncanny Valley? which describes the loss in appeal and increase in eeriness when the virtual character reaches a certain level of detail, closely resembling a human being. The research has since shown that the concept of uncanny valley is not as clear as proposed by Mori (1970) and some methodological and conceptual discrepancies have been revealed. In addition, disinterest and lack of appeal can be found in the responses to non-realistic characters as well. While virtual characters are be...

Collaborative computer personalities in the game of chess
(2002)
Haran, Aidan
Abstract:
Computer chess has played a crucial role in Artificial Intelligence research since the creation of the modem computer. It has gained this prominent position due to the large domain that it encompasses, including psychology, philosophy and computer science. The new and innovative techniques initially created for computer chess have often been successfully transferred to other divergent research areas such as theorem provers and economic models. The progress achieved by computers in the game of chess has been illustrated by Deep Blue’s famous victory over Garry Kasparov in 1997. However, further improvements are required if more complex problems are to be solved. In 1999 the Kasparov versus the World match took place over the Internet. The match allowed chess players from around the world to collaborate in a single game of chess against the then world champion, Garry Kasparov. The game was closely fought with Kasparov coming out on top. One of the most surprising aspects of the conte...

Analogue Dynamics Engine (ADE)
(2005)
Woulfe, Muiris
Abstract:
This report outlines the design and implementation of the Analogue Dynamics Engine (ADE). The ADE is a physics engine constructed from a hybrid, analogue and digital, computer. Software physics engines are becoming increasingly common in computer games, and the ADE was designed as a hardware equivalent to these software engines. Analogue computers, although currently rare, have useful properties such as their ability to evaluate functions in realtime. The physics engine exploits this functionality while using digital components to provide reconfigurability.
The core hybrid computer was constructed by connecting twenty nine custom designed reconfigurable analogue cells to thirty two bus lines, using programmable interconnect. Each cell can perform inversion, integration, addition and multiplication. At the periphery of this computer lie two ADCs and two DACs, so that the hybrid computer may provide a digital interface.
In order to make the engine suitable for use with games, ...

Efficient GPU usage for rendering of Volume Data
(2020)
GANTER, DAVID
Abstract:
Visualising medical images or scientific data that can be shown in 3D poses some interesting challenges. This thesis investigates two distinct areas of Direct Volume Rendering (DVR); time-varying datasets on emerging light-field displays, and acceleration data-structures for large, static datasets. Firstly, a novel method to efficiently display volume data that changes over time (time-varying) on emerging display technologies is shown to improve upon traditional techniques in the field. The second main focus is acceleration data-structures in the context of volume rendering. The attention is on how particular acceleration data-structures are used in current DVR approaches and why Bounding Volume Hierarchies (BVHs) haven t been the method of choice for large-scale volume rendering. This thesis provides an insightful look at how new hardware implementations in consumer products impact on DVR, and how this may change the adoption of BVHs in this area. Results show that BVHs coupled wit...

Effective Index-Mapping of Quantized Values for Low-Precision Neural Networks on Power-Efficient Embedded Devices
(2020)
HUNTER, IAN FREDERICK
Abstract:
Neural networks are sets of algorithms that together can approximate general functions. To approximate a function, the network must first be trained by a framework that can give informed feedback to reinforce correct predictions. As these function approximations can be trained ahead of time, neural networks are often used for work that will have previously unseen inputs such as those seen in the field of Computer Vision. The Intel? Movidius Myriad VPU is an embedded processor that is integrated into many hand-held and battery powered devices. In Intel? Movidius s latest processor, a hardware component was included to accelerate neural network software. In this thesis, we explore a particular feature of this hardware component An index mapping of the neural network s intermediary and trained values. We propose several new approaches to configuring this component and how they could be used to improve classification rates for very low precision networks. Of particular note,...

Facial Animation Pipeline Optimisation with Blendshape Importance Ordering and Perceptual Metrics
(2020)
CARRIGAN, EMMA VIOLET
Abstract:
The quality of realistic virtual human faces has increased in recent years with the availability of new technologies such as photogrammetry systems to scan actors and reproduce their shape and texture digitally with minute detail, improved motion capture to allow for the recording of intricate facial movements, and new game engines which allow for the real-time rendering of complex structures and materials such as the human eye. All of these combined have led to an intensely high level of quality in virtual characters, but the added complexity of these technologies has increased the amount of time, money, and effort needed to create them, with a significant increase in the computational power and memory required due to the high level of detail. The goal of this thesis is to review the facial animation pipeline, identify areas to optimise, and create new methods and algorithms to assist in the creation of high-quality, realistic facial animation. The current industry standard for th...

Spatial sound for computer games and virtual reality
(2011)
Murphy, David; Neff, Flaithrí
Abstract:
In this chapter, we discuss spatial sound within the context of Virtual Reality and other synthetic environments such as computer games. We review current audio technologies, sound constraints within immersive multi-modal spaces, and future trends. The review process takes into consideration the wide-varying levels of audio sophistication in the gaming and VR industries, ranging from standard stereo output to Head Related Transfer Function implementation. The level of sophistication is determined mostly by hardware/system constraints (such as mobile devices or network limitations), however audio practitioners are developing novel and diverse methods to overcome many of these challenges. No matter what approach is employed, the primary objectives are very similar—the enhancement of the virtual scene and the enrichment of the user experience. We discuss how successful various audio technologies are in achieving these objectives, how they fall short, and how they are aligned to overcom...

CLARKE, EMMA LOUISE
Abstract:
Digital humanities research, by its nature, is collaborative and interdisciplinary. A key aim when undertaking cross-disciplinary research is to integrate insights from two or more distinct disciplines using both formal and informal methodologies to achieve effective knowledge transfer. Such collaboration can lead to new ideas, creative solutions and innovation within both disciplines, in a way not possible within single discipline research and work. Whilst collaboration happens regularly in academic, creative and work environments, methods of cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer in interdisciplinary research are not often documented. This thesis explores synergies between the linguistics discipline and the extensive science around machine language translation. While both disciplines have their own distinct approach to solving problems, combining these disparate skills within a particular application affords exciting opportunities to develop. The multi-step relo-KT process was de...

Teaching operating systems concepts with SystemTap
(2017)
O'Brien, Darragh
Abstract:
The study of operating systems is a fundamental component of all undergraduate computer science degree programmes. Making operating system concepts concrete typically entails large programming projects. Such projects traditionally involve enhancing an existing module in a real-world operating system or extending a pedagogical operating system. The latter programming projects represent the gold standard in the teaching of operating systems and their value is undoubted. However, there is room in introductory operating systems courses for supplementary approaches and tools that support the demonstration of operating system concepts in the context of a live, real-world operating system. This paper describes an approach where the Linux monitoring tool SystemTap is used to capture kernel-level events in order to illustrate, with concrete examples, operating system concepts in the areas of scheduling, file system implementation and memory management. For instructors and students (where oft...

<teiPublisher>: Bridging the Gap Between a Simple Set of Structured Documents and a Functional Digital Library
(2004)
SCHREIBMAN, SUSAN
Abstract:
Digital Libraries are complex systems that take a long time to create and tailor to specific requirements [1]. Their implementation requires special- ized computer skills, which are not usually found within humanities text encod- ing projects. Many encoders working on text encoding projects find they cannot take their work to the next level by transforming their collections of structured XML [2] texts into a publishable web sear chable and browsable service. Most often these teams find the way to encode their texts with a high degree of so- phistication, but unless they have funds to hire computer programmers their col- lections remain on local disk storage away from public access. <teiPublisher> is a novel tool designed with the aim of bridging the gap between simply having a collection of structured documents and having a functional digital library for public access via the web. The goal of this project is to build the tools to man- age an extensible, modular and confi gurab...

Statistical framework for multi sensor fusion and 3D reconstruction

Ruttle, Jonathan
Abstract:
THESIS 10044
Multi-view 3D reconstruction is an area of computer vision where multiple images are taken of an object and information in those images is used to generate a 3D model describing the shape and size of that object. The ability to automatically generate 3D models of objects has many uses from content creation for games to object recognition and is a first step in many other computer vision tasks like markerless motion capture. In this thesis a new framework to achieve 3D reconstruction is presented. This framework is based on the generalised Radon transform and is linked to kernel density estimation. A new smooth differentiable function is defined that can be optimised using gradient ascent algorithms. The framework is applied to two applications; firstly to computing the visual hull, a 3D reconstruction from multiple silhouettes and secondly, to generate a 3D reconstruction from depth information. The framework is capable of overcoming the considerable noise present i...

Programming: Factors that Influence Success
(2005)
Bergin, Susan; Reilly, Ronan
Abstract:
This paper documents a study, carried out in the academic year 2003-2004, on fifteen factors that may influence performance on a first year object-oriented programming module. The factors included prior academic experience, prior computer experience, self-perception of programming performance and comfort level on the module and specific cognitive skills. The study found that a student's perception of their understanding of the module had the strongest correlation with programming performance, r=0.76, p‹0.01. In addition, Leaving Certificate (LC) mathematics and science scores were shown to have a strong correlation with performance. A regression module, based upon a student's perception of their understanding of the module, gender, LC mathematics score and comfort level was able to account for 79% of the variance in programming performance results.

Abstract:
Research and experimentation on live hyperscale clouds is limited by their scale, complexity, value and and issues of commercial sensitivity. As a result, there has been an increase in the development, adaptation and extension of cloud simulation platforms for cloud computing to enable enterprises, application developers and researchers to undertake both testing and experimentation. While there have been numerous surveys of cloud simulation platforms and their features, few surveys examine how these cloud simulation platforms are being used for research purposes. This paper provides a preliminary systematic review of literature on this topic covering 256 papers from 2009 to 2016. The paper aims to provide insights into the current status of cloud computing research using open source cloud simulation platforms. Our two-level analysis scheme includes a descriptive and synthetic analysis against a highly cited taxonomy of cloud computing. The analysis uncovers some imbalances in resear...

Keeling, Paul J
Abstract:
This thesis presents research performed to mvestigate the potential offered by the Internet for the implementation of an Engineering Computer-Aided Learning (CAL) environment. The research comprises two categories, a detailed literature survey of CAL and its application through the medium of the Internet environment. As a direct result of the literature survey, the scope of CAL can be considered to comprise the use of text, graphics, animations and sound. It is through the use of the CAL media that the true power of computer-aided education can be realized. The research performed focuses on student motivation, with emphasis placed on the educational environment. The Internet as a CAL environment was chosen for evaluation in this thesis due to its ability to convey information in a variety of contexts to any student with Internet access Courseware was developed for the M Eng (Masters in Engineering) program, specifically in the field of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) ANNs lend t...

The computer sector in Irish manufacturing: past triumphs, present strains, future challenges

Bradley, John
Abstract:
The health of the computer sector has come to symbolise the modernisation and rapid growth of the Irish economy during the 1990s. Any threats to its sustainability strike at the heart of broader economic and industrial strategy. After a brief statistical overview, this paper examines the wider strategic factors that facilitated the rise of the Irish computer ?agglomeration?. It describes how domestic policy evolved within a series of coherent frameworks that took account of the nature of the external environment (opportunities and threats) as well as realistic views of domestic capabilities (strengths and weaknesses). Within these frameworks, the decisions of individual policymakers shaped an industrial strategy that took decades to bear fruit and was a key contribution to bringing about convergence to EU standards of living. The paper also explores the likely future of the Irish computer sector, as it attempts to deal with an unfolding recession that started in the United States, t...
