    • A Deep Learning Approach to No-Reference Image Quality Assessment For Monte Carlo Rendered Images 

      Whittle, Joss; Jones, Mark W. (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      In Full-Reference Image Quality Assessment (FR-IQA) images are compared with ground truth images that are known to be of high visual quality. These metrics are utilized in order to rank algorithms under test on their image ...
    • Groupwise Non-rigid Image Alignment With Graph-based Initialisation 

      Aal-Yhia, Ahmad; Malcolm, Paul; Akanyeti, Otar; Zwiggelaar, Reyer; Tiddeman, Bernard (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Groupwise image alignment automatically provides non-rigid registration across a set of images. It has found applications in facial image analysis and medical image analysis by automatically generating statistical models ...
    • Combining Accumulated Frame Differencing and Corner Detection for Motion Detection 

      Algethami, Nahlah; Redfern, Sam (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Detecting and tracking people in a meeting room is very important for many applications. In order to detect people in a meeting room with no prior knowledge (e.g. background model) and regardless of whether their motion ...
    • Topological Connected Chain Modelling for Classification of Mammographic Microcalcification 

      George, Minu; Denton, Erika R. E.; Zwiggelaar, Reyer (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Breast cancer continues to be the most common type of cancer among women. Early detection of breast cancer is key to effective treatment. The presence of clusters of fine, granular microcalcifications in mammographic images ...
