A geometric routing scheme in word-metric spaces for data networks
This research work explores the use of the Greedy Geometric Routing (GGR) schemes to solve the scalability problem of the routing systems in Internet-like networks and several families of Data Center architectures. We ...
Automated detection of new multiple sclerosis lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance imaging
This thesis deals with the detection of new multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This disease is characterized by the presence of lesions in the brain, predominantly in the ...
Automatic source detection in astronomical images
The use of automatic algorithms to detect astronomical sources (stars, galaxies, gas, dust or cosmic rays) becomes of great importance because of the increasing amount of astronomical images and the inefficiency and ...
Automatic change detection in multiple pigmented skin lesions
Malignant melanoma is the rarest and deadliest of skin cancers causing three times more deaths than all other skin-related malignancies combined. Fortunately, in its early stages, it is completely curable, making a total ...
Surface reconstruction methods for seafloor modelling
Underwater maps are an important source of information for the scientific community, since mapping the seafloor is the starting point for underwater exploration. The advance of range scanning methodologies (both acoustic ...
Sonar scan matching for simultaneous localization and mapping in confined underwater environments
This thesis presents the development of a localization and mapping algorithm for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). It is based on probabilistic scan matching of raw sonar scans within a pose-based simultaneous ...
Coverage path planning for autonomous underwater vehicles
This thesis proposes new methods to find collision-free paths allowing an AUV to cover an area of the ocean floor with its sensors, which is known as coverage path planning. First, we propose a coverage path planning method ...
Automated underwater object classification using optical imagery
This thesis addresses the problem of automated underwater optical image characterization. Remote underwater optical sensing allows the collection and storage of vast amounts of data for which manual classification may take ...
Computer-aided lesion detection and segmentation on breast ultrasound
This thesis deals with the detection, segmentation and classification of lesions on sonography. The contribution of the thesis is the development of a new Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) framework capable of detecting, ...
Deformable object segmentation in ultra-sound images
This thesis analyses the current strategies to segment breast lesions in Ultra-Sound (US) data and proposes a fully automatic methodology for generating accurate segmentations of breast lesions in US data with low false ...
Framework for detection, assessment and assistance of university students with dyslexia and/or reading difficulties
During the past years, the adoption of Learning Management System (LMS) to support an e-learning process has been continuously growing. Hence, a potential need and meaningful factor to provide a personalized support, within ...
Atlas-based segmentation of multiple sclerosis lesions in magnetic resonance imaging
This thesis deals with the segmentation of brain magnetic resonance imaging applied to multiple sclerosis patients. This disease is characterised by the presence of white matter lesions in this image modality. After a ...
Simultaneous detection and segmentation for generic objects
This thesis deals with the simultaneous detection and segmentation for generic objects in images. The proposed approach is based on building a dictionary of patches, which defines the object and allows the extraction of ...
Learning design implementation in context-aware and adaptive mobile learning
Mobile learning (m-learning) is still in its infancy, and great efforts should be made so as to investigate the potentials of an educational paradigm shift from the traditional one-size-fits-all teaching approaches to an ...
Image blending techniques and their application in underwater mosaicing
The fusion of several images of the same scene into a single and larger composite is known as photo-mosaic. Unfortunately, the seams along image boundaries are often noticeable, due to photometrical and geometrical ...
Robust image segmentation applied to magnetic resonance and ultrasound images of the prostate
Prostate segmentation in trans rectal ultrasound (TRUS) and magnetic resonance images (MRI) facilitates volume estimation, multi-modal image registration, surgical planing and image guided prostate biopsies. The objective ...
Supporting competence development processes on open learning systems through personalization
This thesis aim for promoting the learning objects economy by offering teacher the possibility of generating adaptive and standardized learning designs. The adaptation of the generated learning design considers two of the ...
MSSPACC: Sistema d'execució paral·lela d'aplicacions amb especulació sobre entorns distribuïts
The research we have conducted has been aimed at developing a new mechanism of extraction and use of parallelism at a high level, based on speculation techniques, in cluster environments. This allows our mechanism to be ...
Medium access control messaging scheme for cognitive radio networks
Cognitive Radio (CR) is one possible option for mitigating the inefficient wireless spectrum distribution that occurs as a result of fixed spectrum allocation. The use of Dynamic Spectrum Access capabilities will potentially ...
One-shot pattern projection for dense and accurate 3D reconstruction in structured light
This thesis focuses on the problem of 3D acquisition using coded structured light (CSL). In CSL, a projected pattern impinges artificial texture onto the object surface, increasing the number of correspondences in the ...
