Three-dimensional statistical shape models for multimodal cardiac image analysis
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECVs) son la principal causa de mortalidad en el mundo Occidental. El interés de prevenir y tratar las ECVs ha desencadenado un rápido desarrollo de los sistemas de adquisición de ...
An ID-based mutually authenticated edge-to-edge security architecture for bridged provider networks to secure layer-2 communications
IEEE standardized a Layer-2 security, named Media Access Control security (MACsec), for interoperability. It provides link-based security through hop-by-hop operation. The link-constrained security of MACsec eliminates the ...
Situated, perceptual, emotive and cognitive music systems: a psychologically grounded approach to interactive music composition
This thesis introduces a novel situated interactive composition system called the SMuSe (for Situated Music Server) that is grounded on principles of modern cognitive science, provides perceptual control of sound synthesis ...
Study of the theoretical bounds and practical limits of time synchronization protocols using an Ethernet FPGA platform
The goal of synchronization is to align/synchronize the time and frequency scales of all nodes within a network. In industrial applications, synchronization enables simultaneous triggering of distributed events and ...
Musical expectation modelling from audio : a causal mid-level approach to predictive representation and learning of spectro-temporal events
We develop in this thesis a computational model of music expectation, which may be one of the most important aspects in music listening. Many phenomenons related to music listening such as preference, surprise or emo- tions ...
Morphological and statistical techniques for the analysis of 3D images
Aquesta tesi proposa una estructura de dades per emmagatzemar imatges tridimensionals. L'estructura da dades té forma d'arbre i codifica les components connexes dels conjunts de nivell de la imatge. Aquesta estructura ...
Large scale image retrieval base on user generated content
Los sistemas online para compartir fotos proporcionan una valiosa fuente de contenidos generado por el usuario (UGC). La mayor a de los sistemas de re- cuperaci on de im agenes Web utilizan las anotaciones textuales ...
A low power listening with wake up after transmissions MAC protocol for WSNs
In the last few years Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become an interesting field of research mainly due to the challenges and constraints of their design and the broad range of potential applications they can provide. ...
Irregularly sampled image resortation and interpolation
The generation of urban digital elevation models from satellite images using stereo reconstruction techniques poses several challenges due to its precision requirements. In this thesis we study three problems related ...
Identification of versions of the same musical composition by processing audio descriptions
This work focuses on the automatic identification of musical piece versions (alternate renditions of the same musical composition like cover songs, live recordings, remixes, etc.). In particular, we propose two core ...
Characterization of information and causality measures for the study of neuronal data
We study two methods of data analysis which are common tools for the analysis of neuronal data. In particular, we examine how causal interactions between brain regions can be investigated using time series reflecting the ...
Visual Exploration of Web Spaces
El gran volumen de datos que las técnicas de minería Web generan sobre espacios Web puede llegar a ser muy difícil de entender, provocando la necesidad de desarrollar nuevas técnicas que permitan generar conocimiento ...
New Heuristics for Planning with Action Costs
Classical planning is the problem of nding a sequence of actions that take an agent from an initial state to a desired goal situation, assuming deter- ministic outcomes for actions and perfect information. Satis cing ...
Generic Neuromorphic Principles of Cognition and Attention for Ants, Humans and Real-world Artefacts: a Comparative Computational Approach
Es considera que la cognició biològica fa servir mecanismes com la predicció, l'anticipació i l'atenció per resoldre tasques complexes. S'ha suggerit que aquests mecanismes es materialitzen en els mamífers a través ...
Methods for face detection and adaptive face recognition
The focus of this thesis is on facial biometrics; specifically in the problems of face detection and face recognition. Despite intensive research over the last 20 years, the technology is not foolproof, which is why we do ...
Virtual Reality based stroke neurorehabilitation: Development and Assessment of the Rehabilitation Gaming System
Donat el nivell d'incidència i impacte de l'ictus, hi ha la necessitat de trobar mètodes de rehabilitació més automatitzats que els actuals. Un candidat prometedor és la Realitat Virtual, on múltiples sistemes ja han estat ...
Time-domain numerical methods in room acoustics simulations
L'acústica de sales s'encarrega de l'estudi del comportament de les ones sonores en espais tancats.La informació acústica de qualsevol entorn, coneguda com la resposta impulsional, pot ser expressada en termes del camp ...
Information processing in the cortex: the relevance of coherent oscillations for neuronal communication
Les oscil·lacions d'activitat neuronal són un fenomen omnipresent a l'escorça cerebral. La funció d'aquestes oscil·lacions, però, no està clara. ¿Són només un epifenomen de les elevades taxes de descàrrega de potencials ...
Translation-based approaches to Conformant Planning
Conformant planning is the problem of finding a sequence of actions for achieving a goal in the presence of uncertainty in the initial state and state transitions. While few practical problems are purely conformant, ...
A cross-layer mechanism for QoS improvements in VoIP over multi-rate WLAN networks
In IEEE 802.11 WLANs, Link Adaptation mechanisms, which choose the transmission rate of each node, provoke unexpected and random variations on the effective channel capacity. When these changes are towards lower bitrates, ...
