Abstract:
In this thesis, a target detection technique using a rotational invariant wavelet-based scheme is presented. The technique is evaluated on Synthetic Aperture Rader (SAR) imaging and compared with a previously developed fractal-based technique, namely the extended fractal (EF) model. Both techniques attempt to exploit the textural characteristics of SAR imagery. Recently, a wavelet-based fractal feature set, similar to the proposed one, was compared with the EF feature for a general texture classification problem. The wavelet-based technique yielded a lower classification error than EF, which m

Abstract:
Human face recognition is an important area in the field of biometrics. It has been an active area of research for several decades, but still remains a challenging problem because of the complexity of the human face. In this thesis we describe fully automatic solutions that can locate faces and then perform identification and verification. We present a solution for face localisation using eye locations. We derive an efficient representation for the decision hyperplane of linear and nonlinear Support Vector Machines (SVMs). For this we introduce the novel concept of $\rho$ and $\eta$ prototypes

Abstract:
The work presented here addresses an important topic in thermal radiation detection when gold-black is used as an absorber. Sought is a model to simulate the absorption of thermal radiation by gold-black. Fractal geometry is created to simulate the topology of gold-black. Then electrical circuits based on the topology are identified that capture the physics of the interaction between the gold-black material and incident electro-magnetic radiation. Parameters of the model are then adjusted so results obtained are comparable to absorption data from the literature. Potential next-generat

Abstract:
Research into automatic retina image analysis has become increasingly important, not just in ophthalmology but also in other clinical specialities such as cardiology and neurology. In the retina, blood vessels can be directly visualised non-invasively in-vivo, and hence it serves as a "window" to cardiovascular and neurovascular complications. Biomarker research, i.e. investigating associations between the morphology of the retinal vasculature (as a means of revealing microvascular health or disease) and particular conditions affecting the body or brain could play an important role in detectin

The use of fractal-based methods in imaging was first popularized with fractal image compression in the early 1990s. In this application, one seeks to approximate a given target image by the fixed point of a contractive operator called the fractal transform. Typically, one uses Local Iterated Function Systems with Grey-Level Maps (LIFSM), where the involved functions map a parent (domain) block in an image to a smaller child (range) block and the grey-level maps adjust the shading of the shrunken block. The fractal transform is defined by the collection of optimal parent-child pairings and pa
