Abstract:

Objective. There are currently no recommendations on the use of surveillance mammography for women who have undergone breast reconstruction following mastectomy. The objective of this study is to address the needs of this population of women with regards to the inclusion of ipsilateral surveillance mammography in their regular surveillance. Methods. A multimethod approach including (1) a systematic review, (2) a population based cohort study, and (3) an economic analysis was conducted to evaluate this issue. Results. The systematic review found only case reports and case series' addressing the

Abstract:

Automatic Face Recognition (AFR) can be useful in the forensic field when identifying people in surveillance footage. In AFR systems it is common to use deep neural networks which perform well if the quality of the images keeps a certain level. This is a problem when applying AFR on surveillance data since the quality of those images can be very poor. In this thesis the CNN FaceNet has been used to evaluate how different quality parameters influence the accuracy of the face recognition. The goal is to be able to draw conclusions about how to improve the recognition by using and avoiding certai

Abstract:

Multiple object tracking is the process of assigning unique and consistent identities to objects throughout a video sequence. A popular approach to multiple object tracking, and object tracking in general, is to use a method called tracking-by-detection. Tracking-by-detection is a two-stage procedure: an object detection algorithm first detects objects in a frame, these objects are then associated with already tracked objects by a tracking algorithm. One of the main concerns of this thesis is to investigate how different object detection algorithms perform on surveillance video supplied by Nat

If T. indica were to become established in Australia it would cause considerable damage to the country’s economy through loss of domestic

Abstract:

The health care burden associated with childhood injury is huge. Surveillance--the collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data--is seen as an important step towards understanding and controlling the injury problem. The usefulness of surveillance data, however, depends on their quality. Quality may be defined as the collection of reliable and valid data along with an unbiased capture of events. (An important issue in paediatric injury surveillance is that proxy respondents are often used to provide data on behalf of the child.) Previous evaluations of paediatric injury surve
