Lincoln Sea and Nares Strait

A winter phenomenon of ice break-up takes place in Lincoln Sea every year. A previous study based on ERS-1 SAR data has been resumed based on Radarsat data that is briefly reported here. The study of two winters, 1996-1997 and 1997-1998, is supported by wind data. It is found that the ice motion in the area often is driven by wind but also that it is seriously influenced by blocking at the entr...

Medical Image Understanding and Analysis - MIUA 2015. 19th Annual Conference, University of Lincoln, Lincoln, UK, July 15-17, 2015

The fusion between an endoscopic movie and a CT poses a special surface registration problem. The surface extracted from CT is complete and accurate, whereas the surface extracted from endoscopy suffers from serious missing patches and topology change. We propose a surface registration method, Thin Shell Demons, that is robust under these two situations. Motivated by Thirion’s Demons idea, the ...

Tied Mixtures in the Lincoln Robust CSR

HMM recognizers using either a single Gaussian or a Gaussian mixture per state have been shown to work fairly well for 1000-word vocabulary continuous speech recognition. However, the large number of Gaussians required to cover the entire English language makes these systems unwieldy for large vocabulary tasks. Tied mixtures offer a more compact way of representing the observation pdf's. We hav...
