This paper and the accompanying video describe Ada, an immersive 160m space for human-machine interaction. Ada is conceived as an artificial organism that plays with its visitors, with multi-modal sensors consisting of pressure-sensitive floor tiles, microphones for localising and recognising sounds, and pan-tilt video cameras called gazers. Her output modalities include a 360o video projection...

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS SCHOOL OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy Irregular Variable Length Coding by Robert G. Maunder In this thesis, we introduce Irregular Variable Length Coding (IrVLC) and investigate its applications, characteristics and performance in the context of digital multimedia broadcast telecommunications. During IrVLC encoding, the m...

The ability to automatically locate and track objects from videos has always been very important in traditional applications such as surveillance, robotics, and object recognition. With the proliferation of digital videos and online multimedia data and the need of content-based multimedia encoding and retrieval, locating and tracking objects in digital videos become ever more important. This th...

In this paper we define the Dupled abstract Tile Assembly Model (DaTAM), which is a slight extension to the abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM) that allows for not only the standard square tiles, but also “duple” tiles which are rectangles pre-formed by the joining of two square tiles. We show that the addition of duples allows for powerful behaviors of self-assembling systems at temperature 1,...

HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is the next-generation video coding standard being jointly developed by the ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG JCT-VC team. In addition to the high coding efficiency, which is expected to provide 50% more bit-rate reduction when compared to H.264/AVC, HEVC has built-in parallel processing tools to address bitrate, pixel-rate and motion estimation (ME) throughput req...

The creation of realistic, complex, and diversified virtual worlds is of utmost importance for video games. Unfortunately the amount of time required to create 3D scene contents can be extremely tedious to graphic artists. While procedural modeling can alleviate this task, it has mostly been developed for specific contexts. In this paper, we study tiling for synthetic worlds, taking into accoun...
