Thesis
Usman, M. Exploiting available domain knowledge to improve the retrieval and recommendation of Digital Cultural Heritage materials. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cultural Heritage (CH) institutions, such as museums, have recently embraced computing techniques to digitise CH materials (artefacts, paintings, books etc) and to make accessible those digital representations through their online portals to millions...

Computer analysis for registration and change detection of retinal images (2021)
Thesis
Elmuntser, A. Computer analysis for registration and change detection of retinal images. (Thesis). University of Salford

The current system of retinal screening is manual; It requires repetitive examination of a large number of retinal images by professional optometrists who try to identify the presence of abnormalities. As a result of the manual and repetitive nature... Read More about Computer analysis for registration and change detection of retinal images.

Document representation refinement for precise region description (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Clausner, C., Pletschacher, S., & Antonacopoulos, A. (2014). Document representation refinement for precise region description. In A. Antonacopoulos, & K. Schulz (Eds.), DATeCH '14: Proceedings of the First International Conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage. https://doi.org/10.1145/2595188.2595198

Precise description of layout entities (content regions on a page) is crucial for all but the most trivial document analysis and recognition applications. The output of layout analysis methods and state-of-the-art OCR systems varies significantly, fr... Read More about Document representation refinement for precise region description.
