The influence of visual search upon subsequent change detection (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Thompson, C., & Crundall, D. (2007, July). The influence of visual search upon subsequent change detection. Poster presented at Joint Meeting of the Experimental Psychology Society and the Psychonomic Society, Edinburgh, UK

The top-down allocation of attention is based on the goals of the observer, however there is an argument that attention may also be affected by implicit processes. Two experiments paired a visual search task with a change detection task to evaluate t... Read More about The influence of visual search upon subsequent change detection.

An efficient dual-time implicit method for high-lift aerodynamics using differential Reynolds-stress modelling (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Jahangirian, A., & Johnston, L. (2007, July). An efficient dual-time implicit method for high-lift aerodynamics using differential Reynolds-stress modelling. Presented at 2nd European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences, Brussels, Belgium

A method to compute the aerodynamics of multi-element aerofoil, high-lift systems is outlined. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved using an unstructured-grid approach, together with a finite-volume spatial discretisation and a du...

The evaluation of camera motion, defocusing and noise immunity for linear appearance based methods in face recognition (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Hajiarbabi, M., Askari, J., Sadri, S., & Saraee, M. (2007, July). The evaluation of camera motion, defocusing and noise immunity for linear appearance based methods in face recognition. Presented at World Congress on Engineering 2007 Vol I WCE 2007, July 2 - 4, 2007, London, U.K, London, U.K

Face recognition has assigned a special place to itself because of its low intrusiveness, low cost and effort and acceptable accuracy. There are several methods for recognition and appearance based methods is one of the most popular one. Unfortunatel...
