Image quality metrics based multifocus image fusion
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
We describe an innovative methodology for block based multifocus
image fusion in the spatial domain. The main idea is
to use blind or no reference blur metrics for image fusion applications.
Two blur quality metrics ...
Efficient online WiFi delivery of layered-coding media using inter-layer network coding
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
A primary challenge in multicasting video in a wireless LAN to multiple clients is to deal with the client diversity - clients may have different channel characteristics and hence receive different numbers of transmissions ...
Family Businesses in Qatar: A Study of Select Issues
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Family businesses are considered important drivers of economic growth process since they are credited for nurturing across generations entrepreneurial talent, a sense of loyalty to business success, long-term strategic ...
An improved method for nonstationary signals components extraction based on the ICI rule
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes an improved adaptive algorithm for components localization and extraction from a noisy multicomponent signal time-frequency distribution (TFD). The algorithm, based on the intersection of confidence ...
Advanced Polymeric Materials with Exceptional Carbon Dioxide Capture Capacities
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from combustion of fossil based fuels increasing the atmospheric CO2 concentration (currently at 393 ppm) is indubitably an alarming environmental issue such as an irreversible ...
An assistive computerized system for children with moderate intellectual and learning disabilities
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
We aim in this project to develop a system for children with intellectual and learning disabilities that supports collaboration, data exploration, communication and creativity. The system offers specific tutorials on basic ...
E-wobble: An electronic wobble board for ankle and toe rehabilitation
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Foot-drop is a common symptom among post stroke patients. It is characterized by the inability of a person to raise his/her foot at the ankle and to drag the toes during swing. To overcome such disability, long-term ...
An exploration into the religious and symbolic meanings of gendered spaces in an Arab gulf home
(2011 , Conference Paper)
Houses are rich symbols representative of culture, self and identity (Marcus 1995). The current research provides a comparative perspective on Arab-Islamic (Qatari) and Western values as encoded in the home and use of ...
Identifying contextual properties of software architecture in cloud computing
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper argues that the contextual properties of cloud-enabled software architecture should be identified and understood differently by cloud consumers. The existing architectures are not designed to exploit the contextual ...
Time-frequency based signal restoration for laser-ultrasound signals with applications in nondestructive testing
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an inspection system has been presented that uses Laser-Ultrasound (LU) technique for Nondestructive testing (NDT) of metallic structures with specific interest in Oil & Gas sector. While the developed ...
