Forensic analysis of large capacity digital storage devices (2017)
Thesis
Penrose, P. (2017). Forensic analysis of large capacity digital storage devices. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Digital forensic laboratories are failing to cope with the volume of digital evidence required to be analysed. The ever increasing capacity of digital storage devices only serves to compound the problem. In many law enforcement agencies a form of adm...

Complex Pleasures: Designing Optional interactions for Public Spaces (2017)
Thesis
Helgason, I. Complex Pleasures: Designing Optional interactions for Public Spaces. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1022893

This research aims to contribute to knowledge about the design of interactive systems sited in public spaces. In particular, the study concerns "optional interactions" where systems invite interaction from passers-by. These systems are action-orienta...

Hand Gesture Discrimination with Passive Infrared Sensor Arrays (2017)
Thesis
Wojtczuk, P. Hand Gesture Discrimination with Passive Infrared Sensor Arrays. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/979764

Gesture recognition is a natural way of non-verbal communication for humans. However it is technically challenging to capture the relatively undefined movement of body parts in free space and also extract the intended gestures. Many existing technolo...
