Understanding Iconography: a method to allow rich picture interpretation to improve (2013)
Thesis
Berg, T. Understanding Iconography: a method to allow rich picture interpretation to improve. (Thesis). Heriot-Watt University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7207

Information Systems for complex situations often fail to adequately deliver quality and suitability. One reason for this failure is an inability to identify comprehensive user requirements. Seldom do all stakeholders, especially those "invisible‟ or... Read More about Understanding Iconography: a method to allow rich picture interpretation to improve.

Binary matrix for pedestrian tracking in infrared images (2013)
Thesis
Grama, K. Binary matrix for pedestrian tracking in infrared images. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6153

The primary goal of this thesis is to present a robust low compute cost pedestrian tracking system for use with thermal infra-red images. Pedestrian tracking employs two distinct image analysis tasks, pedestrian detection and path tracking. This thes... Read More about Binary matrix for pedestrian tracking in infrared images.

An Investigation into Visual Graph Comparison (2012)
Thesis
Melville, A. G. An Investigation into Visual Graph Comparison. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7560

Information Visualisation is extensively used in single graph analysis. However, relatively little work has been done in the field of graph comparison. This work examines and compares the use of two standard graph representations in this area, the No... Read More about An Investigation into Visual Graph Comparison.

Representation and Decision Making in the Immune System (2010)
Thesis
McEwan, C. Representation and Decision Making in the Immune System. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4157

The immune system has long been attributed cognitive capacities such as "recognition" of pathogenic agents; "memory" of previous infections; "regulation" of a cavalry of detector and effector cells; and "adaptation" to a changing environment and evo...

Solving vehicle routing problems using multipleant colonies and deterministic approaches (2007)
Thesis
Sa'adah, S. Solving vehicle routing problems using multipleant colonies and deterministic approaches. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9469

In the vehicle routing problem with time windows VRPTW, there arc two main objectives. The primary objective is to reduce the number of vehicles, the secondary one is to minimise the total distance travelled by all vehicles. This thesis describes som...
