High-resolution image reconstruction from multiple low-resolution images. (1999)
Conference Proceeding
Wei, H., & Binnie, D. (1999). High-resolution image reconstruction from multiple low-resolution images. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A19990392

In this paper, we demonstrate a digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm for improving spatial resolution of images captured by CMOS cameras. The basic approach is to reconstruct a high resolution (HR) image from a shift-related low resolution (LR)...

Networked information: dealing with overload. (1998)
Conference Proceeding
Hall, H. (1998). Networked information: dealing with overload. In Information for Scotland IV : proceedings of a conference organised by the Cataloguing and Indexing Group in Scotland, the Library Association Information Services Group (Scottish Branch) and the National Library of Scotland, and held at the Strathclyde Graduate Business School, Glasgow, Tuesday 4th November 1997 (37-44)

In support of peak performance all organisations require optimal information: information that arrives at the right time and in the right format, matching the quality requirements of its potential users (Marcusohn, 1995). In contrast to this, a super... Read More about Networked information: dealing with overload..
