A model personal energy meter
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer Laboratory, 2011-10-11)
Every day each of us consumes a significant amount of energy, both directly through transport, heating and use of appliances, and indirectly from our needs for the production of food, manufacture of goods and provision of ...
Fundamental and applied aspects of contact electrification
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering, 1976-02)
Apparatus has been developed, which permits the measurement of electrification produced by rolling or sliding contact between a spherical specimen, and a plane dielectric sample. Measurements of the charge transferred to ...
Deformation behaviour of bitumen and bituminous mixes
(University of Cambridge, 2005-03-15)
The main goal of this dissertation is to develop simple and accurate models for the
transient monotonic and cyclic deformation behaviour of bitumen and asphalt mixes.
The first part of this dissertation is concerned with ...
Intelligent Market-Making in Artificial Financial Markets
(2003-06-01)
This thesis describes and evaluates a market-making algorithm for setting prices in financial markets with asymmetric information, and analyzes the properties of artificial markets in which the algorithm is used. The ...
Importance Sampling for Reinforcement Learning with Multiple Objectives
(2001-08-01)
This thesis considers three complications that arise from applying reinforcement learning to a real-world application. In the process of using reinforcement learning to build an adaptive electronic market-maker, we find ...
Towards Man-Machine Interfaces: Combining Top-down Constraints with Bottom-up Learning in Facial Analysis
(2002-09-01)
This thesis proposes a methodology for the design of man-machine interfaces by combining top-down and bottom-up processes in vision. From a computational perspective, we propose that the scientific-cognitive question ...
Face Representation in Cortex: Studies Using a Simple and Not So Special Model
(2003-06-05)
The face inversion effect has been widely documented as an effect of the uniqueness of face processing. Using a computational model, we show that the face inversion effect is a byproduct of expertise with respect to the ...
Obviously Synchronizable Series Expressions: Part I: User's Manual for the OSS Macro Package
(1987-10-01)
The benefits of programming in a functional style are well known. In particular, algorithms that are expressed as compositions of functions operating on series/vectors/streams of data elements are much easier to ...
Three-Dimensional Correspondence
(1998-12-01)
This paper describes the problem of three-dimensional object correspondence and presents an algorithm for matching two three-dimensional colored surfaces using polygon reduction and the minimization of an energy function. ...
Self Calibration of Motion and Stereo Vision for Mobile RobotsNavigation
(1987-08-01)
We report on experiments with a mobile robot using one vision process (forward motion vision) to calibrate another (stereo vision) without resorting to any external units of measurement. Both are calibrated to a velocity ...
