Online object detection and tracking by Ooi, Jun Han.

“…By using HOG feature extraction algorithm, a database containing positive (vehicle’s features) and negative (background features) histograms (540 bins) is generated. During the tracking stage, the vehicle’s coordinate is predicted using mean-shift algorithm. …”

Unifying statistical texture classification frameworks by Varma, M, Zisserman, A

“…First, we show that there is a correspondence between the two common representations of filter outputs—textons and binned histograms. Second, we show that two classification methodologies, nearest neighbour matching and Bayesian classification, are equivalent for particular choices of the distance measure. …”

Perceptual watermarking and data concealment in audio signals by Tio, Cedric Meng Meng.

“…This project aims to hide data in audio streams by direct substitution of the FFT spectral lines with the hidden data. The spectral lines to be replaced are carefully chosen with the help of a psychoacoustic model. …”

Comparative study of composite scarf and strap joints for equivalent repair signature under uniaxial tension by Srinivasan, Dharun Vadugappatty, Padma, S. Ravisankar, Idapalapati, Sridhar

“…Herein, different repair designs based on 8.6° scarf, thin CFRP strap (0.5 mm and 1.1 mm), 0.5 mm thin Ti-6Al-4V straps (with and without pins) are used in bonding CFRP composites, their repair strength is measured through tensile testing. …”

Three-dimensional hydraulic modeling of particle deposition on the patterned isopore membrane in crossflow microfiltration by Choi, Dong-Chan, Jung, Seon-Yeop, Won, Young-June, Jang, Jun Hee, Lee, Jaewoo, Chae, Hee-Ro, Ahn, Kyung Hyun, Lee, Sangho, Park, Pyung-Kyu, Lee, Chung-Hak

“…CFD modeling studies were carried out to elucidate the anti-fouling effect of patterned membranes However, patterned membranes prepared usually by a phase inversion method are more likely to have broad pore size distributions and most modeling studies are based on two-dimensional space despite the three-dimensional pattern geometry. …”

Producing microscale Ge textures via titanium nitride- and nickel-assisted chemical etching with CMOS-compatibiliyty by Liao, Yikai, Shin, Sang-Ho, Jin, Yuhao, Wang, Qi Jie, Kim, Munho

“…Schottky contact barrier of metal catalyst with Ge is also investigated indicating similar hole injection efficiency among TiN, Ni, and Ti/Ni with Ge junction due to strong Fermi level pinning effect. The TiN- and Ni-assisted chemical etching of Ge shed light on CMOS-compatible Ge-based photonic and optoelectronic applications.…”

Information pollution and the war in Gaza: implications for Singapore by Wong, Yasmine, Haciyakupoglu, Gulizar

“…Besides demonstrating various disinformation types and tactics, there is also the increased resonance of certain disinformation narratives as they overlap and impact on societal sensitivities and identity-based fault lines. These are challenges for Singapore, as societal fault lines present vulnerabilities for disinformation penetration, ultimately affecting social cohesion.…”

General circulation models simulate negative liquid water path–droplet number correlations, but anthropogenic aerosols still increase simulated liquid water path by Mülmenstädt, J, Gryspeerdt, E, Dipu, S, Quaas, J, Ackerman, AS, Fridlind, AM, Tornow, F, Bauer, SE, Gettelman, A, Ming, Y, Zheng, Y, Ma, P-L, Wang, H, Zhang, K, Christensen, MW, Varble, AC, Leung, LR, Liu, X, Neubauer, D, Partridge, DG, Stier, P, Takemura, T

“…These results are a reminder that assessments of climate parameters based on multiple lines of evidence must carefully consider the complementary strengths of different lines when the lines disagree.…”

Calibration and limits of camera-based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy : a supported lipid bilayer study by Bag, Nirmalya, Sankaran, Jagadish, Paul, Alexandra, Kraut, Rachel Susan, Wohland, Thorsten

“…Using optimized experimental conditions we provide diffusion coefficients for over ten different lipid membranes consisting of one, two and three constituents, measured in over 200000 individual correlation functions. Using software binning and thus the inherent advantage of ITIR-FCS of providing multiple observation areas in a single measurement we test the FCS diffusion law and show how they can be complemented by the local information provided by the difference in cross-correlation functions (ΔCCF). …”

Fourier transform-based scalable image quality measure by Narwaria, Manish, Lin, Weisi, McLoughlin, Ian Vince, Emmanuel, Sabu, Chia, Clement Liang-Tien

“…We accommodate this fact via a simple yet effective strategy of non-uniform binning of the frequency components. This process also leads to reduced space representation of the image thereby enabling the reduced-reference (RR) prospects of the proposed scheme. …”

Measurements of the CKM angle γ at the LHCb experiment by Cheung, S

“…The subsequent <em>D</em> meson decays to the <em>K</em>_S⁰π⁺π⁻ and <em>K</em>_S⁰<em>K</em>⁺<em>K</em>⁻ final states are studied using a binned Dalitz plot analysis. The <em>D</em> strong-phase variation over the Dalitz plot is taken from measurements performed at the CLEO-c experiment, making the analysis independent of a model to describe the <em>D</em> decay amplitude. …”
