Personal firewall in mobile phone
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The assignment described in this master thesis is given by Ericsson AS and gives an evaluation of a need for a personal firewall in mobile phone. In today’s commercial products personal firewall in mobile phone does not exist. This master thesis analyzes the role of personal firewall in different scenarios. At the beginning of the master thesis functions that already exist in personal firewall for PC were discussed in the sense of which could be useful in personal firewall for mobile phone. This master thesis also covers description of connection between personal firewall and virus in addition to wha…
Formation of secure wireless ad-hoc sensor networks
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Looking into the wireless world today, the most of data/information is transmitted in plaintext over the ether. These sensitive data/information possibly route through several intermediate nodes to a destination. To secure the sensitive data/information, the various ad-hoc technologies like Bluetooth, WLAN and ZigBee have implemented different security mechanisms and routing protocols. But since most wireless ad-hoc networks demand battery driven devices they will have limit resources to provide feasible security. The different technologies will be outlined regarding a set case scenario. We have a pa…
WLAN-GPRS interworking
2001
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2001 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad During the last years it has been experienced a huge growth in Internet users. Nearly each household in Norway got a computer attached to the Internet. The trend for further growth seems to be within the concept of mobile Internet, which means that the user can be attached anywhere at any time. The sales of mobile equipments like personal digital assistants (PDAs) and laptops are currently experiencing a great growth. This indicates a need for greater flexibility and mobility and gives therefore a demand for mobile Internet. The motive for this thesis was to investigate the opportunities to offer mob…
Wavelet-based video compression: A glimpse of the future?
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Even though wavelet-based video compression has been an area of research for more than a decade, motion estimation and compensation has been considered complex and inefficient until recently. We have carried out a thorough investigation of existing research work in this field, and found that fundamental problem with wavelet-based temporal removal while obtaining highly scalability (the wavelet-properties of multiresolution structure in combination with embedded coding), has been solved by performing motion compensated temporal filtering within the wavelet domain of a overcomplete three-dimensional li…
Analysis of binarization techniques and Tsetlin machine architectures targeting image classification
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) The Tsetlin Machine is a constantly evolving and developing machine learning technique with ever-increasing success. However, for every success, the Tsetlin Machine achieves, a new set of challenges are put ahead. To sufficiently bring the Tsetlin Machine to a broadly used standard, these challenges must be completed. This thesis focuses on the challenge of doing color image classification and will provide an introductory description of how this is possible through the usage of an older technique, namely binarization. A comparison with the various Tsetlin Machine adaptations made public in recent times is also present aft…
An improved image processing chain for mobile terminals
2002
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2002 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Based on the proposal in the report by Tryggve Mikkelsen [Mikkelsen, 2001] this thesis investigates and discusses the implementation of a simplified image processing chain for modern mobile terminals. Previous work on image processing in this field of application has shown that the demosaicing operation, color space conversion and downsampling are resource demanding pre-processing operations. The simplification potential of the signal chain lies within the pictured scenario of using Bayer RGB from the image sensor directly as input to the compression scheme. By omitting these pre-processing operation…
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Semantic Segmentation of Multi-Band Satellite Images
2018
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2018 Semantic segmentation of images is of increasing interest in the eld of computer vision and machine learning. Accurate and e cient segmentation methods is required for many of todays modern applications. This the- sis provides a review of deep learning methods for semantic segmentation of satellite images. Firstly, we compare di erent state-of-the-art methods. Next, we explore the bene ts of using multiple spectral bands of data as compared to the traditional RGB bands. Finally, a look at future possibil- ities with segmentation using capsule networks.
Combining Deep Privacy with an Attribute-driven Generative Adversarial Network to Preserve Gender and Age in De-identified CCTV Footage
2021
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) A surveillance camera is an efficient solution to prohibit crimes for both small and big businesses, and is broadly utilized in big cities. Today, the police force can only access the camera footage for further investigation after an act of crime. In order to observe, find patterns, and react appropriately to an event, the Oslo Police wants to use its own CCTV cameras and analyze such footage in real-time. To investigate real-time CCTV footage and share such footage with a third-party for analyzing, the people in the footage need to be de-identified. In this thesis, we focus on de-identification of CCTV footage, preservin…
Hand Gestures Recognition using Thermal Images
2021
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) Hand gesture recognition is important in a variety of applications, including medical systems and assistive technologies, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, industrial automation, virtual environment control, sign language translation, crisis and disaster management, en-tertainment and computer games, and robotics. RGB cameras are usually used for most of these applications. However, their performance is limited especially in low-light conditions. It is challenging to accurately classify the hand gestures in dark conditions. In this thesis, we propose the robust hand gestures recognition based on high re…
Research on the impact of using interactive game based learning to teach mathematics
2005
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2005 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The number of students who study scientific subjects has continued to drop over a long period of time. Compared to 2004, there is a 12% decrease in High School students who study mathematics and a 5% decrease in applicants for technology studies at College and University level in 2005 [1]. These numbers concern employees of the technology sector as they have predicted a large need for mathematicians in the future [19]. The educational system is under constant change to take advantage of new educational methods that modern technology allows for. The Heriot Watt University in Scotland showed that the i…
