Deep Generative Modelling: A Comparative Review of VAEs, GANs, Normalizing Flows, Energy-Based and Autoregressive Models (2021)
Journal Article

Deep generative models are a class of techniques that train deep neural networks to model the distribution of training samples. Research has fragmented into various interconnected approaches, each of which make trade-offs including run-time, diversit...

Short-term effects of caffeine intake on binocular accommodative facility: a quantitative and qualitative analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Clinical relevance: Caffeine intake has been demonstrated to influence several physiological measures, including some related to eye physiology. The ability to focus at different distances is of paramount importance in real-world situations, and thus...

Examining the Validity of a New Method for the Objective Assessment of Binocular Accommodative Facility (2Q-AF Test): A Comparison with ± 2.00 DS Lens Flippers (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: Recent technological advances have permitted to objectively record the accommodative response while shifting between two different levels of accommodation. This study is aimed at examining the concurrent validity of a new objective method fo...

Temporal and Non-Temporal Contextual Saliency Analysis for Generalized Wide-Area Search within Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Video (2021)
Journal Article

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can be used to great effect for wide-area searches such as search and rescue operations. UAV enable search and rescue teams to cover large areas more efficiently and in less time. However, using UAV for this purpose inv...

Two-stage human verification using HandCAPTCHA and anti-spoofed finger biometrics with feature selection (2021)
Journal Article

This paper presents a human verification scheme in two independent stages to overcome the vulnerabilities of attacks and to enhance security. At the first stage, a hand image-based CAPTCHA (HandCAPTCHA) is tested to avert automated bot-attacks on the...
