3D FPGA versus multiple FPGA system : enhanced parallelism in smaller area
(2014-01)Handling large amounts of data is being limited by bandwidth constraint between processors components and their memory counterparts. Three-dimensional integration (3D) is providing possible solution to handle such critical ... -
5D BIM in a consulting quantity surveying environment
(Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MoBIE), 2014)BIM is triggering a revolution in the construction industry, and the concept known as 5D BIM, which ultimately is concerned with a cost dimension being added to objects contained within the BIM model, has the potential to ... -

(Computing and Information Technology Research and Education New Zealand (CITRENZ), 2021-07)This poster presents the acoustic features of distorted speech in three dysphonic New Zealanders compared to three healthy individuals as the control group. There are a total of six subjects in this study. Voice onset time ... -
Acoustic signal processing systems for intelligent beehive monitoring
(Acoustical Society of New Zealand, 2022)Bees, as pollinators and producers of honey and medicinal products, play a crucial role in human life and environmental sustainability. Emerging Smart Beekeeping technologies utilise various methodologies in apiology, ... -
Action and Re action: home grown timber and imported prefabricated housing.
(2009)One thousand prefabricated buildings were imported in a systematic manner by the New Zealand Government from Europe and erected in the Titahi Bay area of Wellington and the Tamaki area of Auckland NZ. These kitset buildings, ... -
Adaptive active control of free space acoustic noise
(Published by the Acoustical Society of America through the American Institute of Physics, 2013)This paper concerns adaptive active control of acoustic noise in free space. Conventional adaptive active noise control algorithms are efficient in acoustic ducts or headphones; however, they are very sensitive when being ... -
Adaptive background modeling for land and water composition scenes
(International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP), 2015-09)In the context of maritime boat ramps surveillance, this paper proposes an Adaptive Background Modeling method for Land and Water composition scenes (ABM-lw) to interpret the traffic of boats passing across boat ramps. We ... -
Adaptive document image skew estimation
(International Association of Engineers (IAENG), 2017-03)The skew of the scanned document image is inevitable, and its correction improves the performance of document recognition systems. Skew specifies the text lines deviation from the horizontal or vertical axes. To date, skew ... -
Adaptive reuse and re purposing of industrial buildings to residential dwellings in Auckland City
(State of Australian Cities (SOAC 2017), 2017-11)The conversion of former industrial buildings and identifying heritage as a commodity has become a pervasive trend, especially over the last decade. Adaptive re-use of old industrial buildings is often seen as an alternative ... -
