Overview
The main Computing research areas of interest in the Department at University of Buckingham cover image / video processing and analysis techniques and applications; wireless mobile network technologies; and biometric-based authentications for constrained devices / environments.
Features
- In image processing we mainly, but not exclusively, use wavelet transform techniques for facial feature detection and recognition, online image / video compression for constrained devices, visual speech recognition, feature detection in biomedical images, digital watermarking, content-based video indexing for biometric video databases.
- In the wireless networking area, our research effort focuses on convergence and integration of different wireless technologies and standards, wireless mesh technologies, intrusion detection and prevention, efficiency and stability of ad hoc networks.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Most of our academic staff teach for three terms out of four, with the remaining term used for research.
- Because of this, we have no difficulty in attracting high calibre, highly respected lecturers, many of whom also have a background in business or industry and can offer networking opportunities for students.
- Candidates spend a considerable part of their studies undertaking supervised research, at the end of which they submit a thesis embodying the results of that research.
- This thesis must demonstrate familiarity with, and an understanding of the subject, its principal sources and authorities.
- It should display critical discrimination and a sense of proportion in evaluating evidence and the judgements of others.
