Projects

Here are some projects I have been involved in and things that I’ve done.

Maltese Text-to-Speech

The first SAPI-compliant text-to-speech engine for the Maltese language, featuring three voices - male, female and child.

AVITRACK

AVITRACK was a IST-FP6 European project in collaboration with Silogic S.A. Toulouse (FR), University of Reading (UK), CCI Aeroport Toulouse Blagnac (France), Fedespace (France), Tekever LDA, Lisbon (Portugal), ARC Seibersdorf research GMBH, Wien (Austria), Technique Universities, Vienna (Austria), IKT (Norway) and Euro Inter (Toulouse France). During this 2-year project, algorithms were developed to recognize the servicing activities around parked aircraft in an apron area monitored by eight cameras in Toulouse airport (France).

Omnidirectional Visual Tracking

This is my MSc project, titled “Omnidirectional Visual Tracking”, that was submitted in 2003 for my MSc Engineering & Information Science degree at the University of Reading.

C++ was used for developing the application OmniApp. The dataset used for training and testing the algorithms is the PETS 2001 dataset. This was acquired using a catadioptric sensor.
