Emma-Claire Mullally
I’m a PhD student in the Department of
Computer Science at the National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUIM). I began my PhD in October 2004 and my
supervisor is Dr. Diarmuid O'Donoghue.
My research has is
on developing an algorithm to solve spatial analogy problems. I have focused
on two seeming unrelated problems: GPA - geometric proportional analogies (you
know, those IQ-test type problems) and problems related to processing topographic (land-cover) maps.
The objective is to automatically process the information recorded on
topographic objects.
We sub-categorise building
polygons into dwellings and thence into {semi-detached, detached,
terraced…} dwellings. Extensive and irregular structures are also
identified using this approach, identifying the various polygons that form composite
structures like hospitals, universities and schools.
