Stuart Inglis's research topics Compression. Hoards of people rushing to cement their words into the history of the future. A load of rubbish.
Warehouses buldge, libraries strain, office's are buried, and fileservers choke.
If there exists many different ways of performing the same thing, the best way is the simplest way. I am currently studying for a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Waikato which is in the middle of the North Island in New Zealand . My thesis title is Document Image Compression , which is addressing the issue of electronically processing the screeds of documents that businesses and libraries keep. I enter the scene from the bottom level, not dealing with the people themselves, but dealing with the information they manage. We have been using a compression method which extracts connected regions of pixels from the image and uses an index system to achieve compression.
