Illumination compensation for nominally planar surface recovery (2012)
Journal Article
Sun, J., Smith, M., Smith, L., & Farooq, A. (2012). Illumination compensation for nominally planar surface recovery. IET Computer Vision, 6(5), 371-377. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-cvi.2011.0075

A uniform distribution of illumination radiance across the surface of objects of interest is desired for most scene analysis approaches, including that of photometric stereo. Either specially designed parallel illumination or distant point light sour... Read More about Illumination compensation for nominally planar surface recovery.

Towards an anthropomorphic design of minimally invasive instrumentation for soft tissue robotic surgery (2012)
Journal Article
Pipe, T., Tzemanaki, A., Dogramadzi, S., Pipe, A. G., & Melhuish, C. (2012). Towards an anthropomorphic design of minimally invasive instrumentation for soft tissue robotic surgery. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 7429 LNAI, 455-456. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-32527-4_56

Minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy, have significantly decreased blood loss, postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay. Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has offered refined accuracy and more ergonomic instrume...

Towards tactile sensing applied to underwater autonomous vehicles for near shore survey and de-mining (2012)
Journal Article
Rooney, T., Pipe, A. G., Dogramadzi, S., & Pearson, M. (2012). Towards tactile sensing applied to underwater autonomous vehicles for near shore survey and de-mining. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 7429 LNAI, 463-464. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-32527-4_60

Artificial tactile whisker sensors demonstrate an approach to localisation [1] that is robust to harsh environmental disturbances, endowing autonomous systems with the ability to operate effectively in confined, noisy and visually occluded spaces, su...

A robust multi-scale integration method to obtain the depth from gradient maps (2012)
Journal Article
Smith, M. L., Atkinson, G. A., Leitão, H. C., Saracchini, R. F., Saracchini, R., Stolfi, J., …Smith, M. (2012). A robust multi-scale integration method to obtain the depth from gradient maps. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 116(8), 882-895. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cviu.2012.03.006

We describe a robust method for the recovery of the depth map (or height map) from a gradient map (or normal map) of a scene, such as would be obtained by photometric stereo or interferometry. Our method allows for uncertain or missing samples, which... Read More about A robust multi-scale integration method to obtain the depth from gradient maps.

Low priority? A cross sectional study of appearance anxiety in 500 consecutive referrals for cosmetic surgery (2012)
Journal Article
Butler, P. E., Clarke, A., Hansen, E. L., & White, P. (2012). Low priority? A cross sectional study of appearance anxiety in 500 consecutive referrals for cosmetic surgery. Psychology, Health and Medicine, 17(4), 440-446. https://doi.org/10.1080/13548506.2011.626433

Low priority treatment guidance is used in the National Health Service to manage requests for cosmetic surgery where there is no associated functional impairment. Provision is made in this guidance to provide surgery on exceptional grounds, and this... Read More about Low priority?

Quantification of transient fuel films under elevated ambient pressure environments (2012)
Journal Article
Kay, P. J., Alonso, M., Kay, P. J., Bowen, P. J., Gilchrist, R., & Sapsford, S. M. (2012). Quantification of transient fuel films under elevated ambient pressure environments. Atomization and Sprays, 22(1), 79-95. https://doi.org/10.1615/AtomizSpr.2012004865

Impingement of fuel sprays on solid surfaces is of interest in a wide range of industrial applications including automotive, gas turbines, and process and hazard analysis. Consequently, accurate quantification of fuel films is necessary for model val... Read More about Quantification of transient fuel films under elevated ambient pressure environments.

Alpha-case kinetics and surface crack growth in the high-temperature alloy Timetal 834 under creep conditions (2012)
Journal Article
Abdallah, Z., Perkins, K., & Williams, S. (2012). Alpha-case kinetics and surface crack growth in the high-temperature alloy Timetal 834 under creep conditions. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A, 43(12), 4647-4654. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11661-012-1285-3

Investigations of Timetal 834 crept specimens showed that a uniform alpha-case layer was developed at the surfaces of all specimens tested in air at 823 K to 923 K (550 °C to 650 °C). The formation of this alpha-case was a result of the inward diffus... Read More about Alpha-case kinetics and surface crack growth in the high-temperature alloy Timetal 834 under creep conditions.

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a thermal process and one of the main problems associated with it is "part curling". The aim of the work is to describe the degree of curling quantitatively and to provide suggestions to minimise the curl, thereby i...
