3D Machine vision and deep learning for enabling automated and sustainable assistive physiotherapy (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The significant beneficial effects of physiotherapy as a treatment for a wide range of medical conditions, is well known. However, the challenge for already stressed healthcare systems to provide effective physiotherapy to an aging population, that h...

Maize yield predictive models and mobile-based decision support system for smallholder farmers in Africa (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Existing machine learning models for crop yield prediction model environmental data on the assumption that soil variables are unaffected by weather variables and therefore learn their intrinsic features independently. If the focus of crop yield predi... Read More about Maize yield predictive models and mobile-based decision support system for smallholder farmers in Africa.

Diabetes mellitus prediction and diagnosis from a data preprocessing and machine learning perspective (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, which results from the inadequacy of the body to secrete and respond to insulin. If not properly managed or diagnosed on time, diabetes can pose a ris... Read More about Diabetes mellitus prediction and diagnosis from a data preprocessing and machine learning perspective.

Precision fibre angle inspection for carbon fibre composite structures using polarisation vision (2021)
Journal Article

This paper evaluates the precision of polarisation imaging technology for the inspection of carbon fibre composite components. Specifically, it assesses the feasibility of the technology for fibre orientation measurements based on the premise that li...

A robust machine learning framework for diabetes prediction (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia which results from the inadequacy of the body to secret and responds to insulin. If not properly managed or diagnosed on time, diabetes can pose a risk to vital body organs such... Read More about A robust machine learning framework for diabetes prediction.

Towards facial expression recognition for on-farm welfare assessment in pigs (2021)
Journal Article

Animal welfare is not only an ethically important consideration in good animal husbandry but can also have a significant effect on an animal’s productivity. The aim of this paper was to show that a reduction in animal welfare, in the form of increase... Read More about Towards facial expression recognition for on-farm welfare assessment in pigs.

Contactless robust 3D palm-print identification using photometric stereo (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Palmprints are of considerable interest as a reliable biometric, since they offer significant advantages, such as greater user acceptance than fingerprint or iris recognition. 2D systems can be spoofed by a photograph of a hand; however, 3D avoids th... Read More about Contactless robust 3D palm-print identification using photometric stereo.

The quiet revolution in machine vision - A state-of-the-art survey paper, including historical review, perspectives, and future directions (2021)
Journal Article

Over the past few years, what might not unreasonably be described as a true revolution has taken place in the field of machine vision, radically altering the way many things had previously been done and offering new and exciting opportunities for tho...

A computer vision approach to improving cattle digestive health by the monitoring of faecal samples (2020)
Journal Article

The digestive health of cows is one of the primary factors that determine their well-being and productivity. Under- and over-feeding are both commonplace in the beef and dairy industry; leading to welfare issues, negative environmental impacts, and e...
