3D Machine vision and deep learning for enabling automated and sustainable assistive physiotherapy (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, L., Boyd, S., Bhatta, D., & Smith, M. (in press). 3D Machine vision and deep learning for enabling automated and sustainable assistive physiotherapy.

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
Olisah, C., Smith, L. N., & Smith, M. L. (2022, July). Maize yield predictive models and mobile-based decision support system for smallholder farmers in Africa. Paper presented at 17th International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Mining MLDM 2022, New York, USA

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
Olisah, C. C., Smith, L., & Smith, M. (2022). Diabetes mellitus prediction and diagnosis from a data preprocessing and machine learning perspective. Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 220, Article 106773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmpb.2022.106773

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.

Towards machine vision for insect welfare monitoring and behavioural insights (2022)
Journal Article
Hansen, M. F., Oparaeke, A., Gallagher, R., Karimi, A., Tariq, F., & Smith, M. L. (2022). Towards machine vision for insect welfare monitoring and behavioural insights. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 9, Article 835529. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2022.835529

Machine vision has demonstrated its usefulness in the livestock industry in terms of improving welfare in such areas as lameness detection and body condition scoring in dairy cattle. In this article, we present some promising results of applying stat... Read More about Towards machine vision for insect welfare monitoring and behavioural insights.

Eye centre localisation with convolutional neural networks in high- and low-resolution images (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, W., & Smith, M. L. (2022). Eye centre localisation with convolutional neural networks in high- and low-resolution images. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 13375 LNCS, 373-384. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-10522-7_26

Eye centre localisation is critical to eye tracking systems of various forms and with applications in variety of disciplines. An active eye tracking approach can achieve a high accuracy by leveraging active illumination to gain an enhanced contrast o...

A robust machine learning framework for diabetes prediction (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Olisah, C., Adeleye, O., Smith, L., & Smith, M. (2022). A robust machine learning framework for diabetes prediction. In Proceedings of the Future Technologies Conference (FTC) 2021 (775-792). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89880-9_58

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
Hansen, M. F., Baxter, E. M., Rutherford, K. M. D., Futro, A., Smith, M. L., & Smith, L. N. (2021). Towards facial expression recognition for on-farm welfare assessment in pigs. Agriculture, 11(9), Article 847. https://doi.org/10.3390/agriculture11090847

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.

Quantitative potato tuber phenotyping by 3D imaging (2021)
Journal Article
Liu, J., Xu, X., Liu, Y., Rao, Z., Smith, M., Jin, L., & Li, B. (2021). Quantitative potato tuber phenotyping by 3D imaging. Biosystems Engineering, 210, 48-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystemseng.2021.08.001

The accurate phenotyping of the external quality attributes of potato tubers is important in potato breeding. Currently, the assessment of potato tuber shape, together with eye density and depth, are based on subjective naked eye visual evaluation. H...

Contactless robust 3D palm-print identification using photometric stereo (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, L. N., Langhof, M. P., Hansen, M. F., & Smith, M. L. (2021). Contactless robust 3D palm-print identification using photometric stereo. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2595439

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...
