A robust multi-scale integration method to obtain the depth from gradient maps (2012)
Journal Article

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

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? A cross sectional study of appearance anxiety in 500 consecutive referrals for cosmetic surgery.

Quantification of transient fuel films under elevated ambient pressure environments (2012)
Journal Article

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.

Numerical modeling of ADA system for vulnerable road users protection based on radar and vision sensing (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The protection of vulnerable road users (VRU) remains one of the most challenging problems for our society and several governmental and consumer organization has set targets to reduce the VRU fatality and injury rates. The automotive industry is, the... Read More about Numerical modeling of ADA system for vulnerable road users protection based on radar and vision sensing.

High temperature creep behaviour of gamma-titanium aluminides (gamma-TiAl) (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Compared to conventional titanium alloys, gamma titanium aluminides (gamma-TiAl)offer highly desirable properties to the design engineer, with relatively high specific stiffness and high temperature capability. However, a significant drawback of this... Read More about High temperature creep behaviour of gamma-titanium aluminides (gamma-TiAl).

Alpha-case kinetics and surface crack growth in the high-temperature alloy Timetal 834 under creep conditions (2012)
Journal Article

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.

The emergence of action sequences from spatial attention: Insight from rodent-like robots (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Animal behaviour is rich, varied, and smoothly integrated. One plausible model of its generation is that behavioural sub-systems compete to command effectors. In small terrestrial mammals, many behaviours are underpinned by foveation, since important...

The effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of a low carbon steel (0.1%) for offshore structural application (2012)
Journal Article

In this study, a low carbon cast steel (0.1% C) alloy designed for offshore structures, and the mechanical properties of the alloy under different heat treatment cycles have been evaluated. The effect of austenitizing time on the austenite grain size...

Tactile SLAM with a biomimetic whiskered robot (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Future robots may need to navigate where visual sensors fail. Touch sensors provide an alternative modality, largely unexplored in the context of robotic map building. We present the first results in grid based simultaneous localisation and mapping (... Read More about Tactile SLAM with a biomimetic whiskered robot.

Quantitative analysis on SLS part curling using EOS P700 machine (2012)
Journal Article

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...
