Vision based semantic runway segmentation from simulation with deep convolutional neural networks (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Manned flight crew rely upon optical imagery to make sense of the world and carry out high level guidance, navigation & control tasks. To advance autonomous aircraft’s capabilities and safety, programmes need to be developed that aim to achieve pilot...

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...

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...

Shedding smart light on the effectiveness of chemotherapy: using Raman spectroscopy and machine learning to differentiate the effects of Cytarabine toxicity and crosstalk of leukaemic and bone marrow stromal cells (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) protect leukaemic cells from drug-induced toxicity within the bone marrow niche, with increasing evidence of leukaemic impact on supportive stroma. The nucleoside analogue, cytarabine (ara-C), is a front-line agent for...

Reinforcement learning for a perched landing in the presence of wind (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Previous research by the University of Bristol's Flight Lab demonstrated the feasibility of using reinforcement learning to generate a controller to perform an agile perched landing flight manoeuvre. However, flight testing demonstrated the limits of... Read More about Reinforcement learning for a perched landing in the presence of wind.
