Optical Imaging Technology In Colonoscopy - Is There A Role For Photometric Stereo (2020)
Journal Article

Abstract
Colonoscopy screening for the detection and removal of colonic adenomas is central to efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer. However, up to a third of adenomas may be missed at colonoscopy, and the majority of p... Read More about Optical Imaging Technology In Colonoscopy - Is There A Role For Photometric Stereo.

Multispectral imaging for presymptomatic analysis of light leaf spot in oilseed rape (2019)
Journal Article

Background: The use of spectral imaging within the plant phenotyping and breeding community has been increasing due its utility as a non-invasive diagnostic tool.
