Advantages of 3D methods for face recognition research in humans (2005)
Journal Article
Liu, C., & Ward, J. (2005). Advantages of 3D methods for face recognition research in humans. Lecture notes in computer science, 3723, 244 - 254

Research on face recognition in humans has mainly relied on 2D images. This approach has certain limitations. First, observers become relatively passive in face encoding, although in reality they may be more spontaneous in exploring different views o...

The insertion of distal locking screws is a difficult task in intra-medullary (IM) nailing operations of long bones and contributes a significant proportion to the overall operating time. The current technique to insert these screws uses numerous flu...

Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Li, Q. (2005). Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces. In Proceeding. Applied Simulation and Modelling (ASM 2005) (109 - 114)

In conventional spline geometric shape design, each part of a designed object always evolves the same number of con trol points. This has been a disadvantage of the spline based geometric shape design schemes as much more points than necessary may be... Read More about Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces.

Journal Article
Bridge, P., Appleyard, R. M., Ward, J. W., Philips, R., & Beavis, A. W. (2007). The development and evaluation of a virtual radiotherapy treatment machine using an immersive visualisation environment. Computers & education, 49(2), 481-494. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2005.10.006

Due to the lengthy learning process associated with complicated clinical techniques, undergraduate radiotherapy students can struggle to access sufficient time or patients to gain the level of expertise they require. By developing a hybrid virtual en... Read More about The development and evaluation of a virtual radiotherapy treatment machine using an immersive visualisation environment.

A recurrent neural network for sound-source motion tracking and prediction (2005)
Conference Proceeding

Neural observer by coordinate transformation (2005)
Journal Article
Delgado, A., Hou, M., & Kambhampati, C. (2005). Neural observer by coordinate transformation. IEE Proceedings Control Theory and Applications, 152(6), 698-706. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-cta%3A20045069

Nonlinear control affine systems with maximum relative degree and a class of nonlinear differential equations can be transformed into a state representation known as the normal form. Based on the normal form an observer is designed using neural netwo... Read More about Neural observer by coordinate transformation.

We consider the following 'even hyperplane construction'of flats in the projective space PG(9, 2) = P(boolean AND(2) V(5, 2)) which are external to the Grassmannian G(1,4,2) of lines of PG(4,2). Let the Grassmann image in G(1,4,2) of a partial spread... Read More about Partial spreads in PG(4,2) and flats in PG(9,2) external to the Grassmannian G1,4,2.
