Automatic segmentation of lumbar vertebrae in digital videofluoroscopic images

, 2004
Low back pain is a significant problem in the industrialized world. Diagnosis of the underlying causes can be extremely difficult. Since mechanical factors often play an important role, it can be helpful to study the motion of the spine.

Looking at quality through a systems lens—Applying systems thinking to the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is widely recognised that many policy systems are complex, requiring collaboration across different organisations and sectors to address socioeconomic outcomes and inequalities. Yet, the public policy literature is dominated by rational–technical frameworks that struggle to understand complex systems. This paper applies ideas from the field

Multi-Stage Hough Space Calculation for Lane Markings Detection via IMU and Vision Fusion

Sensors, 2019
It is challenging to achieve robust lane detection based on a single frame, particularly when complicated driving scenarios are present. A novel approach based on multiple frames is proposed in this paper by taking advantage of the fusion of vision and ...

‘Mere Amateurs’? Elementary Teachers and the Making of Scientific Authority in the British Child Study Movement

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article offers new perspectives on the relationship between elementary teaching, scientific expertise and the professionalization of the human sciences. Previous scholarship has demonstrated the ready existence of ‘amateur’ science societies in the nineteenth century where cross‐class exchanges were common.

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

Dynamical simulation of on‐axis transmission Kikuchi and spot diffraction patterns, based on accurate diffraction geometry calibration

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Transmission Kikuchi diffraction in the scanning electron microscope has gained popularity as a materials characterisation technique for its high throughput and nanometre‐level spatial resolution. While conventional diffraction pattern analysis routines focus on Kikuchi bands on the diffraction patterns, the full physical picture of electron ...

A Fisher-Rao metric for paracatadioptric images of lines

, 2012
In a central paracatadioptric imaging system a perspective camera takes an image of a scene reflected in a paraboloidal mirror. A 360° field of view is obtained, but the image is severely distorted.

Impact‐diagnostic criteria for use in confirming a meteorite impact origin of terrestrial geological structures: Recommendations by the Impact Cratering Committee of the Meteoritical Society

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for ...
