Author:Cronje, JDate:Nov 2011A fast local image feature detector and descriptor that is implementable on the GPU is proposed. This method is the first GPU implementation of the popular FAST detector. A simple but novel method of feature orientation estimation which can ...Read more
Author:Eddy, C; de Saxe, Christopher C; Cebon, DDate:Aug 2018Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are overrepresented in cyclist fatality statistics in the UK relative to their proportion of total traffic volume. In particular, the statistics highlight a problem for vehicles turning left across the path of a ...Read more
Author:De Saxe, Christopher; Berman, Robert J; Clarke, Anria; Reinecke, John DDate:Jul 2019Tyre parameterisation is fundamental to vehicle dynamics research, as tyre properties have a significant impact on the behaviour of a vehicle. One way in which some of the primary tyre parameters can be extracted is a trailer-based tyre tester, ...Read more

Author:Burke, Michael G; Brink, WDate:Nov 2010This paper presents a monocular vision-based technique for extracting orientation information from a human torso for use in a robotic human-follower. Typical approaches to human-following use an estimate of only human position for navigation, ...Read more
Author:De Saxe, Christopher C; Cebon, DCDate:Mar 2019Articulated heavy goods vehicles and long combination vehicles offer improved efficiency and emissions but reduced low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability compared to rigid lorries. Active control systems can help to address these ...Read more
Author:Van Eden, Beatrice; Rosman, Benjamin SDate:Jan 2019Robot vision is an interdisciplinary field that deals with how robots can be made to gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos. Understanding an image at the pixel level often does not provide enough information for decision ...Read more
Author:Joubert, D; Tyatyantsi, A; Mphahlehle, J; Manchidi, VDate:Nov 2011Potholes are not only a source of frustration to drivers but also negatively impact the economy due to damage to vehicles and costly road repairs. Regular and rapid pavement inspection and maintenance is key to preventing pothole formation ...Read more
Author:Osunmakinde, IODate:Nov 2010Robot navigation depends on accurate scene analysis by a camera using its data. This paper investigates a refinement of the inherent falsified depth maps generated from a 3D SwissRanger camera in the emission of beams of rays through a modulated ...Read more
Author:Mattheus, J; Grobler, H; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MIDate:Nov 2020Motion segmentation has applications in, amongst others, robotics, traffic monitoring, sports analysis, inspection, video surveillance, compression, and video indexing. However, the performance of most methods is limited compared to human ...Read more
Author:De Saxe, Christopher CDate:Sep 2018Articulated Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are more efficient than conventional rigid lorries, but exhibit reduced low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability. Technologies such as autonomous reversing and path-following trailer steering ...Read more
Author:De Saxe, C; Cebon, DDate:Sep 2015Active control systems for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) are becoming more sophisticated, necessitating more extensive and sophisticated instrumentation. For articulated HGVs, articulation angle sensing is crucial for most such systems and ...Read more
