Photometric stereo vision, as a non-contact three-dimensional imaging technology, can achieve fast and high-precision reconstruction of normal vectors and three-dimensional morphology of object surfaces by resolving the intensity changes under different angles of illumination. However, the existing near-field&#...

Recent trends in the field of structural integrity highlight the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with related domains such as Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), and the assessment of Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). AI plays a pivotal role in de...

To address the challenges of coverage completeness and path executability in mobile robotic arm planning for industrial ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT), this study proposes a 3D path planning method that combines the Neuro-Evolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) algorithm with offline i...

This work presents a systematic literature review of powder-gas jet stream (PGJS) characterisation techniques for coaxial nozzles in the laser directed energy deposition process (L-DEDp). The analysis includes thirty-four camera-based and four weight-based techniques. In weight-based techniques, the mappin...

The global localisation of spatial points is a critical step in tasks such as object tracking, motion analysis and pose measurement. This paper addresses the critical issue of global localisation when spatial points are scattered and cannot be contained within the same field of...

Intelligent manufacturing environment puts forward multi-dimensional requirements for industrial control networks, such as flexibility, mobility and dynamic adaptability, etc. SharkNet, as a high-performance fieldbus protocol, possesses significant advantages, such as strong real-time, low latency, and high reliabil...

In the Laser Directed Energy Deposition (L-DEDp) process, a laser melts fine metal powder delivered through a carrier gas as a focused powder jet. The geometry and behaviour of this jet, particularly its stand-off distance and focus diameter, are directly influenced by process para...

This project investigated the influence of printing process parameters on the printability and mechanical properties of bone tissue scaffolds fabricated using fused deposition modelling (FDM). Given that tissue scaffolds require specific structural and mechanical characteristics for their intended applicat...

As social media platforms generate unprecedented volumes of user content, accelerated by the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring efficient and fair copyright enforcement has become a pressing global challenge. This paper explores how algorithmic justice can be leveraged to&#...
