A Novel Second-Order Scheme for the Multi-Stencil Fast Marching Method

[12 Feb 2019]

A paper entitled "A Second Order Multi-Stencil Fast Marching Method With a Non-Constant Local Cost Model" has been recently published in the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing. The proposed scheme has been applied to optimal course planning of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a flooding episode, and achieves better tradeoff between the distance travelled by the UAV and the amount of visited flooded land than previous state-of-the-art schemes of the Fast Marching method.

New Scalar diffusion-MRI measures proposed by the group

[07 Sep 2018]

An article entitled "Scalar diffusion-MRI measures invariant to acquisition parameters: A first step towards imaging biomarkers" has recently been published in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging journal (Elsevier). In that work, we propose a new set of quantitative measures based on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging from single-shell acquisitions that are designed to be robust to the variations of several acquisition parameters (number of gradient directions, b-value and SNR) while keeping a high discrimination power on differences in the diffusion characteristics of the tissue.

Project led by LPI member receives an Innovation Award in the UK

[04 Jun 2018]

The project "Low-pixel Automatic Target Detection and Recognition" led by Dr. Pablo Casaseca at University of the West of Scotland with multinational electrical systems group, Thales UK and CENSIS received a Special Commendation Award at the Scottish Knowledge Exchange Awards 2018 . This collaboration saw the development of unique technology, enabling automatic detection of humans and vehicles from up to 1500m using thermal imaging.

Awards and recognition
