Accelerating Monte Carlo simulations with an NVIDIA® graphics processor
(Elsevier, 2009)Modern graphics cards, commonly used in desktop computers, have evolved beyond a simple interface between processor and display to incorporate sophisticated calculation engines that can be applied to general purpose ... -
A combined optical, thermal and electrical performance model of a Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal Concentrator (BIPVTC)
(School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, Massey University., 2011)The electrical output of concentrating photovoltaic devices is significantly affected by the temperature of the photovoltaic cells. The ability to actively cool photovoltaic cells under concentrated radiation allows their ... -
Defocus restoration for a full-field heterodyne ranger via multiple return separation
(IVCNZ, 2007)Full-field heterodyne time-of-flight range-imagers allow a large number of range measurements to be taken simultaneously across an entire scene; these range measurements may be corrupted due to limited depth of field. We ... -
Development of a multispectral imaging system for apple firmness prediction
(2015)Multispectral imaging has been studied in recent years as a means of assessing fruit firmness. Here we report on the development of a static multispectral imaging system (MSI) that was used to validate the potential of the ... -
The development of a novel large area building integrated solar collector for pool heating
(2010)Unglazed solar collectors have often been used a means of providing low cost heating to swimming pools. However, these systems are typically polymer style “mats” that are laid on top of a roof, often leading to poor ...

Spatially resolved spectroscopy for detecting firmness and internal disorders of horticultural products
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Nondestructive detection of firmness and internal disorders are critical for New Zealand’s horticultural industry. Soft and internally defective products can result both in loss of revenue and the supplier’s reputation for ... -
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy applied to pasture, titanium, and bioplastics
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Precision agriculture is a farming practice that makes production more efficient. Farmers are able to treat infield variability optimising efficiency, growth, and yield by tailoring the time, rate, and type of fertilizer ... -
Optical Techniques for Fruit Firmness Assessment
(University of Waikato, 2015)This thesis describes the design and development of a new high-speed multispectral imaging (MSI) system compatible with a commercial grading line. The purpose of this system was to carry out spatially resolved spectroscopy ... -
Investigation of surge propagation in transient voltage surge suppressors and experimental verification
(University of Waikato, 2014)An on-going question in the field of surge protection study is how to predict incipient failure of power electronics in the event of a short time, high voltage, and high energy transient surge propagation. The work presented ... -
Milk Spectroscopy
(University of Waikato, 2013)This thesis examines the capability of two different MicroNIR spectrometers to measure the composition of raw milk for an online milk sensor. On-farm milk testing is an important tool in a developed dairy market. It is ...
