Signal processing approaches for Jitter extraction in time-of-flight range imaging cameras
(IEEE, 2018)The precision and accuracy of time-of-flight full-field range cameras are important for many applications, however there are a number of noise sources that degrade both precision and accuracy. Many of the noise sources ... -
Tree encroachment may lead to functionally-significant changes in peatland testate amoeba communities
(Elsevier, 2016)Climate change is likely to cause increased tree recruitment on open peatlands but we currently have little idea what consequences this vegetation change may have below-ground. Here we use transects across forested to open ... -
