An Optimised Deep Neural Network Approach for Forest Trail Navigation for UAV Operation within the Forest Canopy (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Maciel-Pearson, B., & Breckon, T. (2017). An Optimised Deep Neural Network Approach for Forest Trail Navigation for UAV Operation within the Forest Canopy. In Proc. Conf. on Robotics and Autonomous Systems - Robots that Work Among Us Workshop (1-3)

Autonomous flight within a forest canopy represents a key challenge for generalised scene understanding on-board a future Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform. Here we present an approach for automatic trail navigation within such an environment th...

Lonergan's insight and threshold concepts: students in the liminal space (2017)
Journal Article
Heading, D., & Loughlin, E. (2018). Lonergan's insight and threshold concepts: students in the liminal space. Teaching in Higher Education, 23(6), 657-667. https://doi.org/10.1080/13562517.2017.1414792

Threshold concepts are a widely used idea, particularly in curriculum design and evaluation of student learning. However they can be criticised as being hard to identify, vague and teacher imposed. Using the cognitive theory of Bernard Lonergan we ar... Read More about Lonergan's insight and threshold concepts: students in the liminal space.
