A 50-million-year-old, three-dimensionally preserved bat skull supports an early origin for modern echolocation (2023)
Journal Article
Hand, S. J., Maugoust, J., Beck, R. M., & Orliac, M. J. (2023). A 50-million-year-old, three-dimensionally preserved bat skull supports an early origin for modern echolocation. Current Biology, 33(21), 4624-4640. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.09.043

Bats are among the most recognizable, numerous, and widespread of all mammals. But much of their fossil record is missing, and bat origins remain poorly understood, as do the relationships of early to modern bats. Here, we describe a new early Eocene...

A new deep CNN for 3D text localization in the wild through shadow removal (2023)
Journal Article
Shivakumara, P., Banerjee, A., Nandanwar, L., Pal, U., Antonacopoulos, A., Lu, T., & Blumenstein, M. (2024). A new deep CNN for 3D text localization in the wild through shadow removal. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 238, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cviu.2023.103863

Text localization in the wild is challenging due to the presence of 2D and 3D texts, the presence of shadows, arbitrary orientated text with non-linear arrangements, varying lighting conditions as well as complex background. This paper proposes the f... Read More about A new deep CNN for 3D text localization in the wild through shadow removal.

Silica sources for arsenic mitigation in rice: machine learning-based predictive modeling and risk assessment. (2023)
Journal Article

Arsenic (As) is a well-known human carcinogen, and the consumption of rice is the main pathway for the South Asian people. The study evaluated the impact of the amendments involving CaSiO , SiO nanoparticles, silica solubilizing bacteria (SSB), and...

Optimizing Inference Distribution for Efficient Kidney Tumor Segmentation Using a UNet-PWP Deep-Learning Model with XAI on CT Scan Images (2023)
Journal Article
Rao, P. K., Chatterjee, S., Janardhan, M., Nagaraju, K., Khan, S. B., Almusharraf, A., & Alharbe, A. I. (in press). Optimizing Inference Distribution for Efficient Kidney Tumor Segmentation Using a UNet-PWP Deep-Learning Model with XAI on CT Scan Images. Diagnostics, 13(20), 3244. https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics13203244

Kidney tumors represent a significant medical challenge, characterized by their often-asymptomatic nature and the need for early detection to facilitate timely and effective intervention. Although neural networks have shown great promise in disease p...

What do we know about noise impacts on birds? A systematic review focusing on acoustic methodology (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In recent years, several studies have shown how anthropogenic noise impacts wildlife. The methodologies used to quantify noise appear to influence data reliability and subsequent findings. Therefore, it is appropriate to review the robustness of acou... Read More about What do we know about noise impacts on birds? A systematic review focusing on acoustic methodology.
