Analytical camera pose estimation and inverse modelling of high order radial lens distortion polynomials for close range photogrammetry by Ikokou, Guy Blanchard

“…The experimental results demonstrate that both developed calibration strategies achieved root mean square reprojection errors of 0.0843 and 0.057 pixels, respectively. These values are substantially lower than those reported by several current state- of-the-art methods, which exhibit average errors around 3.63 pixels. …”

The reliability of 10 km treadmill time trial performance and the effect of different high intensity interval training strategies on 10 km running performance and associated physio... by Kirkman, Mark Courtney

“…Comparisons in performance time were made between the 10 km treadmill time trials to determine the typical percent error between these trials. Additionally, comparisons were made between the track and treadmill time trials. …”

Identification of Wastewater Primary Sludge Composition using Augmented Batch Tests and Mathematical Models by Gaszynski, Christopher

“…The Augmented Biochemical Sulphide Potential (AugBSP) Test: A test aimed to improve the accuracy of the AugBMP test, as methanogenesis was replaced by Biological Sulphate Reduction (BSR), minimising the gas measurement error commonly experienced during the BMP test. …”

Understanding blood pressure dynamics in the South African population: a latent variables approach to the analysis and comparison of data from multiple surveys by Cois, Annibale

“…Specifically, analytical methods should take explicitly into account known sources of measurement and representation error to reduce their biasing effects, especially when inter‐survey comparisons are involved. …”
