Background
Dr Stuart Barnes is a lecturer in Computational Intelligence and Data Analytics at Cranfield University. He received his PhD and MSc in Computer Vision from Cranfield University after completing his BSc and MSc in Physics from the University of Kent at Canterbury. Stuart has also spent time working in industry, specifically in the development and deployment of commercial scientific and technical software. He has worked at companies in the UK, Europe and the US.
Research opportunities
Stuart's research interests are based on topics within the fields of Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering. These include:
- HCI and Gesture Recognition
- Surveillance and Security
- Autonomous Vehicles and Operations
- Vision Based Metrology
Stuart has participated in a number of academic and industry sponsored research projects, including:
- Damage detection and damage tolerance in rotating mechanical systems (Westlands)
- ROADSense (Jaguar Cars Ltd, EU)
- MoD Grand Challenge (Saturn consortium)
- Road Pavement Condition Monitoring (TRL Ltd)
- Automated Testing of Vehicle Instrument Clusters (JLR)
