The Highland piping tradition requires the performer to learn and accurately reproduce a diverse array of ornaments, which can be a daunting prospect to the novice piper. This paper presents a system which analyses a player’s technique using sensor data obtained from an electronic bagpipe chanter interface. Automatic recognition of a broad range of piping embellishments allows real-time visual ...

Augmented Reality (AR) applications can be used to improve tasks and mitigate errors during facilities operation maintenance. This article presents an AR system for facility management using a three-dimensional (3D) object tracking method. Through spatial mapping, the of interest, pipe trap underneath sink, is tracked mixed onto visualization. From that, maintenance steps are transformed into v...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly being considered in material selection decisions for residential drinking water piping, but chemical leaching during the use phase has typically been excluded, even though delivery of safe core function distribution infrastructure. We have quantified contribution leached organics to life human toxicity piping materials through integration empirical da...
