Rigorous Performance Evaluation of Smartphone GNSS/IMU Sensors for ITS Applications
With the rapid growth in smartphone technologies and improvement in their navigation sensors, an increasing amount of location information is now available, opening the road to the provision of new Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services.Current smartphone devices embody miniaturized Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Meas
Confound modelling in UK Biobank brain imaging
Dealing with confounds is an essential step in large cohort studies to address problems such as unexplained variance and spurious correlations.UK Biobank is a powerful resource for studying associations between imaging and non-imaging measures such as lifestyle factors and health outcomes, in part because of the large subject numbers.However, the r
