Point cloud completion is the task of producing a complete 3D shape given an input of a partial point cloud. It has become a vital process in 3D computer graphics, vision and applications such as autonomous driving, robotics, and augmented reality. These applications often rely on the presence of a complete 3D representation of the environment. Over the past few years, many completion algorithms have been proposed and a substantial amount of research has been carried out. However, there are not many in-depth surveys that summarise the research progress in such a way that allows users to make an informed choice of what algorithms to employ given the type of data they have, the end result they want, the challenges they may face and the possible strategies they could use. In this study, we present a comprehensive survey and classification of articles on point cloud completion untill August 2023 based on the strategies, techniques, inputs, outputs, and network architectures. We will also cover datasets, evaluation methods, and application areas in point cloud completion. Finally, we discuss challenges faced by the research community and future research directions.

Contemporary research in 3D object detection for autonomous driving primarily focuses on identifying standard entities like vehicles and pedestrians. However, the need for large, precisely labelled datasets limits the detection of specialized and less common objects, such as Emergency Medical Service (EMS) and law enforcement vehicles. To address this, we leveraged the Car Learning to Act (CARLA) simulator to generate and fairly distribute rare EMS vehicles, automatically labelling these objects in 3D point cloud data.

The use of AR technology in image-guided neurosurgery enables visualization of lesions that are concealed deep within the brain. Accurate AR registration is required to precisely match virtual lesions with anatomical structures displayed under a microscope. The purpose of this work was to develop a real-time augmented surgical navigation system using contactless line-structured light registration, microscope calibration, and visible optical tracking.

In response to the demand for advanced tools in environmental monitoring and policy formulation, this work leverages modern software and big data technologies to enhance novel road transport emissions research. This is achieved by making data and analysis tools more widely available and customisable so users can tailor outputs to their requirements. Through the novel combination of vehicle emissions remote sensing and cloud computing methodologies, these developments aim to reduce the barriers to understanding real-driving emissions (RDE) across urban environments.

With the rapid increase in end-of-life smartphones, enhancing the automation and intelligence of their recycling processes has become an urgent challenge. At present, the disassembly of discarded smartphones predominantly relies on manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also associated with environmental pollution and high labor intensity. In the context of end-of-life smartphone recycling, complex situations such as stacking and occlusion are commonly encountered.

Article Synopsis
- The study proposes that water-in-water (W/W) emulsions can be created by mixing a polymer and a surfactant, leading to phase segregation when the surfactant's cloud temperature is lowered.
- Experiments involved using an ethoxylated triglyceride surfactant (Kolliphor ELP) with gelatin, where the gelatin reduced the surfactant's cloud temperature, allowing for two distinct aqueous phases to form.
- The findings reveal that this is the first documented case of W/W emulsions formed with a polymer-surfactant mixture, achieving stability through chemically crosslinked microgels and the incorporation of mucin particles.
