Using citations in BSc/MSc theses

Using references in the main text and using images from other works - below various ways to cite the works:

Yang et al. [1] proposed a neural network controller for a wheel loader. Yang et al. do not have a safety system for their robot, but recently Augmented Reality (AR) based safety systems have gained momentum in robotics [2, 3]. In [2] a framework was proposed to perform real-time human-robot collaboration (HRC) for safe collaboration. One disadvantage of these methods is that they do not include ergonomic properties to the safety systems. Ergonomic properties can be included if the human body can be accurately measures. For example, Song et al. [4] proposed a method to scan the human body (Figure 1).

Figure 1: 3D scans of human body often contain holes that need to be filled before further processing. [4]

Special case for theses is when one paragraph is mainly from a single reference in which case the reference is at the end of the paragraph:

In human body scanning there are multiple processing stages. First the body is scanned using a 3D body scanner that produces a 3D point cloud. In the point cloud, there can be missing regions that need to be filled before further processing. The final stages are noise removal and triangulation. [4]
