Integration of 3D tracking systems for Interaction in Spatial Augmented Reality

In this thesis, a projector-based Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) system designed and developed to be applied to support physical and virtual 3D Rapid Prototyping in the field of Industrial Design Engineering is presented. The main contribution is a 3D scanner to get a virtual model of a physical model and tools to support the design of features...

Touch-Based Organization of Patent Collections

The number of patent applications has been growing rapidly: in 2010 the patent application requests increased with 11% at the European Patent Office. It is important that patent examiners can efficiently compare new applications with published patents. Patent examiners review the list of relevant patents, returned by a search query, one at a...

Active multi-camera navigation in video surveillance systems

Active cameras are increasingly used to extend the area coverage and to improve image quality in video surveillance. With such a pan-tilt-zoom camera, operators can control its rotation around two axes and can use an optical zoom to get a better shot. Although multiple video streams are monitored simultaneously on a large grid of displays, they...

Multi-touch in de Library

Verslag van ons BSc eindproject waarbij we de Stay in Touch applicatie, een feed library en meer zaken opgeleverd hebben. Besproken worden oa. het proces (waaronder Scrum), de opgeleverde producten, kennis die we opgedaan hebben, evaluatie en aanbevelingen over verdere ontwikkeling.

Visualization on a Budget for Massive LiDAR Point Clouds

The recent emergence of LiDAR scanning technology has resulted in the availability of very large three dimensional point cloud data sets. An example of such a data set is the AHN2 data set, which contains a high-density point cloud for the Netherlands. The direct visualization of these point cloud data sets is important because it provides the...

TouchPat: A Touch Based Zoomable User Interface for Exploring Large Patent Collections

Patent examiners are under increasing pressure to quickly and accurately evaluate incoming patent applications within large databases. For each incoming patent application, they first extract a subset of possibly relevant patents through keyword-based search queries. These results are summarized in long lists, which provide only minimal...

3D Scenario Editor

Het doel van ons bachelorproject was om de mogelijkheden te onderzoeken voor een intuïtieve 3D editor. Deze editor moest de beperkingen van een 2D editor verhelpen. De door ons gevonden oplossing diende te worden ondersteund met een implementatie in EVE, het visualisatieplatform van TNO. Nadat het Plan van Aanpak2 geschreven was zijn we meteen...

Spatial Navigation for Context-aware Video Surveillance

An increasing number of cameras is being used to monitor a growing range of environments. Consequently, surveillance systems consist of an increasing number of screens to display all incoming video streams, making it difficult for observers to maintain a mental model of spatial relations between videos. A number of systems is developed aiming at...

Immersiveness in serious gaming

De opdracht van deze stage was het onderzoeken van de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van verschillende input devices om het spelen van (serious) games realistischer te maken. Een ander doel van de stage was het onderzoeken van de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van de verschillende simulatie-engines. Als eindproduct is een werkend prototype gemaakt.
