Li, T. (author), Xu, L. (author), Erkin, Z. (author), Lagendijk, R.L. (author)With the fast development of e-commerce, there is a higher demand for timely delivery. Logistic companies want to send receivers a more accurate arrival prediction to improve customer satisfaction and lower customer retention costs. One approach is to share (near) real-time location data with recipients, but this also introduces privacy and...conference paper 2024

Ghavamipour, Ali Reza (author), Turkmen, Fatih (author), Wang, Rui (author), Liang, K. (author)Synthetic data generation plays a crucial role in many areas where data is scarce and privacy/confidentiality is a significant concern. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), arguably one of the most widely used data synthesis techniques, allow for the training of a model (i.e., generator) that can generate real-looking data by playing a min...conference paper 2023

Altena, A. (author), Luesutthiviboon, S. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Voskuijl, M. (author)Due to technological advances in the drone industry, security threats induced by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more relevant. Fast and accurate localisation systems need to be designed. One approach is localisation of UAVs by their sound using acoustic techniques. So far, a systematic performance assessment of acoustic...conference paper 2023

Bartlett, A.J. (author), Liem, C.C.S. (author), Panichella, A. (author)Deep learning (DL) models are known to be highly accurate, yet vulnerable to adversarial examples. While earlier research focused on generating adversarial examples using whitebox strategies, later research focused on black-box strategies, as models often are not accessible to external attackers. Prior studies showed that black-box approaches...conference paper 2023

Sattari, R. (author), van Zeijl, H.W. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)This paper reports the design and fabrication of a 4H-SiC CMOS readout circuit enabling monolithic integration of silicon carbide (SiC) sensors and circuits. Compared to conventional Si electronics, 4H-SiC integrated circuits can sustain operation in harsh conditions such as higher temperatures and radiation levels. The proposed amplifier...conference paper 2023

Ibrahim, M.S. (author), Poliotti, M. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)Typically precast girders are designed and utilized as simple supported members. Alternatively, the precast girders can be made continuous at the intermediate support using cast-in-place concrete topping. Once the girders are made continuous, time-dependent restraint moments will occur. The magnitude of the restraint moment is mainly affected by...conference paper 2023

Wang, Yujie (author), Zhang, Qunfei (author), Ma, Shengqian (author), Zhang, Lingling (author), Han, Jing (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Differential orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is attractive for underwater acoustic (UWA) communications because it can eliminate channel estimation, resulting in a substantial reduction of complexity at the receiver. However, when the channel is time-varying, it may suffer from serious inter-vector interference (IVI), which is...conference paper 2023

Müller, Jan U. (author), Weinmann, M. (author), Klein, Reinhard (author)We propose an efficient and GPU-accelerated sampling framework which enables unbiased gradient approximation for differentiable point cloud rendering based on surface splatting. Our framework models the contribution of a point to the rendered image as a probability distribution. We derive an unbiased approximative gradient for the rendering...conference paper 2022

Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Gijzen, Richard (author), Willebrands, Okke (author), Slooten, Elgar (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Tall timber buildings are of growing interest worldwide and also in the Netherlands. With the introduction of CLT, higher timber buildings are possible compared to traditional timber frame housing. Tall timber buildings can be made as modular buildings or as buildings with a CLT or concrete core and a timber wall/column-floor system that can...conference paper 2021

Ramesha, Raghutham (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author)Graphene is an attractive material to be used for pressure sensors due to its thinness, electrical conductivity, and potential high gauge factor. One of the issues with processing graphene is the scalability, which is largely limited by the transfer process that is required for graphene deposited by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). In this...conference paper 2019
