Van Laerhoven, C.R. (author)Since their development in the 1970s, mesoscale atmospheric models have been used for a variety of meteorological applications. Over the years, the models have evolved and nowadays, state-of-the-art atmospheric models are capable of operating on spatial resolutions in the order of kilometres. In the hydraulic engineering community, atmospheric...master thesis 2016

Gonnissen, J. (author), De Backer, A. (author), den Dekker, A.J. (author), Sijbers, J. (author), Van Aert, S. (author)In the present paper, the optimal detector design is investigated for both detecting and locating light atoms from high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR STEM) images. The principles of detection theory are used to quantify the probability of error for the detection of light atoms from HR STEM images. To determine the...journal article 2016

Bijster, R.J.F. (author), Sadeghian Marnani, H. (author), van Keulen, A. (author)Optical near-field technologies such as solid immersion lenses and hyperlenses are candidate solutions for high resolution and high throughput wafer inspection and metrology for the next technology nodes. Besides sub-diffraction limited optical performance, these concepts share the necessity of extreme proximity to the sample at distances that...conference paper 2016

Regensburg, S.I. (author)The Oscillatory Flow Baffled Crystallizer (OFBC) design has been proven to offer improved temperature control and near plug plow residence time distributions, while at the same time providing large residence times. These OFBC properties hold the promise of resulting in a narrow crystal size distribution, reduced residence time requirements and...master thesis 2015

Kulkarni, A. (author)In this thesis, a stand-alone, battery powered, wireless temperature sensor that can be used for diagnostic purposes in harsh industrial environments, including magnetic interferences and very low pressure (vacuum), is presented. Being easily mountable and removable during machine stoppage, this autonomous temperature sensor can be used at any...master thesis 2015

Karykis, G. (author)This thesis discusses the d es ign and verification of a high-resolution self-timed incremental ?? ADC. The first self-timed incremental ?? ADC was presented by C.Chen et.al at ISSCC 2013 and this work targets to improve the resolution, linearity and energy-efficiency of a self-timed ADC. Unlike conventional ?? ADCs, a self -timed ADC is capable...master thesis 2015

Dolkens, D. (author)Sub-meter resolution satellite imagery serves a more and more important role in applications ranging from environmental protection, disaster response and precision farming to defence and security. Earth Observation at these resolutions has long been the realm of large and heavy telescopes. The costs of building and launching such systems are...master thesis 2015

Melin, J. (author), Lauri, M. (author), Ritala, R. (author)We construct a stereo vision system mounted on a micro air vehicle applying two high resolution consumer grade cameras. The system hardware and mechanical configuration are presented. A novel image processing algorithm specifically suited for high resolution stereo images is described, and its properties are discussed. Empirical data from...conference paper 2014

(author)The martensitic transformation behaviour of the metastable austenite phase in low-alloyed transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels has been studied in situ using high-energy X-ray diffraction during deformation. The austenite stability during tensile deformation has been evaluated at different length scales. A powder diffraction analysis...journal article 2014

Damsgaard, C.D. (author), Zandbergen, H.W. (author), Hansen, T.W. (author), Chorkendorff, I. (author), Wagner, J.B. (author)Specimen transfer under controlled environment conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and gas composition, is necessary to conduct successive complementary in situ characterization of materials sensitive to ambient conditions. The in situ transfer concept is introduced by linking an environmental transmission electron microscope to an in...journal article 2014

He, Y. (author), Aubry, P. (author), Le Chevalier, F. (author), Yarovoy, A. (author)A new approach is proposed to extract the slow-time feature of human motion in high-resolution radars. The approach is based on the self-similarity matrix (SSM) of the radar signals. The Mutual Information is used as a measure of similarity. The SSMs of different radar signals (high-resolution range profile, micro-Doppler, and range-Doppler...journal article 2014

Fasoula, A. (author)In this thesis, the modeling of extended objects with low-dimensional representations of their 2D geometry is addressed. The ultimate objective is the classification of the objects using libraries of such compact 2D object models that are much smaller than in the state-of-the-art classification schemes based on (High Range Resolution) HRR data....doctoral thesis 2011

Paulissen, W.E. (author)Sedimentary basins form in a range of large-scale tectonic settings involving extensional, compressional or lateral movements. The dynamics of the basin infill are controlled by driving mechanisms such as tectonics, climate and eustatic control. The created accommodation space in the basin is filled by sediments that formed by erosion in the...doctoral thesis 2011

Fasoula, A. (author), Driessen, H. (author), Van Genderen, P. (author)Taking into account sparsity of the reflectivity function of several radar targets of interest, efficient low-complexity automatic target recognition (ATR) systems can be designed. Such ATR systems would be based on two-dimensional (2D) spatial target models of low dimensionality, where critical information on the radar target signature is...journal article 2010

Lemmen, C. (author), Zevenbergen, J.A. (author), Lengoiboni, M. (author), Deininger, K. (author), Burns, T. (author)Since the start of the 21st century, great progress has been made with rural land certification in Ethiopia. This process, however, has been mainly confined to the so called first phase certificates. These certificates do identify the land holding households (with name etc. and photographs), but limit the geo-referencing to indicating the size ...conference paper 2009
