Mehrotra, S. (author), Centeio Jorge, C. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)Appropriate trust is an important component of the interaction between people and AI systems, in that ‘inappropriate’ trust can cause disuse, misuse or abuse of AI. To foster appropriate trust in AI, we need to understand how AI systems can elicit appropriate levels of trust from their users. Out of the aspects that influence trust, this paper...journal article 2024

Tolsma, Pieter (author)Transparency and specularity are challenging phenomena that modern depth perception systems have to deal with in order to be used in practice. A promising family of depth estimation methods is Multi-View Stereo (MVS), which combines multiple RGB images to predict depth, thus circumventing the need for costly specialized hardware. Although...master thesis 2023
