Parallel Real-Time Tracking and 3D Reconstruction with TBB for Intelligent Control and Smart Sensing Framework

Recent advancements in aircraft controllers paired with increasingly flexible aircraft designs create the need for adaptive and intelligent control systems. To correctly capture the motion of a flexible aircraft wing and provide feedback to the controller, a large number of states (nodes along the span) must be monitored in real-time. Visual...

Adaptive real-time clustering method for dynamic visual tracking of very flexible wings

Advancements in intelligent aircraft controller design, paired with increasingly flexible and efficient aircraft concepts, create the need for the development of novel (smart) adaptive sensing suitable for aeroelastic state estimation. In contrast to rigid states, aeroelastic state estimation requires more measurement points (displacements...

Fast Symmetry Detection with Deep Learning and GeConv

n many computer vision applications, it is relevant to know the orientation of the object relative to its symmetry axis. While humans are generally very good at evaluating the reflectional symmetry and relative orientation of objects, constructing a robust symmetry detection pipeline working out of the box is still a challenging task in computer...

Investigation of The Coriolis Effect in Rotating Space Platforms for Space travel

The presence of prolonged microgravity in space has long been known to have a negative impact on the human body such as deterioration of bones and muscles. Rotating space platforms have the potential to mitigate the health risks for prolonged space travel by creating an Earth-like artificial gravity environment for the habitants.

Mitigating the Coriolis Effect in Human Centrifuges by coherent G-misalignment

When coupled with additional degrees of freedom, centrifuge-based motion platforms can combine the agility of an hexapod-basedmotion platform with the ability of sustaining higher Glevels and an extended motion space. This combination of motion characteristics is required for realistic simulation of extreme flight scenarios. However, a false and...

Spectral imaging of Dutch gilt leather for improved conservation strategies

Gilt leather was one of the most fashionable and costly types of wall hangings in the Western world in the 16th to 18th centuries. Despite its appearance, it is not real gold that creates the golden shine, but typically a silver leaf which is coated with an orange-brown lacquer to obtain a golden lustre. Gilt leather has its origins in North...
