Building and roof type classification on 3D city models

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, 3D city models have become more accurate and complex. Despite their widespread availability of open-source 3D city model datasets, these invaluable resources remain underutilized. Our primary goal centers on the classification of building and roof types. For our client, Spotr, our work directly impacts on...

From hospital to house: Elderly Healing Space in the Information Society

Would you feel relaxed in hospital? Would you choose to meet a friend there? Would you like to spend your free time there? The answer for most people is no. Hospitals have always been synonymous with fear and sadness. Although it relates to the fact that life and death is a heavy topic, the hospital’s factory-like model and oppressive space...

Validation of a weight compensation for wearable upper extremity support system

DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness, leading to the eventual loss of muscle function. After losing lower extremity function, DMD patients lose the ability to use their arms. To assist individuals with DMD, an upper extremity exoskeleton is being developed to provide support. <br/>...

BaSAL: Class Balanced Warm Start Active Learning for LiDAR Semantic Segmentation

Active learning has been proposed as a solution to mitigate the expensive and time-consuming process of annotating large-scale autonomous driving datasets. The process typically involves a model initialization phase, followed by multiple iterations aiming at selecting the most informative data based on the initial model. However, we find two...

The Resilient Port: Toward a social-ecological integrated estuary and Rotterdam port transformation

The project envisioned a social-ecological resilient waterfront for Rotterdam. By focusing on the outer dike area of Rotterdam, it aims to protect the port from flooding ,and at the same time create more nature habitat for biodiversity. With creating a resilient river, it can re-realize the role of industry and reconnect them into resource flows...

Developing sustainable service design for a pay-per-use dryer

Although manufacturers, designers, product/service providers are innovating for more sustainable products and business models to promote sustainable consumption, there are still gaps between satisfactory user experience and real-sustainable use behaviours. HOMIE.B.V offers pay-per-use household appliances and services to stimulate sustainable...

Arcadia Again

The area was once called Arcadia in the history because of the specific nature landscape and the fact that the rich came here from big cities to build private estate for vacation, holiday and hunting etc. However, this cultural layer is almost missing now and the remained estates are just staying there individually in the area.

Influence of Climate and Vegetation on Root Zone Storage Capacity: A case study in Australia

Root zone storage capacity Sr is a significant variable for hydrology and climate studies, as it strongly influences the hydrological behaviour of a catchment. A climate-derived method (water-balance between precipitation and transpiration) was applied for estimating Sr values for 113 catchments in Australia. Various climate, hydrological and...

Regenerative food landscapes: A strategy towards regenerative agri-food landscapes in the province of South Holland

In the Netherlands landscape and (agri)culture have always influenced each other and there is an inherent relationship between them. Through innovations over time, the province of South-Holland developed profitable productive food-landscapes which provided an important contribution to the Dutch food production and export, making the Netherlands...

“Amerika Natie” Logistics study center complex

This report recorded the process of the research and design. From the site response to program choice, and some critical proplems during the design process. A great number of diagrams introduce the logic of design, and some drawings and renders express the quality of spatial and material design.

Penetrating Structuralsm: A VMBO Education in Centraal Beheer

Parametric modelling for determining aircraft stability & control derivatives

This thesis is part of a project that focuses on developing an optimisation framework for dynamically scaled flight testing. The optimisation framework must design the scale model and the flight test such that the performance of the scale model is representative to the full-scale aircraft. The similarity in the performances between the scale...
