Hazelaar, Sander (author)New insights into the landing behavior of bumblebees show an adaptive strategy where the optical flow expansion of the landing target is step-wise regulated. In this article, the potential benefits of this approach are studied by replicating the landing experiment with a quadrotor. To this end, an open-loop switching method is developed,...master thesis 2024

Basting, Mark (author)In real-life scenarios, there are many variations in sizes of objects of the same category and the objects are not always placed at a fixed distance from the camera. This results in objects taking up an arbitrary size of pixels in the image. Vanilla CNNs are by design only translation equivariant and thus have to learn separate filters for...master thesis 2023

van den Berg, Jasper (author)The traumatic loss of a hand is a horrific experience usually followed by significant psychological, functional and rehabilitation challenges. Even though much progress has been made in the past decades, the prosthetic challenge of restoring the human hand functionality is still far from being achieved. Autonomous prosthetic hands showed...master thesis 2023

Karnani, Simran (author)In recent years, there has been a growing interest among researchers in the explainability, fairness, and robustness of Computer Vision models. While studies have explored the usability of these models for end users, limited research has delved into the challenges and requirements faced by researchers investigating these requirements. This study...master thesis 2023

Haarman, Luuk (author)Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) benefit from fine-grained details in high-resolution images, but these images are not always easily available as data collection can be expensive or time-consuming. Transfer learning pre-trains models on data from a related domain before fine-tuning on the main domain, and is a common strategy to deal with...master thesis 2023

Sharma, Anirvin (author)Image data augmentation has been regarded as a reliable and effective way to increase the data available for training. With the advent and rise of Generative AI, generative data augmentation has been shown to realize even better gains in performance for downstream tasks. However, these performance gains are often the cause of "extra information"...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Frans (author)In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of current progress prediction methods on the currently used benchmark datasets. We show that the progress prediction methods can fail to extract useful information from visual data on these datasets. Moreover, when the methods fail to extract visual information, memory-based methods adopt a frame...master thesis 2023

Jol, Cees (author)Strawberries have a short shelf-life time and thus need to be harvested at the right time to reduce waste. To this end, information about quality attributes is useful. Recently, many computer vision methods have been proposed. Most literature analyzes postharvest, which means that strawberries can only be analyzed after harvesting. As a result,...master thesis 2022

Sitaldin, Dewwret (author)In the open world, machine learning (ML) models can encounter a multitude of unknown or novel classes. In a surveillance, safety, or security use case, unknown samples can pose potential threats that are hard to detect since those samples have never been trained on. At the same time, most of the unknowns that will be encountered by a...master thesis 2022
