PAPALEXIOU, ANNIE (author)Although monitoring and maintenance of railways is important to ensure safety and avoid delays and financial losses, it is still mainly based on human inspection. The complexity of a railway along with the large area it extends makes manual monitoring difficult and time-consuming. The increasing availability of 3D acquisition technologies has...master thesis 2021

Bisesser, Dinesh (author)An increasing digital world, comes with many benefits but unfortunately also many drawbacks. The increase of the digital world means an increase in data and software. Developing more software unfortunately also means a higher probability of vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by adversaries. Adversaries taking advantage of users and software...master thesis 2020

Lucassen, Max (author)Least-squares support-vector-machines are a frequently used supervised learning method for nonlinear regression and classification. The method can be implemented by solving either its primal problem or dual problem. In the dual problem a linear system needs to be solved, yet for large-scale problems this can be impractical as current methods...master thesis 2020

Alexandridis, Vasileios (author)Bathymetric Airborne LiDAR technology is used to map the depth of water bodies. It uses a green light sensor which is able to penetrate the water surface and reach the bottom part of the interesting water areas. However, water conditions affect the capability of the green laser penetration. Factors such as the water clarity, the water turbidity ...master thesis 2020

Huijben, Teun (author)<br/>For decades, the resolution of fluorescent light microscopy has been bounded by Abbe’s diffraction limit to λ/2NA. Super-resolution methods, awarded with the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, use tricks to overcome this limit. The general idea is to image blinking fluorophores for a multitude of frames, such that each frame only contains a...master thesis 2020

Gierens, Lena (author)During their service live reinforced and prestressed concrete structures experience deterioration. Therefore, to effectively assure the safety and durability of the compounds, non destructive testing methods, such as Ground Penetrating Radar, employed at high frequencies, provide a rapid assessment of the geometry of the compound. Although...master thesis 2020

Schoustra, Michael (author)This paper explores the topic of anonymous open-world cyclist re-identification. Person re-identification (re-ID) with deep neural networks has made progress and achieved high performance in recent years. However, most existing re-ID works are designed for closed-world scenarios rather than realistic open-world settings, which limits the...master thesis 2020

Taams, M. (author)A lot of studies have been done on Acoustic Emission (AE) covering a wide range of materials and applications. Within a structure that is under loading, AE has proven to be useful in determining the type, location and accumulation of damage within a material. The general goal is to use AE for inservice monitoring of structurally loaded parts....master thesis 2020

Wesselius, Fons (author)Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common age-related, progressive tachyarrhythmia in the USA and in European countries. AF is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, impaired cognitive function, and increased mortality. An obstacle for optimal diagnosis and treatment is the relatively unknown (electro-...master thesis 2020

Verhoeven, Vincent (author)The aim of this thesis project is to investigate the temporal changes of vegetation in Europe using statistical analysis and machine learning. A methodology is used consisting of five main steps. The first is data pre-processing, which is used to reduce the noise within the data set. This is followed by classification, which divides the data...master thesis 2020

Kras, Etienne (author)Today's coastal zones are densely inhabited as the majority of the world's population lives in these attractive areas. The shorelines in coastal zones are shaped by complex spatial and temporal variable interactions between natural forcings like changes in mean sea-level, tides, wave and wind conditions, and storm surges. Besides, natural...master thesis 2019
