Martens, Bruno (author)Critical to the safe application of autonomous vehicles is the ability to accurately predict the future motion of agents surrounding the vehicle. This is especially important - and challenging - in urban traffic, where vehicles share the road with Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) such as pedestrians and cyclists. However, the majority of the...master thesis 2023

Hoendermis, Dora (author)Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for cancer and relies heavily on CT images to calculate radiation dose. With research on radiotherapy moving to adaptive treatments aiming to calculate these doses at real-time speeds while maintaining high precision, a need for accurate CT imaging at comparable real-time speeds has emerged. Currently,...master thesis 2023

Blom, Joris (author)Fog plays a major role in chain collisions. Proper fog detection is essential for the Dutch road authority to anticipate foggy weather conditions. Dozens of stations in the Netherlands can measure fog. However, fog can be a very local phenomenon. Therefore, more local measurements are needed. There are about 5,000 traffic cameras in...master thesis 2023

Goedhart, Aisha (author)Primary liver cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer and accurate diagnosis is crucial for treatment planning. To differentiate between malignant and benign liver tumors, contrast-enhanced MRI is typically used as it provides information over multiple contrast phases. However, diagnosis based on MRI is challenging. In this study, automatic...master thesis 2023

van Oosterhoudt, Ruben (author)Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a commonly used technique for the initial diagnosis of gliomas. T1, T2, T2-FLAIR, and post-contrast T1 with gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) can show tumor characteristics. However, using this contrast agent poses a risk to patients with kidney failures, has environmental impact, and increases...master thesis 2023

Bayraktar, Kerem (author)The term ”Algal Bloom” refers to the accumulation of algae in a confined geological space. They may harm human health and negatively affect ecological systems around the area. Thus, forecasting algal blooms could mitigate the environmental and socio-economical damages. Particularly, the use of deep learning methods could distinguish underlying...bachelor thesis 2023

Malfliet, Jari (author)Wind estimation plays an important role in many aspects of our world, both for nowcasting and forecasting. This is also true for aircraft flight routes; where wind field knowledge can contribute to flight planning and safety. Aircraft can relay flight information back to ground-based receivers, from which local wind measurements can be derived....master thesis 2023

Focante, Edoardo (author)In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have seen a surge in popularity due to their ability to model complex patterns and relationships in data. One of the challenges of using NNs is the requirement for large amounts of labelled data to train the model effectively. In many real-world applications such as radar, labelled data may be scarce due to...master thesis 2023

Dobson, Daniel (author)Street view imagery (SVI) is one of the largest (growing) resources in urban analytics. A global close-up of the urban environment, if you will, which is rich in (untapped) information such as floor count. Floor count is useful in many applications, from improving energy consumption calculations to creation of 3D city models without elevation...master thesis 2023

de Jonge, Sterre (author)Introduction. Needle electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic tool used to identify and localise neuromuscular disorders, but the current evaluation by a neurologist is subjective and requires years of training. Artificial intelligence can be used to automatically classify needle EMG signals. However, previous studies in this area have been...master thesis 2023

Westfalewicz, Andrzej (author)Software security plays a crucial role in the modern world governed by software. And while closed source projects can enjoy a sense of confidentiality when addressing security issues, open source projects undertake them publicly even though just as many projects rely on them. In 50% of documented cases, the vulnerabilities could have been...master thesis 2023
