Jiang, Minyue (author)The frequency of flooding events is estimated to increase in the Rhine Basin. Cities are becoming increasingly sensitive to climate change, and urban sprawl and urban population growth are bringing more and more people and areas into the risk. The thesis project is about the flooding resilience future in the lower Rhine River basin. The lack of...master thesis 2022

Jiang, Yingfeng (author)This thesis presents a method for personnel activities observation, i.e., 3D human pose estimation and tracking, in a Catheterization Laboratory(Cath Lab). We mount five cameras from different angles in the Cath Lab, where surgeons and assistants are in similar clothes while doing surgery. Accurate 3D human pose estimation is the cornerstone of...master thesis 2022

Jiang, Ruiyun (author)The water balance model has been an indispensable tool for quantifying water supply and demand and regulating water resources for decades. By convention, hydrologists use in-situ measurements of river discharge for model calibration. Whereas hardly is it possible for areas suffering from data storage. Researchers have been working on methods...master thesis 2022

Liu, Letao (author), Jiang, Xudong (author), Saerbeck, Martin (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author)This paper proposes a Recurrent Affine Transform Encoder (RATE) that can be used for image representation learning. We propose a learning architecture that enables a CNN encoder to learn the affine transform parameter of images. The proposed learning architecture decomposes an affine transform matrix into two transform matrices and learns them...journal article 2022

Yuan, Xiaotian (author), Jia, L. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Jiang, Min (author)Human activities modulate the impact of environmental forcing in general and of climate in particular. Information on the spatial and temporal patterns of human activities is in high demand, but scarce in sparsely populated and data-poor regions such as Northern Africa. The intensity and spatial distribution of nighttime lights provide useful...journal article 2022

(author)Realization of an electrical aircraft demands a low-weight electric distribution and propulsion system. The use of high voltage and power electronics operated at high switching frequencies is essential to achieve this objective. However, printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electrified aircraft are in a harsh working environment, which can make...journal article 2022

(author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author)Workflow analysis is a young research field that has been gaining traction in recent years. Work in this field aims to improve the efficiency and safety in operating rooms by analysing surgical processes and providing feedback or support, where observations are made and evaluated by algorithms rather than human experts. For our study, we mount...conference paper 2022

(author)High electric-field stress is an effective solution to the recovery of irradiated devices. In this paper, the dependence of the recovery level on the magnitude of gate voltage and duration is investigated. Compared with the scheme of high gate-bias voltage with a short stress time, the transfer characteristics are significantly recovered by...journal article 2022
