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...

When a patient is in a hospital, it is very important to monitor their vital signs. Doctors and nurses use this information to assess the condition of the patient. Most of the existing vital signs measurement devices need physical contact with the patient. This thesis focuses on a non-contact vital signs estimation method. Using a mmWave radar,...

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...

The recent advances in wireless communication, micro-fabrication, and integration have led to the rise of multi-agent networks such as wireless sensor networks, drone swarms, and satellite arrays. These multi-agent networks comprise multiple agents, which cooperate to solve a problem collectively, beyond the individual knowledge of a single...

Accurate short term rain predictions are important for flood early warning systems, emergency services, energy management and other services that that make weather dependent decisions. Recently introduced machine learning models suffer from blurry and unrealistic predictions at longer lead times, causing poor performance on the rarer heavy...

Nowadays, the aging problem is shaking the root of the healthcare system in many countries, an automatic human activity recognition (HAR) is seen as a promising solution to that problem. In particular, radar-based HAR attracts people’s attention thanks to its respect for privacy and functionality in poor lighting conditions. With a lot of...

With the development of machine learning techniques, more and more classification models have been designed for seizure detection. The creation of these models has dramatically improved the convenience of epilepsy detection and made seizure labeling automation possible. However, many of the current researches in this field use EEG datasets with...

Nowadays, radar has been applied to human activity classification in the aging-in-place for health monitoring. The complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) have been only minimally explored, especially on complex-valued radar signals, and there is an outstanding question on whether CVNNs can contribute to improving classification performance. This...

THz time-domain systems driven by photoconductive antennas (PCAs) promise a bandwidth of the order of hundreds of GHz. This characteristic can be utilized to build see-through radars with sub-mm resolution and a field of view comparable to the current mm-wave radars at a relatively low cost. These radars can solve the issues in the field of...

Autonomous robots are increasingly used in more and more applications, such as warehouse robots, search-and-rescue robots and autonomous vacuum cleaners. These applications are often in environments where the GPS signals are denied or inaccurate, which makes it difficult to localize the robot in an unknown environment. To overcome this problem...

Most wireless devices use the radio frequency spectrum which is reaching its limits, as almost all frequencies are in use. Devices which communicate on the same radio frequencies are interfering with each other and this creates problems in the communication. Currently, there are around 10 billion of these devices. This number is rapidly growing...

Accurate short-term forecasts, also known as nowcasts, of heavy precipitation are desirable for creating early warning systems for extreme weather and its consequences, e.g. urban flooding. In this research, we explore the use of machine learning for short-term prediction of heavy summer rainfall showers in the Netherlands. We explore the use of...

When symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AF), a common cardiac arrhythmia, are experienced, a Holter monitor or event recorder is used for official diagnosis. Apart from the fact that these devices are experienced as inconvenient, AF can already manifest damage in a pre-symptomatic phase. This thesis is aimed at developing a method for recording...

Micro air vehicles (MAVs) are increasingly being considered for aerial tasks such as delivery of goods and surveillance due to their lightweight, compact design and manoeuvrability. To safely and reliably carry out these tasks and navigate to its objective, especially in complex and cluttered environments, the MAV is also required to sense and...

On land, localization or ranging is typically performed by using electromagnetic waves. In an underwater environment, this becomes difficult, as electromagnetic waves dampen out fast. As a solution often acoustic waves are used to perform localization. Because of the complexity of underwater acoustic propagation, an acoustic propagation model is...

Environmental sound identification and recognition aim to detect sound events within an audio clip. This technology is useful in many real-world applications such as security systems, smart vehicle navigation and surveillance of noise pollution, etc. Research on this topic has received increased attention in recent years. Performance is...

This thesis focuses on classifying AF and Normal rhythm ECG recordings. AF is a common arrhythmia occurring in millions of people every year, which could lead to blood clots, stroke or even heart failure. When AF is occurring, the P waves are often absent and RR intervals are often irregular. <br/><br/>This thesis proposes a new Poincaré plot...

Currently, most of FMCW radar systems for target detection and localization are based on the radar system with multiple receiving antennas, but little based on the SISO system. In this project, we will show a unique signal processing pipeline based on the 8 GHz SISO FMCW radar system. An advanced algorithm of multi-target detection and tracking...
