Global Navigation Satellite System is a spatial data acquisition technique, mostly used in navigation and positioning. One of the main components of this technique is the satellite visibility, which refers to the connection between the satellite and the ground receiver. It is known that the GNSS positioning systems are not as performing in urban...

Water management is an integral part of Dutch history, driven by the continuous need to reduce flood risk. Because a large area of the country is located below Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP), there is an ongoing challenge to safely discharge all the water to the sea. Therefore, flood safety policy has become crucial to protect the Netherlands...

The merging of multiple partial maps of indoor environments created<br/>by teams of human or robot agents into a single global map is a key problem<br/>that, when solved, can improve mapping speed and quality. Existing map<br/>merging approaches generally depend on external signals which are not available indoors or only use the geometric...

The kinds of physical spaces present in the real world are becoming ever more complex, and the locations defining the boundaries between these spaces are often arbitrary. Distinguishing between which spaces count as `outdoors,' and which count as `indoors,' becomes more difficult when `semi-outdoor' and `semi-indoor' spaces are considered....

Over the years, the pace at which data is generated keeps on increasing. As a consequence, the data itself no longer holds the highest value, but rather the information and context the data captures are. This principle also holds in the 3D environment modelling scene, as accurately depicting an environment holds more value than the number of...

Spatial data acquisition is rapidly developing, making point clouds available and easily accessible for many applications and to many end-users. Nowadays, point clouds are the main surveying product and have more added value than derived products as they keep details and they are not interpolated. Raw point clouds do not contain information that...

For nearly 200 years the Netherlands’ Cadastre, Land Registry and Mapping Agency – in short ‘Kadaster’ has been the organization that registers and maintains all legal rights concerning property in the Netherlands. An elementary part of its activities is the spatial description of parcels that are built up by boundaries which are surveyed in the...

This thesis presents a new workflow for path finding through an octree representation of an indoor point cloud. I applied the following steps: 1) the point cloud is processed so it fits best in an octree; 2) during the octree generation the interior empty nodes are identified and further processed; 3) for each interior empty node the distance to...

Indoor positioning is becoming a hot topic in public areas that are used by large numbers of people. Finding people and assets in buildings has become more difficult because of the complexity and scale of today’s public space. On the subject of locating assets in the hospital the following use case is defined for this project. Positioning and...

Nederland heeft de ambitie om het aantal dodelijke en ernstige ongevallen met 25% te reduceren. De ontwikkeling van ongevallenvoorspellingsmodellen (OVM’s) kan hier een bijdrage aan leveren. Op basis van de ontwikkeling van OVM’s kunnen allereerst de effecten van het wegontwerp op de verkeersveiligheid beter worden ingeschat dan in de huidige...
