Noppen, Marko (author)Adaptive optics are widely used to correct the wavefront distortion imposed by atmospheric turbulence. Focal plane phase retrieval from intensity measurements has advantages due to the ease of implementation, potential broader application, less computations, low cost, high system bandwidth, simplified hardware and less calibration. To cope with...master thesis 2019

van der Valk, Daan (author)Side-channel attacks (SCA) aim to extract a secret cryptographic key from a device, based on unintended leakage. Profiled attacks are the most powerful SCAs, as they assume the attacker has a perfect copy of the target device under his control. In recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have became popular as...master thesis 2019

Chen, Joe (author)For the real-world face recognition, factors such as occlusion and pose-variant (cross face) would affect the identification/verification performance. In addition, large number of classes also increase the complexity, which makes verification/identification even harder. In order to deal with these issues, how to extract discriminative embeddings...master thesis 2019

Hoogendoorn, Jasper (author)In this thesis, we study the sequential Monte Carlo method for training neural networks in the context of time series forecasting. Sequential Monte Carlo can be particularly useful in problems in which the data is sequential, noisy and non-stationary. We compare this algorithm against a gradient-based method known as stochastic gradient descent ...master thesis 2019

García Sanz, María (author)Patients with 1p/19q co-deleted low grade glioma (LGGs) have better prognosis and react better to certain treatments than patients with intact 1p/19q LGG. Currently, information about the 1p/19q co-deletion status is obtained by means of an invasive procedure called biopsy. As an alternative, non-invasive techniques to extract this information...master thesis 2019

Dürnay, Philipp (author)Autonomous MAV are an emerging technology that supports a wide range of applications such as medical delivery or finding survivors in disaster scenarios. As flying in such missions is difficult the robust estimation of an MAV's state within its environment is crucial to ensure safe operation. In indoor scenarios, cameras are one of the...master thesis 2018

Rao, Shashank (author)Sleep is a natural state of our mind and body during which our muscles heal and our memories are consolidated. It is such a habitual phenomenon that we have been viewing it as another ordinary task in our day-to-day life. However, owing to the current fast-paced, technology-driven generation, we are letting ourselves be sleep-deprived, giving...master thesis 2018

Wijnker, Dirk (author)We investigate how an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) can detect manned aircraft with a single microphone. In particular, we create an audio data set in which UAV ego-sound and recorded aircraft sound can be mixed together, and apply convolutional neural networks to the task of air traffic detection. Due to restrictions on flying UAVs close to...master thesis 2018

Suryamurthy, Vivekanandan (author)Intelligent terrain perception for search-and-rescue robotic applications, requires a high-level understanding of both the terrain type and its chief physical characteristics. Roughness is one such important terrain property, since it could play a key role in robot control/planning strategies, while navigating<br/>in an unknown environment. In...master thesis 2018

Shi, Xiangwei (author)We propose a framework to interpret deep convolutional models for visual place classification. Given a deep place classification model, our proposed method produces visual explanations and saliency maps that reveal the understanding of images by the model. To evaluate the interpretability, t-SNE algorithm is used for mapping and visualization of...master thesis 2018

Hao, Haidong (author)Percutaneous coronary intervention is a minimally-invasive procedure to treat coronary artery disease. In such procedures, X-ray angiography, a real-time imaging technique, is commonly used for image guidance to identify lesion sites and navigate catheters and guide-wires within coronary arteries. Due to the physical nature of X-ray imaging,...master thesis 2018

Claus, Michele (author)We propose a novel Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Video Denoising called VidCNN, which is capable to denoise videos without prior knowledge on the noise distribution (Blind). VidCNN is a flexible model, since it tackles multiple noise types, artificial and real. The CNN architecture uses a combination of spatial and temporal filtering,...master thesis 2018

Samiotis, Ioannis Petros (author)Side-Channel Attacks, are a prominent type of attacks, used to break cryptographic implementations on a computing system. They are based on information "leaked" by the hardware of a computing system, rather than the encryption algorithm itself. Recent studies showed that Side-Channel Attacks can be performed using Deep Learning models. In this...master thesis 2018
