3D Plant Structure Generation: Working towards an autonomous greenhouse

As the global population continues to increase, so does its dependance on food, which has led to the development of more efficient food production methods. Greenhouse horticulture and genetically modified seeds have increased crop yield and decreased water and energy consumption. However, delicate greenhouse-grown vegetables continue to...

Experimental Measurements of Wave Impacts in a Breaking Dam Flow: An Application of Computer Vision for Quantitative Reconstruction of the Free Surface in Breaking Waves

Breaking water waves still represent a very active research area, as they are involved in a broad spectrum of situations ranging from safety at sea to climate change. The detailed knowledge of the location of the free surface in case of breaking waves or wave impacts could prevent structural damages, increase the efficiency of ship hulls and...

GRIP Globally optimal robust 3D point set registration

The aim of this thesis is to provide a robust and globally optimal method for rigid point set registration in the presence of outliers and structured noise. The registration of 2D or 3D point sets is a common problem in computer vision [9], with applications that include aligning MRI/CT scans, and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in...
