Dumitru-Guzu, M. (author)
This work presents an approach for joint estimation of the pedestrian head and body orientation in the context of active pedestrian safety systems. It involves a probabilistic framework, where a set of orientation-specific detectors are used for each body part for both localization and orientation estimation, their responses being converted to a...

Retail business is radically changing in this decade, due to (mobile) internet and changing relationships with consumers. In order to thrive in this new world, G-Star should adapt to create a seamless partnering experience with it’s customers - something quite different from the current sales and distribution approach. I have designed such an...

With a growing threat from space debris, it has become more important for space agencies to have a means of reducing the probability of escalating the dangers posed by it. For this purpose, servicer satellites need to be built. These satellites need to be able to interfere with “dead” satellites and deorbit defunct satellites. In order to be...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder. Surgery is sometimes recommended, by specialists, for severe OSA. In that case, an endoscopic investigation with the patient under sedation would take place. By automating the detection of upper airway collapsing from the endoscopic video, we hope to assist doctors in their diagnostic of...

The challenge in this thesis is to find out if an off-the-shelf embedded system can replace an off-the-shelf laptop or desktop computer when its task is to perform vision-based velocity control using inverse kinematics on a robotic arm. The results of this thesis are that an algorithm was developed which had to be tested in simulation and should...

Introduction: Paintings are versatile near-planar objects with material characteristics that vary widely. The fact that paint has a material presence is often overlooked, mostly due to the fact that we encounter many of these artworks through two dimensional reproductions. The capture of paintings in the third dimension is not only interesting...

Manipulation is a key feature for robots which are designed to work in daily environments like homes, offices and streets. These robots do not often have manipulators that are specialized for specific tasks, but grippers that can grasp the target object. This makes grasping a crucial ability that enables many manipulation tasks. Robotic grasping...

Gaiser, J.C. (author)
This thesis introduces a new algorithm that generates candidate proposals for an object detection pipeline. We introduce Stochastic Selective Search (SSS), a segmentation based selective search method, which differs from previous work in two ways. First and most importantly, SSS is much faster than current state-of-the-art algorithms while...

Due to population ageing, the cost of health care will raise in the coming years. One way to help humans, and especially elderly people, is the introduction of domestic robots that can assist people in daily life such that they are less dependent on home care. Joint visual attention models can be used for natural robot-human interaction. Joint...

Business is changing and recently there has been a call for new ways of thinking to solve todays strategic innovation challenges. One of the solutions considered is Design Thinking, but a pragmatic approach in how to implement this new way of thinking into the domain of innovation strategy is lacking. This thesis aims to bridge the worlds of...

Recent improvements in mobile technology have allowed computationally intensive augmented reality systems to become increasingly ubiquitous. As will be shown in this thesis an increasing number of companies have started developing markerless AR systems that can be used professionally. Robust pose estimation is essential for such systems to...

On January 10th 2012 the statue of Prometheus, standing in front of the Aula, was stolen from the TU Delft. This statue was made specially for the TU Delft for its 100th anniversary in 1953. This thesis aims to reconstruct a digital 3d model of the stolen statue of Prometheus. We do this based on a set of photographs of the statue that were...

With the rise of self-services at airports, time has come to take the next step in optimizing KLM’s passenger ground process at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AAS). In the current non-Schengen departure process at Schiphol the various touch points that a passenger encounters in the process do not communicate with each other and there is no...

Runia, T.F.H. (author)
In this thesis we design, implement and study a high-speed object detection framework. Our baseline detector uses integral channel features as object representation and AdaBoost as supervised learning algorithm. We suggest the implementation of two approximation techniques for speeding up the baseline detector and show their effectiveness by...

Industrial firms are facing a constant dilemma, to be ready for the future, have a vision, and at the same time act within the current situation, exploit current products efficiently. This research examines visions that embody future opportunities and ideas, “vision concepts” such as concept cars and concept kitchens. We studied five cases of...

Human perception is an active process. By altering its viewpoint rather than passively observing surroundings and by operating on sequences of images rather than on a single frame, the human visual system has the ability to explore the most relevant information based on knowledge, therefore when growing up a human is able to develop cognitive...

Project goal The healthcare sector is subject to change resulting in a more private character. Healthcare organizations are strategically reorganizing and rehousing their activities for them to have a stronger position while aiming to be more patient centered. For the development of buildings healthcare organizations turn to building...

In many daily contexts, we prefer natural ‘materials’ over un-natural ones. Textiles embodied in garments that are worn on the body all day, or in bed sheets slept under every night touch us literally, on a daily basis. Hence among all other materials, ‘naturalness perception’ has a strong impact on the preference for textile products....

The metabolic flows of cities have to be reduced. Thus far, efforts have been mainly directed to providing the city with renewable resources, diminish resource consumption, and/or reuse the wastes and emissions. The dense fabric of urban infrastructures does not only provide a high level of services. By the proximity of infrastructures symbiosis...

In the landscape of design research, several techniques of speculative design -or design about ideas- have been positioned, each with a different time<br/>frame. Design Fiction and Critical Design, for instance, emerged as making activities that explore the near and the speculative future, respectively. We previously defined<br/>Vision Concepts...
