da Silva, Luís Simões (author), Tankova, T. (author)This paper deals with the face plate component in steel joints and addresses the full characterization of the nonlinear behaviour of the face plate component. An equivalent beam strip model is proposed that tackles the connection of a beam to the column web of open I-sections in a minor axis joint or the face of tubular columns, covering...journal article 2024

Humblet Vertongen, Marie (author)Face recognition using lidar presents challenges arising from high dimensionality and data sparsity, especially at longer distances. This paper proposes a novel approach for face recognition via automotive lidar. The approach leverages a combination of deep learning and point cloud processing techniques. After identification of the facial point...master thesis 2023

Boz, Artun (author)Face clustering is a subfield of computer vision and pattern recognition with many applications such as face recognition and surveillance. Accurate clustering of faces can also help us to create labeled datasets. However, in the domain of comics, face clustering is not well studied. Therefore, it is uncertain which methods of feature extraction...bachelor thesis 2023

Conde, Jorge (author), Simões da Silva, Luis (author), Francisca Santos, Ana (author), Lemma, Melaku Seyoum (author), Tankova, T. (author)The component method for joint analysis relies on the formulation of stiffness and strength of individual parts to derive the global properties of the joint. One of these components is the web of an open I-section, or the face of a rectangular hollow section, hereby referred to as face plate. It is currently not codified despite its frequent...journal article 2023

Cardaioli, Matteo (author), Conti, M. (author), Orazi, Gabriele (author), Tricomi, Pier Paolo (author), Tsudik, Gene (author)Authentication and de-authentication phases should occur at the beginning and end of secure user sessions, respectively. A secure session requires the user to pass the former, but the latter is often underestimated or ignored. Unattended or dangling sessions expose users to well-known Lunchtime Attacks. To mitigate this threat, researchers...journal article 2023

Zheng, X. (author), Yang, Feng (author), Shiau, Jim (author), Lai, F. (author), Dias, Daniel (author)This paper presents a stability study on the collapse mechanisms of a plane-strain tunnel face in c-ϕ soils using the upper bound finite element method with rigid translatory moving elements (UBFELA-RTME) and nonlinear programming technique. Practical considerations are given to the unlined length influence behind the tunnel face. An advanced...journal article 2023

Vargas Quiros, J.D. (author), Cabrera Quiros, L.C. (author), Oertel, Catharine (author), Hung, H.S. (author)Although laughter is known to be a multimodal signal, it is primarily annotated from audio. It is unclear how laughter labels may differ when annotated from modalities like video, which capture body movements and are relevant in in-the-wild studies. In this work we ask whether annotations of laughter are congruent across modalities, and...journal article 2023

Therias, Adele (author), Theodoridou, Eleni (author), PAPADIMITRIOU, CHRYSANTHI (author), Visser, Fabian (author), Zhang, Fengyan (author), Panagiotidou, Ioanna (author)Currently more than 4 billion people live in urban areas around the globe, a trend that is expected to be increased in the upcoming years. While urbanisation provides the space for innovation and new opportunities, in the meantime physical, technical and social challenges are rising and the cities’ vulnerability is increasing. A tool to tackle...student report 2022

Gudi, A.A. (author)Machines that interact with humans can do so better if they can also visually understand us, but they have limited resources to do so. The main topic of this dissertation is contrasting the use of resources by machine vision systems against the accuracy obtained by them. This thesis focuses on reducing the need for data, memory, and computation...doctoral thesis 2022

Tuit, Charlotte (author)This study evaluates the face validity of the Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) method. The PVE is an online method that enables participation for a large group of participants. This method is designed for citizens to evaluate a complex situation from a policy makers point of view. If a consultation lacks face validity, there is a likelihood...master thesis 2022

MačEk, Nejc (author), Usta, B. (author), Eisemann, E. (author), Marroquim, Ricardo (author)Video-streaming services usually feature post-processing effects to replace the background. However, these often yield inconsistent lighting. Machine-learning-based relighting methods can address this problem, but, at real-time rates, are restricted to a low resolution and can result in an unrealistic skin appearance. Physically-based...journal article 2022

Mazala, Diego (author), Esperança, Claudio (author), Marroquim, Ricardo (author)Designing realistic tridimensional facial models is a challenging task, not only due to the effort and artistic abilities required but also because human visual perception is very tuned to the processing of facial features. For this reason, rather than creating face models from scratch, artists usually start from a scanned model of a real...journal article 2022
