MENG, YUQI (author)Traditionally, archaeological investigations, especially archaeological remains detection, mostly depend on human observation. In order to find the objects in large areas, a lot of fieldwork has to be done and it takes a long time for archaeologists to travel around. Nowadays, the development of LIDAR provides accurate 3D geometric information,...master thesis 2023

Hulskemper, Daan (author)The Earth's landscapes are shaped by processes eroding, transporting, and depositing material over various timespans and spatial scales. To understand these surface activities and mitigate potential hazards they inflict, knowledge is needed of their occurrences and properties. Near-continuous terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables the...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Adam (author)The following report will enlighten to which extent LiDAR data could enhance land cover classification. It focuses on the area Lemps (26510) in Southwest France where a land cover classification was made using Sentinel-2 spectral images during the fieldwork. Using the additional LiDAR data, the focus shifts to distinguish coniferous and...bachelor thesis 2023

Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Cserép, Máté (author)The evolution and spreading of data capturing methods ranging from simple GPS devices like smart-phones to large scale imaging equipment – including very high resolution and hyperspectral cameras and LiDAR – resulted in an exponential growth in the amount of spatial data maintained by companies and organizations. At the same time methods for...journal article 2023

Gordon, Matthew (author), Batallé Garcia, A. (author), De Wolf, Catherine (author), Sollazzo, Aldo (author), Dubor, Alexandre (author), Wang, T. (author)To address the need for a shift from a linear to a circular economy in the built environment, this paper develops a semi-automated assistive process for planning building material deconstruction for reuse using sensing and scanning, Scan-to-BIM, and computer vision techniques. These methods are applied and tested in a real-world case study in...journal article 2023

Labaar, Anna Lisa (author)For European Union member states, it is mandatory to assign Natura 2000 areas and regularly monitor them. Currently, vegetation mapping is done mainly manually, which is a time-consuming and expensive practise. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones), manoeuvrable vehicles with which high-resolution measurements can be done, could increase...master thesis 2022

Frantzen, Paco (author)Global climate change affects mountain regions such as the European Alps. Consequently, glacier extents decrease, and proglacial areas, the areas that recently lost their ice cover, increase in size. These proglacial areas are subject to a high frequency and magnitude of geomorphological activity and act as a sediment source for downstream...master thesis 2022

Stolk, Toon Stolk (author)There is no denying that the ever-increasing demand in space endeavours calls for more sustainable exploitation of the space environment. Approaches to mitigate space debris, such as ADR, are frequently suggested. Most of these proposals suggest a single sensor approach to provide accurate and continuous shape and pose estimation of the target....master thesis 2022

Dijkstra, Twan (author)Estimating wave runup is of crucial importance during a coastal risk assessment. Currently, runup levels are usually calculated using empirical formula derived from experiments conducted at beaches all over the world, and during different beach states. During this research, conditions are analyzed where runup reaches the dune toe and above. The...master thesis 2022

Marathe, Shreedatta (author)Changes in social, cultural, and economic paradigms have resulted in a collective shift from rural to urban areas over the last few decades. Cities are expanding to accommodate the ever-increasing population influx in urban areas. New buildings, roads, airports, and harbors are only a small part of urban development. It also includes the use of...master thesis 2022

Emeis, Ruben (author)As part of the Dutch sustainable landfill project iDS, two compartments of the Dutch landfill Wieringermeer have been treated by in-situ aeration since 2017. The chosen method of aeration is over-extraction, where suction pressure is created causing ambient air to intrude into the landfill. Aeration induces enhanced settlement due to the...master thesis 2022

Son, Dongjin (author)In this work, a SPAD-based LiDAR system is studied. In particular, the system employs a direct time-of-flight (dToF) method to reconstruct a target-reflected pulses using histogram, from which the distance to the target is estimated. More particularly, a time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) method has been used to record the flight...master thesis 2022

Chen, Mingzhe (author)Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is rapidly emerging as a key technology for depth sensing applications. LIDAR acts as an auxiliary ranging technique, such as radar, thermal image ranging, image recognition, and time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. As a special type of direct time-of-flight (D-TOF) system, this work presents the system design and the...master thesis 2022

van Oorschot, Marijn (author)Spacecraft navigation and control is difficult in deep space operations. Especially around asteroids, the irregular gravity field increases the difficulty of estimating the spacecraft trajectory. Autonomous navigation can increase the safety and accuracy for orbit proximity operations. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for continuous...master thesis 2022
