Localising objects with drones: A case study on the localisation of fisher boats in restricted areasGeers, Lisa (author)Due to safety or preservation reasons, certain objects or areas need to be inspected regularly. Currently, the inspection of objects is mostly done in-person, which is labour-intensive and not very effective. With the use of drones, areas and objects can be inspected from new angles at a much faster rate. To effectively monitor these objects...master thesis 2023

Alkhateeb, S. (author), Riccioli, F. (author), Morales, Felipe Leon (author), Pahlavan, Lotfollah (author)Offshore support structures and mooring systems are predominantly subject to corrosion and fatigue. These structures are typically covered with marine growth of various types. Conventional inspection methods for assessment of the structural integrity require access to the cleaned surface of these structures; however, the cleaning process is...journal article 2023

Dechamps, Louis (author), van Esch, Marieke (author), Hengelmolen, Maren (author), Kan, Leo (author), YANG, Yue (author)Blind and visually impaired people currently have inconveniences locating themselves in the indoor environment. No standardized system exists for them yet. After an inventory of the requirements of blind people, different representations do qualify for providing specific information blind people need. The main research question is: "How can...student report 2022

Dupon, Fréderic (author)The use of micro air vehicles (MAV) is becoming increasingly mainstream and with them their applications have become more demanding across the board. The application of MAV’s in large GNSS-denied environments often asks for a distributed and scalable localisation system with minimal reliance on static localisation hardware. In this research a...master thesis 2022

Yan, Hannah (author)Since China's open door policy and with its rapid urbanisation process, modern China has been known as the “testing ground” for foreign architects, including Dutch architecture firms. The architecture practices that firms did in China have enriched their company portfolio as well as increased their international reputation. For years, being a...master thesis 2022

Easwaramurthy, Vishanth (author)For autonomous navigation of mobile robots in an unknown environment, mapping the robot's environment, and localizing its relative position in the environment is of utmost importance. However, in a known and controlled environment, being able to localize its position at a given time instant is sufficient for the robot to navigate autonomously....master thesis 2022

van Beurden, Bas (author)Abstract—Ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging is a very suitable method for indoor localisation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Current solutions of UWB ranging however either focus on achieving a high accuracy or focus on scalability. In this research a positioning algorithm for UAVs is presented that combines high accuracy performance with a high...master thesis 2021

Koopman, Kevin (author), de Peinder, Jelle (author)The company invented a product that can monitor vulnerable people. It is important that they know exactly where their products are located. If a situation occurred where a vulnerable person needs immediate help, first responders can use the knowledge of the location to get to the patient as fast as possible. This thesis investigates if a modular...bachelor thesis 2021

Kuiper, Joris (author)Bicycles connected to the internet present an opportunity for integrated accident detection and geolocation. Such a system can reduce the time it takes for help to arrive by automatically alerting predefined contacts with the location of the accident. I developed a systematic method for the practical implementation of bicycle accident detection...master thesis 2021

den Hartog, Stan (author)There are multiple numerical methods for analysing the stability of slopes. Commonly used methods for assessing the slope stability are the slip surface method, strength reduction methods or methods based on load increments. What those methods have in common is that the stability of a slope is assessed by a factor of safety or critical stability...master thesis 2021

Weinmann, Martin (author), Wursthorn, Sven (author), Weinmann, M. (author), Hübner, Patrick (author)The Microsoft HoloLens is a head-worn mobile augmented reality device. It allows a real-time 3D mapping of its direct environment and a self-localisation within the acquired 3D data. Both aspects are essential for robustly augmenting the local environment around the user with virtual contents and for the robust interaction of the user with...journal article 2021

PALANDE, SHREYASH (author)Substantial efforts are being made to make robots more reliable and safe to work around humans. Robots often perform flawless demos in a controlled environment under the supervision of an operator but tend to fail in the real world when deployed for a long period of time due to faults and environmental disturbances. A robotic system is composed...master thesis 2020
