Xia, Z. (author), Booij, O. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author)We propose a novel end-to-end method for cross-view pose estimation. Given a ground-level query image and an aerial image that covers the query's local neighborhood, the 3 Degrees-of-Freedom camera pose of the query is estimated by matching its image descriptor to descriptors of local regions within the aerial image. The...journal article 2024

Schmidt, Malena (author)Facility location problems are an important set of problems within the field of optimisation. These problems consider which facilities to open out of a set of possible facilities and how to assign users to the open facilities. Most of the facility location problems studied have a linear objective. In this thesis, we consider a facility location...master thesis 2023

van Heerde, Roald (author)In today’s world, accurate location sensing is impossible to think away. One of the most prominent and most used techniques for determining location is GPS. In the outside world, GPS is capable of pinpointing a location with only a few meters error. But inside buildings, GPS often fails to deliver the same accuracy. In this paper, a relatively...bachelor thesis 2023

Holland, Gijs (author)This thesis focuses on the going-on-location (GoL) operation of jack-up vessels in the offshore wind energy industry. The GoL process involves the transition of a jack-up vessel from a free-floating state to a state where it’s elevated above the waterline and pinned to the seabed. The workability of these vessels is significantly affected by the...master thesis 2023
