van Zwieten, G.J. (author)A vital component in the management of seismic hazard is the study of past seismic events. Classically, this has been the domain of seismology, which studies the dynamic manifestations of the event to infer properties such as epicenter and moment magnitude. More recently it has become possible to perform similar analyses on the basis of the...doctoral thesis 2023

Bosma, Detmer (author), Krasnov, O.A. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)A dedicated signal and data processing chain is proposed for a fully polarimetric Doppler surveillance S-band radar to extract the polarimetric signatures of moving targets. To extract the target’s polarimetric features, detection, clustering, and tracking steps are realized for a multi-target environment in the range-Doppler domain. A dedicated...journal article 2023

Zhou, F. (author), Giannakis, Iraklis (author), Giannopoulos, Antonios (author), Holliger, Klaus (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In hydrocarbon drilling, mud filtrate penetrates permeable formations and alters the pore fluid characteristics in the immediate vicinity of the borehole. Typically, the prevailing in situ pore fluids are displaced by the invading mud filtrate, which leads to gradually changing distributions of the fluid and electrical properties....journal article 2023

Hunziker, J. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Irving, J. (author)Modeling ground penetrating radar (GPR) reflection data on glaciers with methods that require the discretization of the full subsurface domain is extremely computationally expensive because of the combination of a large domain size and the comparatively short wavelength of the signal. To address this issue, we build on and extend a previously...journal article 2023

Guarneri, H. (author), Verlaan, M. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Veenstra, J. (author), Zijl, F. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Keyzer, L.M. (author), Afrasteh, Y. (author), Klees, R. (author)Both empirical and assimilative global ocean tidal models are significantly more accurate in the deep ocean than in shelf and coastal waters. In this study, we answered whether this is due to the quality of the models used to reduce tide and surge or the general approach to treat tide and surge as two separate components of the water level...journal article 2023

Palffy, A. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), Gavrila, D. (author)Early and accurate detection of crossing pedestrians is crucial in automated driving in order to perform timely emergency manoeuvres. However, this is a difficult task in urban scenarios where pedestrians are often occluded (not visible) behind objects, e.g., other parked vehicles. We propose an occlusion aware fusion of stereo camera and...journal article 2023
