Alternative Representations and Techniques for Accelerated Realistic Image Synthesis: Improved Sampling, Reconstruction and Modelling Methods

Realism has always been a major goal in visual content creation - from oil painting to motion pictures, from graphic arts to scientific data visualization. Computer graphics creates a virtual reality with digital representations. Trading between accuracy and speed, realistic rendering either creates photorealistic renders that follow strict...

Realtime Data-driven Learning and Model Predictive Control using Gaussian Processes for Dynamical Systems

Nowadays, machine learning (ML) methods rapidly evolve for their use in model-based control applications. Model-based control requires an accurate model description of the dynamical system to reassure the performance of the controller. Conventionally, this model description is retrieved from first-principles modelling which can be problematic if...

Digital Tunnel Twin: Enriching the Maintenance and Operation of Dutch Tunnels

The objective of this research is to explore the possibilities in the use of digital twins towards the maintenance and operation of tunnels. This is explored by looking at the end users of the technology, to profile their needs and requirements and consider a digital twin design that focuses on this. This research is the start of a human centred...

Creating an online auctioning clock

For this project, JEM-id tasked us with creating a proof of concept of a new online auction in the form of a web application for Royal FloraHolland. JEM-id is a software company operating in the agricultural domain.<br/>The pre-existing digital auction is not available as a web application and has generated technical debt over the past twenty...

A Real-time Low Latency Signal Concentrator for Ship Tracking using AIS

Global AIS coverage is not possible with terrestrial AIS as base stations are required to be build on sea, which is impractical. With the use of LEO satellites, the field of view of a single receiver is increased and is capable of communicating with many AIS cells simultaneously. As many vessels are transmitting data to the same receiver,...

Improvements to the Co-simulation Interface for Geographically Distributed Real-time Simulation

As future power systems become increasingly complex and interconnected to other energy carriers, a single research infrastructure can rarely provide the required test-beds to study a complete energy system, especially if different types of real power hardware are expected to be in-the-loop. Therefore, virtual interconnection of laboratories for...

Efficient real-time camera based estimation of heart rate and its variability

Remote photo-plethysmography (rPPG) uses a remotely placed camera to estimating a person's heart rate (HR). Similar to how heart rate can provide useful information about a person's vital signs, insights about the underlying physio/psychological conditions can be obtained from heart rate variability (HRV). HRV is a measure of the fine...

Creating an automation tool for customer journey experts at ING

ING wants to offer their customers the best experience possible. To achieve this goal, ING’s Customer Journey Experts (CJEs) constantly map and analyze the way customers use ING services in a Customer Journey Map. These maps however, are hard to share and collaborate on. ING needs an online tool in which they can, together with multiple people,...

Design of a Real-Time Micro-Winch Controller for Kite-Power Applications

Design of a real time steering and depowering controller for kite power applications. The controller includes kite tapes tension estimation, tension limitation, and current limitation.

Progress with situation assessment and risk prediction in advanced driver assistance systems: A survey

In the field of automotive safety, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are receiving growing attention. Effective ADAS requires awareness of the actual driving situation, a reliable assessment of the risks, and making rapid decisions on assisting actions. This paper reviews the current progress in these complementing subfields. The goal is...
