Wei, Wei (author)Active learning has been proposed as a solution to mitigate the expensive and time-consuming process of annotating large-scale autonomous driving datasets. The process typically involves a model initialization phase, followed by multiple iterations aiming at selecting the most informative data based on the initial model. However, we find two...master thesis 2023

Joy, Denzil (author)Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels.<br/>CVDs are the leading cause of death worldwide. To diagnose and treat CVDs, clinicians and cardiologists use multiple noninvasive imaging techniques. These scans are used to segment certain structures of the heart. Deep learning-based cardiac segmentation...master thesis 2023

Liu, Lian (author)The livestock sector accounts for 14-15% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the current meat consumption patterns are associated with multiple health risks and are unsustainable in the long term. Therefore, the shift to a more plant-based diet and reduced animal-source intake is desired from a societal perspective. One attempt...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Lotte (author)Icebergs drifting through the Southern Ocean release fresh water and nutrients. This has local impacts on surrounding ecosystems and sea ice formation. On a global scale, salinity patterns and ocean circulation are affected. In addition, <br/> tudying icebergs as a proxy for ice shelves in a warming climate can help predict future climate...master thesis 2023

Bruggink, Daan (author)Traversability estimation is a key component in autonomous driving tasks. In many applications, semantic segmentation is used to pixel-wise classify a visual scene. The pixel-wise segmented map is used to estimate the traversability of different environments. The semantic segmentation accuracy can drop if environmental conditions change. The...master thesis 2023

Bonouvrié, Lars (author)The Netherlands is dealing with a severe housing crisis, in which there is a major shortage of affordable housing. The government has introduced many new regulations, trying to curb this affordability problem. Many of these measures seem to center around tempering market parties on the Dutch housing market. However, quite contradictory is that...master thesis 2023

Pena Pereira, Simon (author)Transforming the global energy sector from fossil-fuel based to renewable energy sources is key to limiting global warming and efficiently achieving climate neutrality. The decentralized nature of the renewable energy system allows private households to install photovoltaic (PV) systems on their rooftops. In this context, planning an efficient...master thesis 2023

Yang, Z. (author), Ye, Qin (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Nan, L. (author)Continuous implicit representations can flexibly describe complex 3D geometry and offer excellent potential for 3D point cloud analysis. However, it remains challenging for existing point-based deep learning architectures to leverage the implicit representations due to the discrepancy in data structures between implicit fields and point...journal article 2023

Gao, W. (author), Nan, L. (author), Boom, Bas (author), Ledoux, H. (author)We introduce a novel deep learning-based framework to interpret 3D urban scenes represented as textured meshes. Based on the observation that object boundaries typically align with the boundaries of planar regions, our framework achieves semantic segmentation in two steps: planarity-sensible over-segmentation followed by semantic...journal article 2023

Mazzoni, Filippo (author), Alvisi, Stefano (author), Franchini, Marco (author), Blokker, E.J.M. (author)In the water industry, an accurate estimation of end-use water consumption is helpful for the implementation of efficient water systems and water-saving technologies. This study aimed to explore the characteristics of water consumption at nine households north of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), subjected to water consumption monitoring at high...journal article 2023

(author), Smits, M. (author), Klein, Stefan (author)BACKGROUND: Accurate characterization of glioma is crucial for clinical decision making. A delineation of the tumor is also desirable in the initial decision stages but is time-consuming. Previously, deep learning methods have been developed that can either non-invasively predict the genetic or histological features of glioma, or that can...journal article 2023

Sluijter, Judith (author)Wrong-level spine surgery (WLS) is a medical error with severe consequences for the patient and medical staff. The current golden standard to prevent WLS during spinal surgery is fluoroscopy images acquired by a C-arm. However, this approach uses ionising radiation and interrupts the standard surgical workflow. To overcome these disadvantages,...master thesis 2022

van Driel, Pieter (author)This thesis research proposes a new method for a controlling an agricultural robot using computer vision. The robot has to follow and simultaneously reel in a hose, which lies on a grass field. The hose that has to be followed, is attached to the robot itself. The trajectory of the hose is captured by a monocular camera and is extracted from the...master thesis 2022

HUANG, Luxin (author)Nowadays, the amount of e-waste generated globally is growing at a faster speed, due to consumers' repetitive consumption and product replacement stimulated by electronics manufacturers. This leads to severe threats to our environment. However, a large amount of e-waste is not waste at all. They could be well refurbished and then reused by the...master thesis 2022

Weulen Kranenberg, Dirk (author)The Dutch housing market has a shortage and especially a shortage in its middle-segment between, low-income, social housing, and higher-income, homeownership. Because of this, municipalities have become more active in creating middle-segment housing, but most Dutch municipalities have few land positions which has urged them to create middle...master thesis 2022

Tan, Yicong (author)Literature on medical imaging segmentation claims that self-attention-based Transformer blocks perform better than convolution in UNet-based architectures. This recently touted success of Transformers warrants an investigation into which of its components contribute to its performance. Moreover, previous work has a limitation of analysis only at...master thesis 2022
