Density Field Reconstruction of an Overexpanded Supersonic Jet using Tomographic Background-Oriented Schlieren

A Tomographic Background-Oriented Schlieren (TBOS) technique is developed to aid in the visualization of compressible flows. An experimental setup was devised around a sub-scale rocket nozzle, in which four cameras were set up in a circular configuration with 30° angular spacing in azimuth. Measurements were taken of the overexpanded supersonic...

How did M. C. Escher compose impossible realities by means of realistic components?: Following the process behind the creation of mindscapes

Tracing M. C. Escher’s creations chronologically, one can see how the observational sketches of Italian cities and landscapes that he made in his youth became the basis and reference for most of the works he created later in life. Escher used those images he memorised and sketched out to create his so-called mindscapes, which are the dreamlike...

SCIPoC: Semantic Classification of Indoor Point Cloud: A study into the possibilities of classifying indoor point cloud using a Deep Learning approach

With the constantly evolving range of applications for technology the quality and amount of data constantly increases as well. In this growing data environment, there is a constant search to provide more value to all data that is available for as little effort as possible. Our research tries to add such additional value by diving into the...

Mengeste

This graphic novel is the result of a micro-ethnographic research to Kechene, a district of Addis Ababa. Using graphic techniques borrowed from the architecture discipline, this graphic novel aims at bringing together representations of everyday life in the Kechene sefer (neighbourhood), that show how human life shapes its environment and vice...

A Sensor Data Fusion Algorithm for Human Motion Estimation

In the elderly population, falls are one of the major causes of injuries. Fall detection algorithms for wearable devices in the literature were found to focus on differentiating Activities of Daily Living (ADL) from falls, rather than on early fall detection and prevention before impact. This thesis work was aimed at providing accurate estimates...
