Albeda, J. (author)Affect-adaptive systems are dependent on their ability to automatically recognize a user’s affective state. This study aims to contribute to the creation of an affect-adaptive system that can recognize negative moods of elderly in care homes from a video feed, and improve it by adapting the lighting in the room. An affective database of videos...master thesis 2016

Buurmans, Kristijn (author)Railways are facing the challenge to simultaneously increase the capacity and the operational performance of their network. Automatic train operation (ATO) can be one of the technologies to increase the capacity of the railway network. The specifications for ATO over the European Train Control System (ETCS) automatic train protection system have...master thesis 2019

Garcia Manso, A. (author)In the oil and gas industry a crucial step for detecting and developing natural resources is to drill wells and measure miscellaneous properties along the well depth. These measurements are used to understand the rock and hydrocarbon properties and support oil/gas field development. The measurements are done at multiple times and using different...master thesis 2020

Westerhuis, Gijsbert (author)The number of operational rail corridors equipped with ERTMS is increasing throughout Europe. The implementation of this critical safety system is planned to take several decades. However, ERTMS is a complex system that evolves continuously increasing the risk of using outdated parts and components. Therefore, adaptability is required for an...master thesis 2020

Schupp, Eleen (author)When a person suffers from severe to profound hearing loss, a cochlear implant (CI) can aid in restoring auditory perception and speech comprehension. To obtain good speech comprehension, fitting of a CI to the user’s specific characteristics is crucial. Fitting can be a time-consuming process which requires the cooperation of a CI user and is...master thesis 2023

Van Winden, K.B.A. (author)There are many applications that use maps, and more detailed the maps are, more applications can benefit from the map. Many maps are still manually created and also the underlying attributes are informed in a manual process. This thesis presents a method to automatically derive and update attribute road data by mining and analyzing movement...master thesis 2014

Krishnakumari, P.K. (author)Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which is hard to diagnose objectively and may vary based on the surgeon. This disease is usually diagnosed by measuring several characteristic features of Hip X-rays mainly the joint distance between the femoral head and acetabular cup. Hip joint distance reduction is a clear symptom of...master thesis 2015

Gale Dewo, Gale (author)An upper limb prosthesis, i.e. a hand prosthesis, is a device to replace the function of an upper limb on upper limb amputees. In developing countries, amputees’ access to the device is scarce to unavailable. In addition to the absence of experts in those areas, currently there are no automatic measurement methods for upper limb amputees...master thesis 2018

Arroyo Ohori, G.A.K. (author)Planar partitions (subdivisions of the plane into polygonal areas) constitute one of the most important data representations in GIS. They are used to model concepts as varied as land use, administrative units, natural features and cadastral parcels, among many others. However, since polygons are often stored separately, different errors and...master thesis 2010

Zhang, Yixuan (author)One of the most important problems that needs tackling for wide deployment of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is the bias in ASR, i.e., ASRs tend to generate more accurate predictions for certain speaker groups while making more errors on speech from others. In this thesis, we aim to reduce bias against non-native speakers of Dutch compared...master thesis 2022

Driel, K.F. (author)This thesis describes how an automatic lip reader was realized. Visual speech recognition is a precondition for more robust speech recognition in general. The development of the software comprised the following steps: gathering of training data, extracting meaningful features from the obtained video material, training the speech recognizer and...master thesis 2009

Krebs, T.J.P. (author)How can you define automatic maps on the Gaussian integers? The two key components of an automatic map are an automaton, and a numeration system that represents every Gaussian integer at least once. We start by giving a brief introduction to automata and language theory, and go on to establish the existence of a numeration system for the...master thesis 2013

Prusti, Maarit (author)The building permit process in the Netherlands is mostly digitalized, however, there are still some issues. A downsize of information, the manual checking from the municipality, and the duration of the process are some of these issues. To overcome these issues information between 3D building design models, so-called Building Information Modeling...master thesis 2022

Schellingerhout, J. (author)Decision Support Systems (DSSs) that are used nowadays by water managers often predict states that do not correspond with the observed states. This is caused by changing parameters in the real systems, while the parameters used in the current DSSs are kept at a fixed level or follow a temporal pattern that does not always represents reality....master thesis 2014

Oppedijk, P.L. (author)In sports, the use of motion-capture techniques increases, leading to a fast increase in valuable motion data. Automatic recognition and classification of the captured motions, provides an orderly structuring of the motion data. By this the users can easily retrieve specific motion data. In this thesis, we consider the automatic classification...master thesis 2013
