GUO, Zhuoran (author)Online searching for healthcare information has gradually become a widely used internet case. Suppose a patient suffers the symptom but is unsure of the action he needs to take, a self-diagnosis tool can help the patient identify the possible conditions and whether this patient needs to seek immediate medical help. However, the accuracy and...master thesis 2022

Dobson, Daniel (author)Street view imagery (SVI) is one of the largest (growing) resources in urban analytics. A global close-up of the urban environment, if you will, which is rich in (untapped) information such as floor count. Floor count is useful in many applications, from improving energy consumption calculations to creation of 3D city models without elevation...master thesis 2023

Van de Lisdonk, R.H.M. (author)New ideas to improve automatic speech recognition have been proposed that make use of context user information such as gender, age and dialect. To incorporate this information into a speech recognition system a new framework is being developed at the MMI department of the EWI faculty at the Delft University of Technology. This toolkit is called...master thesis 2009

Clar, Thibault (author)With the global increase in passenger traffic and growing popularity of long-haul routes over the Asia Pacific region and Atlantic Ocean, the possibility for hypersonic transport could become an attractive option to reduce flight time over long distance from 16-20 hours down to around 4-5 hours. In this thesis, a Multi-Disciplinary Optimisation...master thesis 2019

van den Broek, Geert (author)An Industrial Control System (ICS) is used to monitor and control industrial processes and critical infrastructure, and is therefore crucial to modern society. This makes them attractive targets for malicious cyber-attacks, which have become more advanced and abundant in recent history. To properly defend ICSs from these cyber-attacks,...master thesis 2022

Bronkhorst, Joris (author)The amount of photovoltaic (PV) systems in the world is growing rapidly. The designing process is however still old fashioned and mostly done by hand. Creating a method to automatically design these PV systems can help to stimulate this growing market even further. In this thesis a research is done<br/>into the development of an automatic PV...master thesis 2017

Tasoglou, A. (author)The world of systems and control guides more of our lives than most of us realize. Most of the products we rely on today are actually systems comprised of mechanical, electrical or electronic components. Engineering these complex systems is a challenge, as their ever growing complexity has made the analysis and the design of such systems an...master thesis 2013

Sablerolle, S.A. (author)Laser scanning is a new technique for three dimensional point measurements. Over the last decades the number of applications in which these measurements take place, has grown significantly. In every application the surveyors are looking for the same result, namely a three dimensional point cloud of the object of interest. The purpose of this...master thesis 2006

Chan, P.K.M. (author)One of the main challenges in Multi-disciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) is the interoperability of heterogeneous simulation tools. Some researches have reported that, due to these interoperability issues, only around 20% of the product development time is spent on analyses and creative design tasks. Clearly, there is a lot to gain, when it...master thesis 2013

Vergu, V.A. (author)In software engineering education manual assessment of students’ programs is a time consuming endeavour that does not scale to high numbers of pupils or to large amounts of practice material. Numerous automatic grading programs, aim- ing to alleviate this problem, have been developed since 1960. These, however, only support fixed programming...master thesis 2012

Lubberding, Jari (author)Air Traffic Control (ATC) is tasked with ensuring safe separation between aircraft in a given Controlled Traffic Region (CTR). To achieve this an Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) verbally gives clearances using over the air communication. These clearances are kept track of by the ATCo using so-called ‘flight-strips’, which in modern systems are...master thesis 2023

Rammos, P. (author)Ecological monitoring, i.e. the process of assessing the quality and health of natural habitats, is required to assess the impact of anthropogenic influence. This process is often inhibited by the expenses involved and a limited accessibility to the study site. The use of remotely sensed data then logically comes to mind as a potential solution....master thesis 2012

Lin, Chaufang (author)Whispering, characterized by its soft, breathy, and hushed qualities, serves as a distinct form of speech commonly employed for private communication and can also occur in cases of pathological speech. The acoustic characteristics of whispered speech differ substantially from normally phonated speech and the scarcity of adequate training data...master thesis 2023

de Hek, Maurits (author)Technological innovations in the Dutch railway sector, such as ERTMS and the 3kV power supply system make it possible to increase the efficiency, effectivity and speed of the railway system in the upcoming decades. The implementation of systems such as ERTMS and 3kV is a lengthy process. The new systems will therefore operate alongside the old...master thesis 2020

Grossmann, Martin (author)The amount of international shipped cargo grows steadily, and seas are exploited for seabed mining and energy production more than ever. As a result, there is an increase in traffic density and decrease in free navigational space, potentially causing a higher incidence of dangerous navigation situations that may lead to ship collisions. This...master thesis 2019

Li, Zirui (author)End-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems improved drastically in recent years and they work extremely well on many large datasets. However, research shows that these models failed to capture the variability in speech production and have biases against the variant caused by the regional accented speech. Moreover, ASR research on...master thesis 2023

Borren, Noor (author)Introduction: Trauma-induced rib fractures are a common injury, affecting millions of individuals globally each year. Although anteroposterior thoracic radiographs are part of the standard posttraumatic screening, the most sensitive modality, and therefore golden standard for diagnosing rib fractures, is computed tomography (CT). Still, between...master thesis 2023

Donkers, S. (author)CityGML is a standardized data format used to store the semantic information and geometries of buildings and other object classes of 3D city models. The Level of Detail of current state of the art city models (LoD2) is not sufficient for accurate environmental simulations like noise, the solar potential of windows and other types of analyses. An...master thesis 2013

Moors, J. (author)Small leaks in water supply networks often remain undiscovered, resulting in large amounts of lost water. Moreover, small leaks can grow larger over time and may result in pipe bursts, having negative consequences for the surroundings. An automatic leak localization method is required to decrease the search area and hence localize small leaks...master thesis 2016
