Large language models (LMs) are increasingly used in critical tasks, making it important that these models can be trusted. The confidence an LM assigns to its prediction is often used to indicate how much trust can be placed in that prediction. However, a high confidence can be incorrectly trusted if it turns out to be incorrect, also known as a...

The emergence of tactile technologies has paved the way for addressing various challenges. Tactile sensing is especially vital for the blind and visually impaired. This study investigates how tactile feedback can enhance mobility and independence among individuals in this community. In today’s touchscreen-dominated world, accessibility remains a...

The present Master thesis explores the implementation of a glare-based control strategy for Venetian blinds in buildings with totally transparent facades. The case study concerns the Co-Creation Center, a building that hosts three different types of events: presentations, meetings and workshops. The diverse occupancy patterns, coupled with the...

In the development of any new technology, it is essential to have methods to assess the quality of a system, to compare different systems to one another, and to compare different versions of the same system, to see if changes to the system can actually be classified as improvements. For quantum networks, this is no different. To further develop...

Imagine going to a bar to meet your friends. When you arrive you try to spot them in a room filled with people, but your view is blurred which disables you from recognizing your friends. How would this make you feel? People that are blind or have low vision (PBLV) are all around us and can be found in any context of life. Just like sighted...

Blind Source Separation (BSS), the separation of latent source components from observed mixtures, is relevant to many fields of expertise such as neuro-imaging, economics and machine learning. Reliable estimates of the sources can be obtained through diagonalization of the cumulant tensor, i.e., a fourth-order symmetric multi-linear array...

Blind and visually impaired people currently have inconveniences locating themselves in the indoor environment. No standardized system exists for them yet. After an inventory of the requirements of blind people, different representations do qualify for providing specific information blind people need. The main research question is: "How can...

Visual impairment is a global problem. In India, there are about 40 million visually impaired people, accounting for 20% of the world's blind population. However, the infrastructure and services to assist the blind are far from sufficient.there is a more important question before it, that is the blind people are not given enough attention in...

The most common serious heart rhythm disease is atrial fibrillation. It is not fatal on its own but does increase the risk of heart failures and strokes. There is little understanding about the mechanisms behind the disease, so more insight is desired. Using an array of electrodes, measurements are being performed of the electrical atrial...

Abstract— Visual occlusion can cause object detection and classification systems to fail due to swift movement or a soiled, moist or dusty environment. Hence, this asks for a ’blind’ collision detection and classification method. This paper presents a novel blind collision detection and classification scheme for a<br/>heavyweight, low-speed,...

Functional ultrasound (fUS) is a neuroimaging modality that offers high spatial and temporal resolution while also providing portability. In this thesis, neuroimaging data acquired with fUS at Center for Ultrasound and Brain imaging at Erasmus MC (CUBE) is processed. Due to the fact that fUS data is inherently multidimensional, we propose using...

There are approximately 285 million people worldwide living with a visual impairment and the rate of acquired blindness is expected to continue increasing. Assistive technology for them is progressively being developed in order to enable independent living. For the blind and visually impaired, the tactile sense is the primary source of...

When objects are imaged, often aberrations slip into the captured images. Many techniques exist to remove part of those aberrations using hardware, software or a combination of those. This research will focus on Phase Diversity for Blind Multi-Frame Deconvolution. In Blind Multi-Frame Deconvolution both the object and the aberrations are...

All museum visitors should be able to go to any museum they like and observe the artworks they prefer. For
visually impaired people this is often not the case, even though museums have a social responsibility to make 
their collections accessible for everyone. Especially since the United Nations agreed on the rights of persons with disabilities...

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is a kind of wide-field super resolution imaging technique which achieves the resolution improvement by exploiting the interference patterns to obtain the information out of the observable region in Fourier space. The resolution improvement in SIM is done by analyzing the obtained image and restored the...

Visual perception is a pillar of human life. Visual impairment, therefore, has a severe impact on the quality of life. The Bioelectronic Interface to Sensory Cortex (BISC) project is aimed at building a system capable of both recording and stimulating neurons in order to remedy visual impairment. The proposed BISC system consists of three...

Correction techniques, such as tangential iterative projections (TIP), were developed to reconstruct the image for the whole field of view. However, due to the three dimensional nature of biological tissues, induced aberrations are different throughout the field of view. This Master of Science thesis shows the development of four algorithms....

In recent years, personalized recommender systems have been facing criticism in research due to their ability to trap users in their circle of choices, called "filter-bubble", thereby limiting their exposure to novel content. In solving the issue of filter-bubble, past research has focused on providing explanations to users about how a...

Hearing aids as a form of audio preprocessing is increasingly common in everyday life. The goal of this thesis is to implement a blind approach to the cocktail party problem and challenge some of the regular assumptions made in literature. We approach the problemas wideband FD-BSS. From this field of research, the common assumption of contineous...

Graphs are used to model irregular data structures and serve as models to represent/capture the interrelationships between data. The data in graphs are also referred as graph signals. Graph signal processing (GSP) can then be applied which basically extends classical signal processing to solve problems. Anomaly detection is an example of such a...
