Viewpoint dependent model for multi-view object recognition

The life expectancy of humans increases due to better medical care, food quality and personal hygiene. The demand for domestic robots performing (simple) household chores will increase as consequence to this trend. An important task of these robots is recognizing objects within an environment. Object models are constructed using multiple views...

On the possibility of simulating pile set-up in sand by means of centrifuge model testing

An increase over time in bearing capacity of displacement piles is often found in the field. This phenomenon is called pile set-up. The increase is predominantly caused by an increase in shaft resistance and is observed even until 1000 days after installation. In the Dutch situation, a proposed tightening of the design standard for pile...

Kustprofiel en Zandevenwicht onder invloed van loodrecht invallende golven in een model

Bestudeeed wordhthet kustporfiel van een zandige kust, zoals het in een model ontstaat t.g.v. loodrecht invallende golven. Gofhoogte en periode zullen constant in de tijd worden gehouden. Door beperkte afmetingen van het model in kustlangsrichiting, zullen de werkingen in hoofdzaak tweedimensionaal blijven.
