Bucher, Benedicte (author), Hein, C.M. (author), Raines, Dorit (author), Gouet Brunet, Valérie (author)This article addresses the integration of cultural perspectives in the smart city discourse and in the implementation of the UN Agenda 2030; it does so specifically with respect to land patterns and land use. We hope to increase the ability of relevant stakeholders, including scientific communities working in that field, to handle the complexity...journal article 2021

Nazeer, N. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)Abstract: Optical fibre sensors and in particular fibre Bragg gratings (FBG) have received a lot of interest for Structural Health Monitoring in different application fields, such as aerospace, pipeline and civil engineering. FBGs are conventionally used to monitor strain and sometimes temperature. In this paper, we propose a new method for...journal article 2021

Geldof, Freija (author), Jong, Lynn-Jade (author), Dashtbozorg, Behdad (author), Hendriks, B.H.W. (author), Sterenborg, Henricus J.C.M. (author), Ruers, Theo J.M. (author)Establishing adequate resection margins during colorectal cancer surgery is challenging. Currently, in up to 30% of the cases the tumor is not completely removed, which emphasizes the lack of a real-time tissue discrimination tool that can assess resection margins up to multiple millimeters in depth. Therefore, we propose to combine spectral...conference paper 2021

Larsen, R.B. (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Transport of containers on a-modal bookings enables transport suppliers to route the containers in accordance with the current state of the synchromodal transport network. At the same time, it enables the transport providers to route their vehicles in real time based on the current need for transportation. The interdependency of the routes of...journal article 2021

Zhang, P. (author), Li, S. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), Li, Z. (author)In this paper, we present a solution method based on finite element (FE) modeling to predict multimodal dispersive waves in a free rail. As well as the modal behaviors and wavenumber-frequency dispersion relations, the phase and group velocities of six types of propagative waves are also derived and discussed in detail in the frequency range...journal article 2021

Wang, X. (author), Tian, Tian (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)In the case of unwritten languages, acoustic models cannot be trained in the standard way, i.e., using speech and textual transcriptions. Recently, several methods have been proposed to learn speech representations using images, i.e., using visual grounding. Existing studies have focused on scene images. Here, we investigate whether fine...conference paper 2021

Wang, X. (author), van der Hout, Justin (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Hasegawa-Johnson, Mark (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Image captioning technology has great potential in many scenarios. However, current text-based image captioning methods cannot be applied to approximately half of the world's languages due to these languages’ lack of a written form. To solve this problem, recently the image-to-speech task was proposed, which generates spoken descriptions of...journal article 2021

de Groot, Marcel (author)Urban planners and decision-makers face several challenges in keeping cities liveable. Getting a well-working urban freight system is one of these underexposed challenges, where there is still a lack of knowledge and awareness among them. Current freight policies are insufficient to tackle the increasing negative externalities due to lack of...master thesis 2020

Numan, Nels (author)Virtual reality (VR) creates an exceptional experience in which users can explore virtual environments. Wearing a head-mounted display (HMD), users are able to observe a virtual world that is rendered based on their physical movement and actions. A common solution for capturing the visual and geometric information needed for the construction of...master thesis 2020

Tian, Tian (author)Visually grounded speech representation learning has shown to be useful in the field of speech representation learning. Studies of learning visually grounded speech embedding adopted speech-image cross-modal retrieval task to evaluate the models, since the cross-modal retrieval task allows to jointly learn both modalities and find their...master thesis 2020

Thirani, Kushal (author)This study proposes the creation of a multi-modal feedback system to guide humans towards ergonomic poses. A number of studies have tried to come up with methods where subjects are alerted upon crossing biomechanical or ergonomic thresholds while doing a task but not many have tried to successfully and efficiently guide users to ergonomic...master thesis 2020

Schuiling, J.H.N. (author)In this research, the link between air travel and the first/last mile trip with public transportation will be researched, as in practice, ticket platforms (such as Booking.com or Expedia) do not yet provide this integrated air- and public transport service. Eventually, the idea would be to create an integration platform that serves as a mediator...master thesis 2020

Guo, Y. (author)Electron tomography is a powerful tool in materials science to characterize nanostructures in three dimensions (3D). In scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), the sample under study is exposed to a focused electron beam and tilted to obtain twodimensional (2D) projections at different angles; many imaging modes are available such as...doctoral thesis 2020

Linssen, Menno (author)A better understanding of time-varying multimodal human operator control behaviour is required for the development of advanced adaptive control support systems for cases when vehicle dynamics suddenly change, e.g., a stability augmentation system failure. For this research, an approach based on recursive autoregressive exogenous (ARX) models is...master thesis 2020

(author), Oertel, Catharine (author)There has been gathering momentum over the last 10 years in the study of group behavior in multimodal multiparty interactions. While many works in the computer science community focus on the analysis of individual or dyadic interactions, we believe that the study of groups adds an additional layer of complexity with respect to how humans...conference paper 2020

Wang, X. (author), Qiao, T. (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)An estimated half of the world’s languages do not have a written form, making it impossible for these languages to benefit from any existing text-based technologies. In this paper, a speech-to-image generation (S2IG) framework is proposed which translates speech descriptions to photo-realistic images without using any text information, thus...conference paper 2020
