Teeuwen, R.F.L. (author), Milias, V. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author)The study of urban greenspaces typically relies on three types of data: people’s subjective perceptions collected via questionnaires, vegetation indices derived from satellite imagery, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Land Use or Land Cover maps, such as OpenStreetMap (OSM). Data on people’s perceptions are...journal article 2024

Wang, Bin (author), Zio, Enrico (author), Chen, X. (author), Zhu, Hanhua (author), Guo, Yunhua (author), Fan, Shidong (author)In the dredging industry, the automation and accuracy of the Dredging Perception System (DPS) are vital for operational efficiency and environmental safety. Current DPS implementations face challenges with sensor fault tolerance, leading to system unreliability and increased false alarm rates that can disrupt dredging operations. We propose a...journal article 2024

Chen, Y. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), van Dorst, M.J. (author)Numerous studies show the benefits of wilderness to humans and the environment. Therefore, preserving and developing wilderness areas within urban settings are crucial to combat and mitigate challenges like biodiversity decline resulting from urbanization. According to previous studies, human-wilderness interactions can be contradictory, e.g.,...journal article 2024

Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), van Middelkoop, C. (author)We present a framework that connects ideas from the visual arts and visual perception. It adapts two existing frameworks for the analysis of form and content so that it can be used in an educational context for teaching perception through visual arts. The basis is the formal analysis of texture, colour, light, space, and material. This...journal article 2024

Afzal, Naqash (author), du Bois de Dunilac, Sophie (author), Loutit, Alastair J. (author), Shea, Helen O. (author), Ulloa, Pablo Martinez (author), Khamis, Heba (author), Vickery, Richard M. (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author), Redmond, Stephen J. (author), Birznieks, Ingvars (author)Abstract: When manipulating objects, humans begin adjusting their grip force to friction within 100 ms of contact. During motor adaptation, subjects become aware of the slipperiness of touched surfaces. Previously, we have demonstrated that humans cannot perceive frictional differences when surfaces are brought in contact with an immobilised...journal article 2024

Brush, Candida (author), Wraae, Birgitte (author), Nikou, S. (author)Purpose: Despite the considerable increase in research on entrepreneurship education, few studies examine the role of entrepreneurship educators. Similarly, most frameworks from entrepreneurship education recognize the educator’s importance in facilitating instruction and assessment, but the factors influencing the educator role are not well...journal article 2024

Li, Y. (author), Tao, Y. (author), Qian, QK (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Resident participation is essential for neighborhood rehabilitation. It requires the active involvement of residents and efficient management by organizers. To improve the effectiveness of resident participation, it is necessary to understand the critical success factors (CSFs) underlying it. However, previous research has examined the critical...journal article 2024

Untereiner, Erin (author), Toboso Chavero, S.T.C.H. (author), Fariñas, Ana Vázquez (author), Madrid-Lopez, Cristina (author), Villalba, Gara (author), Durany, Xavier Gabarrell (author)With the latest IPCC report, dramatic global climate action must be taken immediately to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, or face more frequent and extreme weather events with catastrophic implications. Cities must invest in climate resilience development; however, government policies are only effective if they are supported by the society in...journal article 2024

Kotian, V. (author), Irmak, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)Users of automated vehicles will engage in other activities and take their eyes off the road, making them prone to motion sickness. To resolve this, the current paper validates models predicting sickness in response to motion and visual conditions. We validate published models of vestibular and visual sensory integration that have been used...journal article 2024

Keshvari, Shaiyan (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author)Humans can rapidly identify materials, such as wood or leather, even within a complex visual scene. Given a single image, one can easily identify the underlying "stuff," even though a given material can have highly variable appearance; fabric comes in unlimited variations of shape, pattern, color, and smoothness, yet we have little trouble...journal article 2024

Naghibi, M. (author), Farrokhi, Ashkan (author), Faizi, Mohsen (author)In metropolitan areas worldwide, abandoned properties are prevalent, prompting a need for small urban green spaces (SUGS) to meet the growing demand. Understanding residents’ preferences and perceptions of transformed spaces is vital for effective urban design. This study delves into residents’ preferences and perceptions regarding the...journal article 2024

Veldhuis, Robbin (author), Mulder, Max (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)Understanding human perception of haptic feedback is critical when designing and regulating these interfaces. In recent years, experiments have been conducted to determine the just-noticeable difference (JND) in mass-spring-damper dynamics, using a hydraulic admittance display in the form of a side-stick. These experiments have resulted in a...journal article 2024

Liu, C. (author), Xu, Y. (author), van Kampen, E. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)In this paper, we propose an obstacle avoidance solution for a 34-gram quadcopter equipped with a monocular camera. The perception of obstacles is tackled by a lightweight convolutional neural network predicting a dense depth map from a captured grey-scale image. The depth network performs self-supervised learning and thus requires no ground...journal article 2023
