Di Cicco, F. (author), van Zuijlen, M.J.P. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Dutch 17th century painters were masters in depicting materials and their properties in a convincing way. Here, we studied the perception of the material signatures and key image features of different depicted fabrics, like satin and velvet. We also tested whether the perception of fabrics depicted in paintings related to local or global cues,...journal article 2021

Wu, H. (author), Qian, QK (author), Straub, A. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Prefabrication has the potential to improve the efficiency and sustainability of housing production. However, there are various challenges in the realization of prefabricated housing (PH) from the stakeholder's perspective. Transaction costs (TCs) theory provides a particular angle that explains the invisible costs within transactions. This...journal article 2021

Hagenaars, J.J. (author), Paredes-Vallés, Federico (author), Bohté, Sander M. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Flying insects are capable of vision-based navigation in cluttered environments, reliably avoiding obstacles through fast and agile maneuvers, while being very efficient in the processing of visual stimuli. Meanwhile, autonomous micro air vehicles still lag far behind their biological counterparts, displaying inferior performance at a much...journal article 2020

de Wit, S.I. (author), Bobbink, I. (author)Landscape architectonic compositions that draw on the underlying landscape structure can function as a carrier for changing programmes, cultures, processes, etc. Precisely such an explicitly spatial design is required to foster the inclusive city, one that is not only socially just but also sensitive to the environment while allowing for and...journal article 2020

Leandro Cruz, M. (author), van den Bogaard, M.E.D. (author), Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author), Groen, W.A. (author)Contribution: This study reports on a reliable and valid instrument that measures engineering students' perceptions of their competency levels. A better understanding of students' needs in engineering curricula will support the development of engineering students' transversal competencies. Background: Prior research has investigated how...journal article 2020

(author), Mulder, Max (author)Objective: We tested whether a procedure in a hexapod simulator can cause incorrect assumptions of the bank angle (i.e., the “leans”) in airline pilots as well as incorrect interpretations of the attitude indicator (AI). Background: The effect of the leans on interpretation errors has previously been demonstrated in nonpilots. In-flight,...journal article 2020

Kaleefathullah, Anees Ahamed (author), Merat, Natasha (author), Lee, Yee Mun (author), Eisma, Y.B. (author), Madigan, Ruth (author), Garcia, Jorge (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Objective: To investigate pedestrians’ misuse of an automated vehicle (AV) equipped with an external human–machine interface (eHMI). Misuse occurs when a pedestrian enters the road because of uncritically following the eHMI’s message. Background: Human factors research indicates that automation misuse is a concern. However, there is no...journal article 2020

Kovacsova, N. (author), Grottoli, M. (author), Celiberti, Francesco (author), Lemmens, Yves (author), Happee, R. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Powered two-wheeler riders are frequently involved in crashes at intersections because an approaching car driver fails to give right of way. This simulator study aimed to investigate how riders perform an emergency braking maneuver in response to an oncoming car and, second, whether longitudinal motion cues provided by a motion platform...journal article 2020

van Zuijlen, M.J.P. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author)Painters are masters of depiction and have learned to evoke a clear perception of materials and material attributes in a natural, three-dimensional setting, with complex lighting conditions. Furthermore, painters are not constrained by reality, meaning that they could paint materials without exactly following the laws of nature, while still...journal article 2020

Di Cicco, F. (author), Wiersma, Lisa (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Painters mastered replicating the regularities of the visual patterns that we use to infer different materials and their properties, via meticulous observation of the way light reveals the world's textures. The convincing depiction of bunches of grapes is particularly interesting. A convincing portrayal of grapes requires a balanced...journal article 2020

Jia, L. (author), Qian, QK (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The implementation of energy retrofit of residential buildings faces many risks around the world, especially in China, leading to low retrofit progress. Stakeholders’ proactive risk management is the key to the smooth implementation of retrofit projects but is normally affected by risk perception. Perceived risks instead of real risks are the...journal article 2020

Zhang, F. (author), de Ridder, H. (author), Barla, Pascal (author), Pont, S.C. (author)We previously presented a systematic optics-based canonical approach to test material-lighting interactions in their full natural ecology, combining canonical material and lighting modes. Analyzing the power of the spherical harmonics components of the lighting allowed us to predict the lighting effects on material perception for generic...journal article 2020

Having experience in a particular traffic environment can be expected to affect perceived risk. More specifically, drivers may readily recognize traffic hazards when driving in their own world region, resulting in high perceived...journal article 2020

Hou, H. (author), Lai, Joseph H.K. (author), Edwards, David (author)Student housing significantly influences the quality and competitiveness of the university education environment. Whereas the traditional post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) of buildings have typically focussed on investigating users' satisfaction, an earlier study developed the gap theory based post-occupancy evaluation (GTbPOE) method, by...journal article 2020

Bernard, Corentin (author), Ystad, Sølvi (author), Monnoyer, Jocelyn (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)Modulation of the frictional force of a fingertip sliding over a surface-haptic device can produce compelling sensations of texture and relief. The virtual sensation is particularly apparent and feel as fixed in space if the stimulus is rigorously correlated with the displacement of the finger. While frictional textures tactually resemble...journal article 2020

Eijkelenboom, A.M. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Comfort and health of outpatient staff is important due to the growing demand of healthcare and its crucial influence on society. Previous studies have mostly focused on the perception of comfort and indicated a large prevalence of building-related symptoms and dissatisfaction with comfort of staff in hospital buildings. Unfortunately,...journal article 2020

Li, S. (author), de Wagter, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Autonomous robots heavily rely on well-tuned state estimation filters for successful control. This letter presents a novel automatic tuning strategy for learning filter parameters by minimizing the innovation, i.e., the discrepancy between expected and received signals from all sensors. The optimization process only requires the inputs and...journal article 2019

Jansen, S.J.T. (author)In the Netherlands, the extraction of natural gas from the ground has led to soil subsidence and the occurrence of earthquakes. These earthquakes cause physical damage to buildings and give rise to psychological distress. Research on the impact of natural hazards, such as earthquakes, has shown that there is a complicated relationship between...journal article 2019

Di Cicco, F. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)To understand the key image features that we use to infer the glossiness of materials, we analyzed the pictorial shortcuts used by 17th century painters to imitate the optical phenomenon of specular reflections when depicting grapes. Gloss perception of painted grapes was determined via a rating experiment. We computed the contrast, blurriness,...journal article 2019
