Gheorghiu, Irina (author)Global Navigation Satellite System is a spatial data acquisition technique, mostly used in navigation and positioning. One of the main components of this technique is the satellite visibility, which refers to the connection between the satellite and the ground receiver. It is known that the GNSS positioning systems are not as performing in urban...master thesis 2024

Sterkman, Pam (author)Water management is an integral part of Dutch history, driven by the continuous need to reduce flood risk. Because a large area of the country is located below Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP), there is an ongoing challenge to safely discharge all the water to the sea. Therefore, flood safety policy has become crucial to protect the Netherlands...master thesis 2024

van der Vliet, Willem (author)Digital twins (DTs) are a common way for city planners and citizens alike to visualize the impact of new policy decisions, simulate scenarios, and plan for disasters. The more detail these DTs have, the more useful they can be. Windows and doors, also known as building openings, are a critical detail missing in Amsterdam’s DT. While previous...master thesis 2023

Brandwijk, Marijn (author)The TU Delft has acquired a UAV LiDAR system and can be used to acquire an 3D point cloud of the terrain below the system. It is of interest how such a flight mission would be best performed and what the corresponding quality would be. Current free software provided limited data quality estimation and mission planning support for the DJI Matrice...master thesis 2023

Onen, Cagan (author)Occupancy grid maps are fundamental to autonomous driving algorithms, offering insights into obstacle distribution and free space within an environment. These maps are used for safe navigation and decision-making in self-driving applications, forming a crucial component of the automotive perception framework. An occupancy map is a discretized...master thesis 2023

Labaar, Anna Lisa (author)For European Union member states, it is mandatory to assign Natura 2000 areas and regularly monitor them. Currently, vegetation mapping is done mainly manually, which is a time-consuming and expensive practise. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones), manoeuvrable vehicles with which high-resolution measurements can be done, could increase...master thesis 2022

Emeis, Ruben (author)As part of the Dutch sustainable landfill project iDS, two compartments of the Dutch landfill Wieringermeer have been treated by in-situ aeration since 2017. The chosen method of aeration is over-extraction, where suction pressure is created causing ambient air to intrude into the landfill. Aeration induces enhanced settlement due to the...master thesis 2022

Dardavesis, Ioannis (author)Nowadays, the evolution of localisation and navigation technologies is vast, aiding towards facilitating users’ guidance in various environments. Outdoor positioning can be easily achieved, with the widely used Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), which comprise a universal standard for positioning and are included in every person’s...master thesis 2022

van der Horst, Noortje (author)A digital reconstruction of real-life trees could provide many benefits in fields such as botany, forestry management, biology, and urban planning. Plant growth modelling in particular would enable the analysis of plant structure and behaviour in a customizable, widely applicable and non-destructive manner. Although many data-driven plant...master thesis 2022

Smit, Mels (author)Over the years, the pace at which data is generated keeps on increasing. As a consequence, the data itself no longer holds the highest value, but rather the information and context the data captures are. This principle also holds in the 3D environment modelling scene, as accurately depicting an environment holds more value than the number of...master thesis 2022

Vogiatzis, Anastasios (author)Everything around us is rapidly changing. Whole new blocks of buildings are built, huge infrastructural projects are constructed and so on. Hence, there is a need of a reliable and up-to-date inventory of the area and the objects of interest for mapping and monitoring assets and their changes. An answer of this upcoming need is an automated...master thesis 2021

van der Sluis, Joram (author)This master thesis presents an experimental study on 3D person localization (i.e., pedestrians, cyclists)in traffic scenes, using monocular vision and Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data. The performance of two top-ranking methods is analyzed on the 3D object detection KITTI dataset. In this evaluation, the effect of the Intersection over...master thesis 2020

Ortega-Córdova, Lessie (author)3D city models are now common planning and analysis tools. Urban vegetation as a feature in these models, however, is neglected overshadowed by the focus on buildings, so its inclusion in 3D city models is often symbolic. On the other hand, urban vegetation improves the comfort and social well being of a city’s inhabitants and is a resource for...master thesis 2018

Roebroeks, Joppe (author)Geological surveying is a common practice performed by geologists nowadays. Determining layer orientation parameters and identifying folds are examples of features needed in order to create a geological map or model of the (sub) surface. Surveying is expensive and time consuming, therefore such survey is recently being investigated and...master thesis 2018

Broersen, T. (author)The Netherlands is characterised by mostly low lying, flat, and engineered agricultural lands, which are sensitive to flooding. To protect against floods, a correct network characterisation is of the utmost importance. A Dutch water resources management company, the HDSR, wishes to have a highly automated method to characterise the water course...master thesis 2016

Wouda, B.J. (author)The recent emergence of LiDAR scanning technology has resulted in the availability of very large three dimensional point cloud data sets. An example of such a data set is the AHN2 data set, which contains a high-density point cloud for the Netherlands. The direct visualization of these point cloud data sets is important because it provides the...master thesis 2011
