Bouter, P.A. (author)In recent years, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become prevalent in a large number of societally relevant, real-world problems, e.g., in the domains of engineering and health care. The field of Evolutionary Computation (EC) can be considered to be a sub-field of AI, concerning optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), which...doctoral thesis 2023

Halman, Susanna (author)This thesis presents the research to design a successful high-accuracy, sub-millimetric registration method for an autonomous robot equipped to drill bone for cochlear implant (CI) surgery. Its performance, and thus success, is measured in accuracy, workload, usability and trust. While state-of-the-art (STOTA) research lacks the inclusion of...master thesis 2023

Wang, Xufei (author), Yang, Z. (author), Cheng, Xiaojun (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Xu, Wenbing (author), Wu, Zhenlun (author), Nan, L. (author)Registering point clouds of forest environments is an essential prerequisite for LiDAR applications in precision forestry. State-of-the-art methods for forest point cloud registration require the extraction of individual tree attributes, and they have an efficiency bottleneck when dealing with point clouds of real-world forests with dense...journal article 2023

Grewal, M. (author), Wiersma, Jan (author), Westerveld, Henrike (author), Bosman, P.A.N. (author), Alderliesten, T. (author)Purpose: Deformable image registration (DIR) can benefit from additional guidance using corresponding landmarks in the images. However, the benefits thereof are largely understudied, especially due to the lack of automatic landmark detection methods for three-dimensional (3D) medical images. Approach: We present a deep convolutional neural...journal article 2023

Frantzen, Paco (author)Global climate change affects mountain regions such as the European Alps. Consequently, glacier extents decrease, and proglacial areas, the areas that recently lost their ice cover, increase in size. These proglacial areas are subject to a high frequency and magnitude of geomorphological activity and act as a sediment source for downstream...master thesis 2022

Chinea Hammecher, Claudia (author)Glioma progression is monitored by routine MR scanning, enabling tumor growth evaluation with respect to earlier time-points. This growth may present both as a mass effect and as an extension of abnormalities into previously healthy tissue. To accurately quantify tumor growth and tumor-induced deformations, longitudinal intrasubject image...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

Spasov, Mihail (author)Image registration is the process that overlays two or more images from different sources taken at different times and angles. Art conservators take various scans of paintings and then register them against the original in order to learn more about the working style of the artist, materials used and physical changes throughout time. This paper...bachelor thesis 2022

Quin, Tristan (author)This research investigates the efficacy and reliability of geometric matching for the specific case of aligning non-exact copies of artistic works with the original from which they were derived. The purpose of which is to provide a foundation for comparison in any further analysis conducted by conservators and art historians. An overview of the...bachelor thesis 2022

Groen, Vincent (author)The current state-of-the-art image alignment techniques and their input parameters are often unintuitive to those without the required background knowledge.<br/>This work aims to provide users with a graphical user interface through which they can intuitively influence the parameters and results of the algorithm by excluding certain areas from...bachelor thesis 2022

Cicimen, Alp (author)Surface Registration is a registration problem that handles the registration of two similar surfaces. In most research that utilises Deep Learning (DL) models to handle surface registration two theories are investigated; the first being whether surfaces sampled from the same origin can be registered together, and the second theory being whether...bachelor thesis 2022

Weyns, Maarten (author)In order to be able to use the Microsoft HoloLens for surgical navigation purposes, performing good patient alignment is of utmost importance. This paper will discuss how this patient alignment can be done using different point cloud registration algorithms.<br/>A lot of research is being conducted on point cloud registration algorithms. However...bachelor thesis 2022

van Ulsen, Hidde (author)Image registration is a fundamental requirement for many medical applications. In recent years, deep learning approaches for registration have shown to be a promising alternative to conventional methods. However, most learning based methods do not consider the different physical properties of various tissues, which can result in unrealistic...master thesis 2022

Dželalija, Grgo (author), Roić, Miodrag (author)This paper reviews approaches to utility registration and analyzes the Croatian utility cadaster and utility registration regulations. In Croatia, utility networks are registered in the national utility cadaster administered by State Geodetic Administration, with private companies obliged to send reports on all changes to the utility networks...conference paper 2022

Beck, Anthony (author), Moss, Duncan (author)Conventional wisdom indicates that there are two forms of register: a Register of Title and a Register of Deeds. However, we agree with Zevenbergen & Ploeger (2019, p. 7) when they state that in reality most systems are neither purely deeds or Title based and lie on a spectrum between the two poles. As binary concepts, the terms Title and Deed...conference paper 2022

Beck, Anthony (author)The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM (ISO TC/211, 2012)) is a conceptual model which supports the modelling of social relations with land articulated through rights. There are three principal concepts within LADM: the party (the who) that has a rights relationship (the what) with a plot of land (the where). As an abstraction the party...conference paper 2022

Stow, Dave (author), Hill, Michael (author), Beck, Anthony (author), Alderson, Laura (author), Moss, Duncan (author), Low, Magdalena (author)A Land Register should evolve to meet the changing social and policy needs of citizens, government and business. Evolution is about constant change. When there is a significant mismatch between the register and need then reform is required. Reform affects more than just legislation; reform disrupts policy, practice, networks and people....conference paper 2022

(author)Multimodal imaging is used by conservators and scientists to study the composition of paintings. To aid the combined analysis of these digitisations, such images must first be aligned. Rather than proposing a new domain-specific descriptor, we explore and evaluate how existing feature descriptors from related fields can improve the performance...conference paper 2022
