Rijpkema, Gerben (author)Forensic microtrace investigation relies on a time- and labour-intensive process of manually analysing samples via microscopy. To aid forensic experts in their investigations, an image recognition model for microtrace localisation and classification is needed. This work investigates the trace recognition accuracy that can be achieved by...master thesis 2024

van Leeuwen, Sander (author)Language is an intuitive and effective way for humans to communicate. Large Language Models (LLMs) can interpret and respond well to language. However, their use in deep reinforcement learning is limited as they are sample inefficient. State-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning algorithms are more sample efficient but cannot understand...master thesis 2023

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

Alaka, Shaad (author)Virtual worlds are rapidly increasing in size, enabled by advancements in computing technology, which puts a large burden on designers creating them.<br/>Procedural Content Generation can help alleviate this burden, though lacks precise control, to the detriment of designer intent. Some PCG algorithms, such as Wave Function Collapse (WFC), known...master thesis 2023

Panagiotidou, Ioanna (author)This thesis introduces a Learned-Based Multi-View Semantic Stereo method, addressing the limitations of traditional and learned-based Multi-View Stereo (MVS) techniques in reconstructing reflective and low-textured regions, particularly prevalent in 3D models of buildings. Traditional methods lack completeness, while learned-based methods...master thesis 2023

Tilro, Jesse (author)Reusable tools for engineering software languages can bridge the gap between formal specification and implementation, lowering the bar for engineers to design and implement programming languages. Among such tools belong NaBL2 and its successor Statix, which are meta-languages for declaratively specifying the static semantics of programming...master thesis 2023

Therias, Adele (author)The production of cocoa beans contributes to 7.5% of European Union (EU) driven deforestation. For this reason, the recent European Union Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR) requires producers to perform comprehensive tracking of cocoa farm extents. However, cocoa crops present unique detection challenges due to their complex canopy structure,...master thesis 2023

Wei, Wei (author)Active learning has been proposed as a solution to mitigate the expensive and time-consuming process of annotating large-scale autonomous driving datasets. The process typically involves a model initialization phase, followed by multiple iterations aiming at selecting the most informative data based on the initial model. However, we find two...master thesis 2023

Lemaire, Chris (author)For algebraic effects and handlers, we know both small-step and big-step operational semantics and we are familiar with denotational semantics. But, what is missing is a structured showing that one is equivalent to the other. On top of this, most efficient implementations of algebraic effects and handlers closely resemble their denotational...master thesis 2023

Bruggink, Daan (author)Traversability estimation is a key component in autonomous driving tasks. In many applications, semantic segmentation is used to pixel-wise classify a visual scene. The pixel-wise segmented map is used to estimate the traversability of different environments. The semantic segmentation accuracy can drop if environmental conditions change. The...master thesis 2023

Pena Pereira, Simon (author)Transforming the global energy sector from fossil-fuel based to renewable energy sources is key to limiting global warming and efficiently achieving climate neutrality. The decentralized nature of the renewable energy system allows private households to install photovoltaic (PV) systems on their rooftops. In this context, planning an efficient...master thesis 2023

van Driel, Pieter (author)This thesis research proposes a new method for a controlling an agricultural robot using computer vision. The robot has to follow and simultaneously reel in a hose, which lies on a grass field. The hose that has to be followed, is attached to the robot itself. The trajectory of the hose is captured by a monocular camera and is extracted from the...master thesis 2022

FRATZESKOU, CHRISTINA (author)Urban physics is a multi-scale and interdisciplinary field, that combines science and engineering for the study of physical processes in urban areas. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is considered a powerful tool for the study of these processes. In the context of microscale phenomena these processes refer to the transfer of heat and mass in...master thesis 2022

Sun, Chen (author)The prosperity of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) imposes increasing demand on endpoint microcontroller-based devices' performance and energy efficiency. The MCUs are demanded to process the raw data acquired from the sensors with the integer-based workload, such as digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and quantized neural network (QNN)...master thesis 2022

Jin, Ying (author)The main goal of this thesis is to understand the topological properties of semantic networks, to find language-specific patterns, and to investigate their connection principles. Interpreting unstructured texts in natural language is a crucial task for computers. Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications rely on semantic networks for...master thesis 2022

Molendijk, Thijs (author)The dynamic semantics of a programming language formally describe the runtime behavior of any given program. In this thesis, we present Dynamix, a meta-language for dynamic semantics. By writing a specification for a language in Dynamix, a compiler for the language can be derived automatically.<br/><br/>Dynamix specifications compile source...master thesis 2022

Mâachou, Mohammed (author)Achieving human-like action planning requires profound reasoning and context-awareness capabilities. It is especially true for autonomous robotic mobile manipulation in dynamic environments. In the case of component failure, the autonomous robotic system requires reliable adaptation capabilities combined with a consistent understanding of the...master thesis 2022

Apra, Irène (author)Automated reconstruction of detailed semantic 3D city models is challenging due to the need for high-resolution (HR) and large-scale input datasets, the ambiguous definition of the ensuing model, the intricacy of the processing pipeline, and its costs. Furthermore, existing methods mainly focus on geometry rather than semantics. Detailed...master thesis 2022

Vigilanza Lorenzo, Pietro (author)Machine Learning (ML) models are vulnerable to adversarial samples — human imperceptible changes to regular input to elicit wrong output on a given model. Plenty of adversarial attacks assume an attacker has access to the underlying model or access to the data used to train the model. Instead, in this paper we focus on the effects the data...bachelor thesis 2022
