Aan de hand van de karakteristieke aspecten van een beeld kunnen bepaalde computers ons vertellen wat het beeld laat zien. Ze kunnen dit leren op dezelfde manier als jonge kinderen beelden kunnen leren herkennen. Het verder verbeteren van deze technieken opent de weg naar een hele reeks nieuwe toepassingen.…

In this dissertation non-parametric Bayesian methods are used in the application of robotic vision.

Sewer pipes are an essential infrastructure in modern society and their proper operation is important for public health. To keep sewer pipes operational as much as possible, periodical inspections for defects are performed.

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

Linde Desmaele onderzoekt de dilemma's die voortvloeien uit het Amerikaanse beleid rond lastenverdeling, met focus op de Europese bondgenoten.

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

Striga hermonthica, commonly known as witchweed, infests major cereal crops in Sub-Saharan Africa causing severe yield losses and threatening the livelihood of millions of resource poor farmers.

With the dramatic growth of the image data on the web, there is an increasing demand of the algorithms capable of understanding the visual information automatically.

In this thesis we explore machine and deep learning approaches that address keychallenges in high dimensional problem areas and also in improving accuracy in wellknown problems. In high dimensional contexts, we have focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

In 2018, the number of mobile phone users will reach about 4.9 billion. Assuming an average of 5 photos taken per day using the built-in cameras would result in about 9 trillion photos annually.

OB associations are loose groups of young, massive stars. They constitute the last stage of the massive starformation process, and the context in which new stars are formed.

Beeldbewerking heeft met de komst van Deep Learning een revolutie doorgemaakt. Dit heeft, in het bijzonder, opmerkelijke voortgang gegeven in het onderzoeksveld variërend van autonome besturing van voertuigen tot medische diagnostiek.

This thesis investigates the application of deep learning techniques in image analysis across various domains, focusing on four main themes: feature extraction, classification, segmentation, and integration, demonstrating the transformative potential of these technologies.

We explored how to morphologically classify well-resolved jetted radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN) in the LOw Frequency Array (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) using machine learning.

Workshop

Natural history collections provide invaluable sources for researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds, aspiring to study the geographical distribution of flora and fauna across the globe as well as other evolutionary processes.

In this Yearbook you will find some fascinating examples of what was done in 2021, not only by ourselves, but also by our international colleagues.

Europese burgers worden geconfronteerd met uitdagingen op het gebied van globalisering, migratie, technologische ontwikkelingen en klimaatverandering. Deze uitdagingen vergen het uiterste van onderlinge internationale en intergenerationele solidariteit, wat rechtstreeks betrekking heeft op de grondslagen…

Humans perceive the real world through their sensory organs: vision, taste, hearing, smell, and touch. In terms of information, we consider these different modesalso referred to as different channels of information or modals.

De eerste index om de veiligheid, duurzaamheid en circulariteit van producten te meten, waarmee ze het EU-kader (SSbD) operationaliseren.

This thesis takes steps toward understanding the interaction between gas-phase and solid-state molecules in star- and planet-forming regions.

Over the past two centuries, socioeconomic development has improved material living standards but has also intensified environmental pressures, including climate change and biodiversity loss.

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

This thesis comprises the development of reproducible synthesis procedures for two-dimensional materials (composed of boron, nitrogen and carbon) on different metallic surfaces.

Stellar feedback is a crucial ingredient in the evolution of galaxies.

Dit artikel biedt een systematisch literatuuronderzoek van de belangrijkste principes, normen en strategieën van Security by Design en Privacy by Design.

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

The majority (80%) of e-waste generated globally are recycled informally in developing countries.

In 2009-2010 ontstond in het westerse discours het idee van een meer ‘assertief’ China, een opvatting die China krachtig van de hand wijst. Niettemin is, vooral sinds Xi Jinping in 2012 aan de macht kwam, duidelijk dat China zijn lang gehanteerde buitenlandse beleidsdoctrine van ‘een lage profilering…

The thesis is about the study of shell evolution of the Hydrocenidae of the genus Georissa. This thesis started with a general overview on the evolutionary process of animals due to ecological changes.

Why do sexual violence policies still fail to systematically address men and masculinities, when the need for cultural change among men has been central in public debates since #MeToo?

The focus of this thesis is how stars like our Sun and planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth are formed.

The dissertation offers new tools and insights to computation and modelling of topological phases, with an emphasis on the aperiodic setting.
