This paper describes the concept of a new algorithm to control an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for accurate autonomous indoor flight. Inside a greenhouse, Global Positioning System (GPS) signals are not reliable and not accurate enough. As an alternative, Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is used for localization. The …

During the last decades there has been an uprising in stress related health problems. To counter this growing problem, a system is proposed to detect stress events at an individual level. These events can then be used as feedback in efforts to prevent chronic stress symptoms from developing. To detect …

In dit onderzoek is gezocht naar de invloed van de b-waarde op bij Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) voor Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Hierbij is gekeken naar een optimale beeldkwaliteit voor Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) en Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) voor de diagnose van een Transient Ischemic …

Modern binaural hearing aids (HAs) can collaborate wirelessly with each other as well as with other assistive (wireless) devices. This enables multi-microphone noise reduction over small wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) to increase the intelligibility under adverse conditions. In this work, …

Een bijeenkomst met partners uit Duitsland, Nederland, Oostenrijk en Polen ten behoeve van de uitwisseling van kennis en ervaring over bewonersinitiatieven. Daarnaast excursies naar best practices.

Autonomous driving in public roads requires precise localization within the range of few centimeters. Even the best localization systems based on GNSS cannot always reach this level of precision, especially in an urban environment, where the signal is disturbed by surrounding buildings and artifacts. …

Multiple scientific and industrial applications such as telecommunication and quantum cryptography causing a rise in the development of the superconducting nanowire single photons detectors (SNSPD). In the last decade, the characteristics of the detectors improved but run against the problem that the …

In Northern Ghana, the shea nut tree is often referred to as the Northern “cocoa”, supposedly to signal the potential of Shea-nut as a weapon against poverty and to alleviate and empower women in terms of their financial status. This study was conducted to assess the contribution of shea butter extraction …

The Amsterdam Sensor Lab is part of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) and its goal is to develop application specific sensor systems for applied research. In order to (anonymously) measure, for instance, traffic without influencing people’s behaviour, a pressure sensing sub-tile is …
