In de huidige landbouwsector worden grote hoeveelheden gewasbeschermingsmiddelen gebruikt, wat leidt tot hoge kosten voor telers. De verwachte aanscherping van wetgeving dwingt de industrie om efficiëntere spuitmethoden te onderzoeken. Een veelbelovende oplossing is het implementeren van precisiespuiten, …

In recent years, drones have increasingly supported First Responders (FRs) in monitoring incidents and providing additional information. However, analysing drone footage is time-intensive and cognitively demanding. In this research, we investigate the use of AI models for the detection of humans in drone …

Smart glasses were perceived to be potentially revolutionary for healthcare, however, there is only limited research on the acceptance and social implications of smart glasses in healthcare. This study aims to get a better insight into the theoretical foundations and the purpose was to identify themes …

In Sicht von oben, ‘Powers of Ten’ und Bildpolitiken der Vertikalität (Spector Books, Leipzig, 2022) German media theorist and curator Vera Tollmann analyses the power aspects of the technical view from above. The context here is not so much the first manned flight with a balloon in 1783 in Paris but …

Een onderzoek naar de mogelijkheden van automatisch precisielandbouw datadelen in de Nederlandse agrarische sector. welke partijen zijn er actief, wat biedt men aan en op welke manier werkt het samen. de use-case van loonwerkers wordt besproken en 2 oplossingsrichtingen zijn geformuleerd.

City governments increasingly experiment with civic participation in the procurement and the realization of smart city technologies in order to improve the incorporation of human values. In this paper, a model is proposed with the level of participation, the continuity of participation and the extent …

This thesis project presents a novel approach for detecting corrosion using drone-based surveillance systems by modifying the YOLOv5 object detection model and deploying it to a VOXL 2 flight controller for real-time image processing. The central goal is to enhance the model's accuracy in detecting corrosion …

Since the return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus) in the Netherlands in 2015, much research has been done on the ecology and distribution of the species. This has led to a dietary study using hair- and DNA-sampling of wolf scats, and preliminary analyses of DNA in wolf scats showed that DNA from non-prey, …

Onkruiden concurreren met gewassen om water, nutriënten en licht. Daarnaast kunnen onkruiden als waardplant dienen voor ziekten en plagen. Ze vormen daarmee een bedreiging voor gewasopbrengst en kwaliteit. Hierdoor is het voor telers belangrijk dat onkruiden zo volledig mogelijk bestreden worden. Door …

Skilled actors rely on deception to disrupt the perceptual ability of opponents who seek to anticipate action intentions. Common-coding theory (Prinz, 1997) purports that action and perception share common origins in the brain, and therefore it seems plausible that the ability to ‘see through’ a deceptive …
