Spectral imaging has many applications, from methane detection using satellites to disease detection on crops. However, spectral cameras remain a costly solution ranging from 10 thousand to 100 thousand euros for the hardware alone. Here, we present a low-cost multispectral camera (LC-MSC) with 64 LEDs …

Back in 2013 Maxxton started using Cloudinary as the Content Delivery Network (CDN) for images on websites of their clients. Over time Cloudinary expanded into a large company with over three hundred employees. They introduced many new features that were irrelevant to Maxxton, while they increased costs …

Exercising broilers may reduce health problems as this benefits leg development and limits the time in which broilers’ skin is in contact with dirty litter. Scattering dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) in the whole pen could increase broiler activity. We studied the activity of broilers during dried …

In de corona-periode zijn veel evenementen niet doorgegaan. Dit geldt ook voor de beurzensector. Aan de student is gevraagd om te onderzoeken hoe een online beurs zou kunnen gaan werken en wat hiervoor nodig is. Hiervoor is het belangrijk om rekening te houden met de schaalbaarheid van het platform en …

Masonry structures represent the highest proportion of building stock worldwide. Currently, the structural condition of such structures is predominantly manually inspected which is a laborious, costly and subjective process. With developments in computer vision, there is an opportunity to use digital …

In 1990, livestock grazing was introduced in Meijendel, a 1800 ha lime-rich coastal dune area, at a density of 0.06–0.07 LLU.ha-1.year−1 (1:12–18 ha) to counteract encroachment of tall grasses and shrubland on dune grassland and increase the bare sand area. Monitoring was based on four digital orthophotos …

Neighborhood image processing operations on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) are considered as memory intensive operations. A large memory bandwidth is required to transfer the required pixel data from external memory to the processing unit. On-chip image buffers are employed to reduce this data …

SRON is the Dutch national expertise institute for scientific space research and is part of NWO. It plays an important role in delivering contributions to the national and international space-research communities. Currently one of SRON’s involvements is in the X-IFU instrument for the Athena space X-ray …

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 …

With sufficient electrical energy CO2 from the atmosphere, combined with water, can be converted to hydrocarbons. The first step in converting CO2 into a carbon based fuel is the dissociation of CO2 into CO and O. DIFFER explores the possibilities of this process by using a microwave plasma. This project …
