In this thesis the workings of a time-resolved setup are treated as well as the underlying physics. The setup is based on optical gating, which gives control over very short moments in time to let light pass through a gate. As this process is stable, light can be studied in very short and low intensities. …

A program that automatically detects auroral events in all-sky images taken by the all-sky camera of IRF has been written. Current programs that automatically detect the aurora in all-sky images using the RGB color system often miss strong aurora and sometimes interprets clouds as aurora. To improve …

Naar aanleiding van de opdracht van SCIENCECUP om onderzoek te doen naar bestek sorteren is deze afstudeeropdracht tot stand gekomen. Op basis van een casus van verhuurbedrijf ’t Hekeltje is een opdracht vastgesteld: ontwerp een machine voor het sorteren van bestek. Om deze hoofdvraag te beantwoorden …

Abstract A setup is designed and constructed to perform specular reectance spectroscopy on an enzymatic reaction, while simultaneously monitoring the heat produced by the reaction using a FLIR camera. The spectrum of ethanol was recorded using two MCT detectors and showed clear overlap with literature …

When designing for FPGAs a lot of knowledge about hardware design and FPGA technology is required. In order to try and reduce the required knowledge, TNO researches two manners of simplifying that design process. One of which is OpenCL, the other is the HDL Coder from The MathWorks. A graduation project …

Dit rapport beschrijft een onderzoek naar de meest geschikte methode voor het herkennen van getallen die weergegeven worden op LED displays. Dit gebeurt door middel van een camera.

This report is the result of a study done at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama. It is part of a bachelor thesis of the Forest- and Nature Management – Tropical Forestry Program at Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands. This study is the first in a series …

In opdracht van bedrijf X heeft Sjeel Bouman een onderzoek uitgevoerd naar de positionering van een camera. Met deze camera spreekt het bedrijf een, voor hen, nieuwe doelgroep aan. De doelgroep is vastgesteld op Nederlandse hobby duikers, in de leeftijdscategorie 20 tot en met 49 jaar. Om deze nieuwe …

Urban delta areas require innovative and adaptive urban developments to face problems related with land scarcity and impacts of climate change and flooding. Floating structures offer the flexibility and multi-functionality required to efficiently face these challenges and demands. The impact of these …

To analyze, interpret and evaluate microscopic images, used in medical diagnostics and forensic science, video images for educational purposes were made with a very high resolution of 4096 × 2160 pixels (4K), which is four times as many pixels as High-Definition Video (1920 × 1080 pixels). The unprecedented …
