  2. 1. Inferring Land Use from Remote Sensing Imagery : A context-based approach

    Author : Michael Meinild Nielsen; Bo Malmberg; Anders Wästfelt; Douglas A. Stow; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; land use; remote sensing; urban remote sensing; image analysis; segmentation; spatial context; land cover; land cover configuration; farming types; bark beetle; dead trees; forest inventory; kulturgeografi; Human Geography;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis investigates the potential of classification methods based on spatial context to infer specific forms of land use from remote sensing data. The problem is that some types of land use are characterized by a complex configuration of land covers that traditional per-pixel based methods have problems classifying due to spectral heterogeneity.

  4. 2. The Spatial Context – through the lens of method development

    Author : Linda Kvastad; Joakim Lundeberg; Lars Feuk; KTH; []
    Keywords : RNA; RNA-sequencing; transcriptomics; spatial transcriptomics; single cells; pediatric brain tumors; Spatial RIN; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : In the present moment of time, we find ourselves in a period where the advancement of genomic tools is progressing at a fast pace. Of particular interest for this thesis is the study of gene activity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exploring Biological Systems using Spatial Transcriptomic Technologies

    Author : Kim Thrane; Joakim Lundeberg; Patrik Ståhl; Ulf Gyllensten; KTH; []
    Keywords : Spatial Transcriptomics; single-cell RNA-seq; scRNA-seq; spatial VDJ; Spatial Isoform Transcriptomics; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : The transcriptome and the cells’ spatial organization are important determinants for the functions of biological systems, such as a tumor, brain, or skin tissue. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for profiling the transcriptome of individual cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Functional understanding of space : Representing spatial knowledge using concepts grounded in an agent's purpose

    Author : Kristoffer Sjöö; Patric Jensfelt; David Vernon; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spatial representation; autonomous robots; spatial understanding; semantic mapping; spatial relations; visual search; robot search;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the role of function in representations of space by robots - that is, dealing directly and explicitly with those aspects of space and objects in space that serve some purpose for the robot. It is suggested that taking function into account helps increase the generality and robustness of solutions in an unpredictable and complex world, and the suggestion is affirmed by several instantiations of functionally conceived spatial models.

  7. 5. Patterns of co-presence : Spatial configuration and social segregation

    Author : Ann Legeby; Lars Marcus; Laura Vaughan; Daniel Koch; Julienne Hanson; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; co-presence; spatial configuration; public space; urban segregation; urban design; public life; spatial affordance;

    Abstract : This thesis notes that there is a lack of systematic research investigating segregation patterns based on how public space is used and frequented by citizens. In order for understanding of urban segregation to reach beyond residential segregation, the extent to which public space facilitates co-presence between social groups is a key issue. READ MORE
