  2. 1. Mapping and Merging Using Sound and Vision : Automatic Calibration and Map Fusion with Statistical Deformations

    Author : Gabrielle Flood; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Time of arrival; TOA; Time-difference of arrival; TDOA; Subsample methods; Uncertainty measure; Constant offset; RANSAC; Map merging; Map fusion; Change detection; Collaborative SLAM; Structure from motion; SfM; SLAM; Mapping; Localisation; Registration; Sparse maps; Point clouds;

    Abstract : Over the last couple of years both cameras, audio and radio sensors have become cheaper and more common in our everyday lives. Such sensors can be used to create maps of where the sensors are positioned and the appearance of the surroundings. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards Precise Localisation : Subsample Methods, Efficient Estimation and Merging of Maps

    Author : Gabrielle Flood; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; localisation; map merging; subsample; stochastic analysis; time-difference-of-arrival;

    Abstract : Over the last couple of years audio and radio sensors have become cheaper and more common in our everyday life. Such sensors can be used to form a network, from which one can obtain distance measures by correlating the different received signals. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modelling, mapping and visualisation of flood inundation uncertainties

    Author : Nancy Joy Lim; Stefan Seipel; S. Anders Brandt; Eva A. U. Sahlin; Matthew Wilson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cartography; flood; hydraulic modelling; GIS; map; uncertainty; visualisation; GIS; hydraulisk modellering; karta; kartografi; osäkerhet; visualisering; översvämning; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : Flood maps showing extents of predicted flooding for a given extreme event have wide usage in all types of spatial planning tasks, as well as serving as information material for the public. However, the production processes that these maps undergo (including the different data, methods, models and decisions from the persons generating them), which include both Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydraulic modelling, affect the map’s content, and will be reflected in the final map.

    Abstract : Flooding is of great concern world-wide, causing damage to infrastructure, property and loss of life. Low-income countries, in particular, can be negatively affected by flood events due to their inherent vulnerabilities. Moreover, data to perform studies for flood risk management in low-income regions are often scarce or lacking sufficient quality. READ MORE

  7. 5. Embracing the data flood : integrating diverse data to improve phenotype association discovery in forest trees

    Author : Bastian Schiffthaler; Nathaniel Street; Martin Rosvall; Nicolas Delhomme; Marek Mutwil; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systems Biology; Association Discovery; Genomics; Transcriptomics; Genome Assembly; Gene Networks; Forest Tree; Aspen; Spruce; biology; biologi;

    Abstract : Complex traits represent valuable research targets as many highly desirable properties of plants and animals (such as growth rate and height) fall into this group. However, associating biological markers with these traits is incredibly challenging, in part due to their small effect sizes. READ MORE
