  3. 12. Multiple-Emitter Super-resolution Imaging using the Alternating Descent Conditional Gradient Method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Dolev Illouz; [2023]
    Keywords : super-resolution; alternating descent conditional gradient method; ADCG; multiple-emitter localization; nanoscale imaging; single molecule tracking; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the state-of-the-art 2D super-resolution technique alternating descent conditional gradient (ADCG) method's ability to accurately localize fluorophores in diffraction-limited single molecule images (SMI) and analyze the impact of pre-processing and post-processing modules on ADCG's fluorophore localization. A synthetic dataset obtained from the 2013 Grand Challenge localization microscopy and a temporally linked dataset obtained from an unpublished set of Optical DNA mapping experiments performed by Jonathan Jeffet at the NanoBioPhotonix Lab at Tel-Aviv University were initially segmented to extract their noise parameters.

  4. 13. 3D-Reconstruction of the Common Murre

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Johannes Hägerlind; [2023]
    Keywords : pose estimation; shape estimation; 3D reconstruction; articulated mesh; bird; common murre;

    Abstract : Automatic 3D reconstruction of birds can aid researchers in studying their behavior. Recently there has been an attempt to reconstruct a variety of birds from single-view images. However, the common murre's appearance is different from the birds that have been studied. Moreover, recent studies have focused on side views. READ MORE

  5. 14. Hawk-kite as a scaring method for avian pests in Kenyan rice fields

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Linnea Hollsten; [2023]
    Keywords : bird; crop; damage mitigation; pest control; repellent;

    Abstract : The human population is increasing globally, and so are the human-wildlife interactions and conservation conflicts. One source of conservation conflict is the crop damage caused by wildlife. Crop damage is negatively affecting farmers, but also the wildlife due to lethal methods used to reduce the damage.

  6. 15. The foraging distribution of Cape gannets in relation to Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Pelagia Maria Tsousi; [2023]
    Keywords : cape gannets; morus capensis; marine Protected Areas; addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area; foraging distribution;

    Abstract : Seabirds are considered to be the sentinels of the ocean, as they are able to locate their prey in spite of the great heterogeneity of the marine environment. During the breeding season, these central-place foragers not only need to find prey to maintain themselves but also to feed their young. READ MORE
