  1. 11. UAV geolocalization in Swedish fields and forests using Deep Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Andreas Rohlén; [2021]
    Keywords : Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; Absolute Localization; Deep Learning; Convolutional Neural Network; Cross-View; Neural Network Interpretation; Obemannad Luftburet Fordon; Absolut Lokalisering; Djupinlärning; Convolutional Neural Network; Kors-Perspektiv; Neural nätverkstolkning;

    Abstract : The ability for unmanned autonomous aerial vehicles (UAV) to localize themselves in an environment is fundamental for them to be able to function, even if they do not have access to a global positioning system. Recently, with the success of deep learning in vision based tasks, there have been some proposed methods for absolute geolocalization using vison based deep learning with satellite and UAV images.

  5. 14. A contemporary machine learning approach to detect transportation mode - A case study of Borlänge, Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Mikrodataanalys

    Author : Arman Golshan; [2020]
    Keywords : GPS data; Semi-supervised learning; Transport mode detection; LSTM Autoencoder; Deep Neural Network;

    Abstract : Understanding travel behavior and identifying the mode of transportation are essential for adequate urban devising and transportation planning. Global positioning systems (GPS) tracking data is mainly used to find human mobility patterns in cities. READ MORE

  6. 15. Materialisation of emergent farmers in a Malawian context : a privileged class’ positioning in agricultural transformation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Gustav Broms; [2020]
    Keywords : capital accumulation; surplus value; food regime; patronage; differentiation; livelihood; diversification; food security;

    Abstract : Emergent farmers have rapidly increased in numbers on the sub-Saharan African continent during the last couple of decades. The main interest in this study lies in how emergent farmers have materialised as a class in a political economic context and historical process and what societal impact they have had. READ MORE
