  1. 6. Skyline Delineation for Localization in Occluded Environments : Improved Skyline Delineation using Environmental Context from Deep Learning-based Semantic Segmentation

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

    Author : Kyle William Coble; [2023]
    Keywords : Skyline delineation; Skyline detection; Semantic segmentation; Terrain based navigation; Digital elevation models; Uncrewed surface vessel; Planetary exploration robots; Horisont avgränsning; Horisont upptäckt; Semantisk segmentering; Terrängbaserad navigering; Digitala höjdmodeller; Obemannat ytfartyg; Planetariska utforskningsrobotar;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of improving the delineation of skylines, also referred to as skyline detection, in occluded and challenging environments where existing skyline delineation methods may struggle or fail. Delineated skylines can be used in monocular camera localization methods by comparing delineated skylines to digital elevation model data to estimate a position based on known terrain. READ MORE

  3. 7. Small States, Big Fish : Comparing Kuwaiti, Omani, and Qatari Foreign Policy and Engagement with Proscribed Armed Groups During Mediation in Yemen

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning

    Author : Freke Leene; [2023]
    Keywords : Small-state mediation; Foreign policy independence; Proscription; Inclusivity; Gulf states;

    Abstract : In recent years, more small states have entered the arena of international mediation. While research generally recognizes that small states can use international mediation to further their own foreign policy goals, the implications of that notion remain understudied. READ MORE

  4. 8. The Ecological and Anthropogenic Impacts of fishing gear in a tropical system : How the size of Spotted Rose Snapper (Lutjanus guttatus) and the ratio of target catch, is influenced by approved fishing gear within a marine area of responsible fishing in the South-Western Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Alfred Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Overfishing; overexploitation; Spotted Rose Snapper; Lutjanus guttatus; Gulf of Nicoya; Costa Rica; marine protected areas; artisinal fishermen; bycatch; Costa Rican Institute of Fisheries and Aquaculture; incopesca; fishing gear; longlines;

    Abstract : The oceans are essential for humanity, yet these systems continue to be degraded and suffer from pollution, habitat destruction and overexploitation. The Costa Rican Gulf of Nicoya is a productive gulf that is fished by both large-scale industrial fisheries and small-scale artisanal fishermen. READ MORE

  5. 9. How using live bait affects longline bycatch in the artisanal fishing fleet of Costa Rica : The dilemma between live and dead bait

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Jonathan Baeck; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Long-lining is a frequently used method in marine fisheries. Similarly to trawling and nets, also long-lining is associated with bycatch which may have negative impacts on the ecosystems. However, different methods of long-lining may vary in the amount and ratio of bycatch but methods have rarely been compared directly. READ MORE

  6. 10. Co-occurring Cold Extremes in North America and Unusually Warm Weather in Europe

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Petros Stergiou; [2023]
    Keywords : Extreme temperature events co-occurrence; cold spells; warm extremes; Europe; North America; Pan-Atlantic atmospheric teleconnections; Samtidiga extrema temperaturhändelser; kalla extrema; varma extrema; Europa; Nordamerika; Pan-Atlantiska atmosfäriska telekopplingar;

    Abstract : In this project, we identified and examined the 50 coldest extreme temperature eventsin North America (CENA) and the 50 warmest extreme temperature events insouthwestern Europe (WEEU) during the winter seasons from 1948 to 2023. For theanalysis, we utilized daily NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data for temperature, sea levelpressure (SLP), and 500hPa geopotential height (Z500). READ MORE
