  4. 13. Improving Biometric Log Detection with Partitioning and Filtering of the Search Space

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

    Author : Nijat Rajabli; [2021]
    Keywords : tree log tracking; tree log identification; cross-section segmentation; search space reduction; transfer learning;

    Abstract : Tracking of tree logs from a harvesting site to its processing site is a legal requirement for timber-based industries for social and economic reasons. Biometric tree log detection systems use images of the tree logs to track the logs by checking whether a given log image matches any of the logs registered in the system. READ MORE

  6. 15. Can real time data be used as an effective input for lighting control to influence human behaviour in a physical space against the backdrop of the global shift toward an experience economy?

    University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

    Author : Siobhan Lawson; [2021]
    Keywords : phygital; experience; lighting; data; light; design; behaviour; retail; attention; ambient communication; group; lighting control;

    Abstract : The use of real time data as an input for lighting control is an emerging element for designers to implement into lighting schemes but does it add any value or have the ability to influence human behaviour? The recent development in technological capabilities, the demand within the emerging experience economy and the hybridisation of digital and physical realms make this a current and relevant investigation. This study aims to understand the relationship between light and behaviour and the potential of real time data to enhance it by initiating and curating lighting effect in a physical space. READ MORE
