  1. 1. Data Augmentations for Improving Vision-Based Damage Detection : in Land Transport Infrastructure

    University essay from KTH/Lantmäteri – fastighetsvetenskap och geodesi

    Author : Punnawat Siripatthiti; [2023]
    Keywords : Computer Vision; Data Augmentation; Object Detection; Crack Detection; Road Damage Detection; Sleeper Defect Detection; datorseende; dataökning; objektdetektering; sprickdetektering; vägbeläggning; järnvägsslipers;

    Abstract : Crack, a typical term most people know, is a common form of distress or damage in road pavements and railway sleepers. It poses significant challenges to their structural integrity, safety, and longevity. Over the years, researchers have developed various data-driven technologies for image-based crack detection in road and sleeper applications. READ MORE

  3. 2. Map Based Sensor Fusion for Lane Boundary Estimation on ADAS

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

    Author : Puya Faghi; [2023]
    Keywords : Lane estimation; Lane detection; Map-matching; Sensor fusion; Smart camera; Vehicle Radar; Intelligent vehicle systems; Körfältsestimering; Körfältsdetektering; Kartmatchning; Sensorfusion; Smart Kamera; Radar system; Fordonsradar; Intelligenta fordonssystem;

    Abstract : A vehicles ability to detect and estimate its surroundings is important for ensuring the safety of the vehicle and passengers regardless of the level of vehicle autonomy. With an improved road and lane estimation, advanced driver-assistance systems will be able to provide earlier and more accurate warnings and actions to prevent a possible accident. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of probabilistic forecasts in Uppsala and its potential use in winter road maintenance
