Construction Progress Monitoring Using BIM And 3D Reconstruction Technologies. Ghent University
The proposed research aims to automate the construction progress monitoring of buildings using the
IFC-based BIM and laser-scanned models. To solve the pre-requisite registration task the research
proposes several novel registration methods based on the building geometry. To accurately monitor
the progress the registered laser scanned-model is then compared with the ...
The Loss of Original Experience due to Ageing in Color Field Painting: Towards an Interdisciplinary Reconstruction of Art Method (IRECONA) KU Leuven
The extent of the visual degradation in Color Field paintings, due to the ageing of (synthetic) materials has been largely overlooked. Since the relevance and meaning of Color Field paintings strongly depend on their specific visual effects, significant visual alterations often imply a loss of the original intentions of the artists. This project wants to thematise the ageing problem in art history and develop a new extensive reconstruction ...
Paleoenvironmental reconstruction in Madagascar. KU Leuven
Madagascar is an excellent location for paleoenvironmental study because of its unique topography, climate, and environment. However, it is among understudied regions worldwide, and even though substantial paleoenvironmental conclusions have been drawn from separate investigation of peleothem proxies (e.g., from Anjohibe Cave) and lake sediments proxies (e.g. from Lake Mitsinjo), such conclusions have not yet been fully validated. Validation ...

Language contact and linguistic reconstruction: (pre)historic Bantu-Khoisan interactions in Southern Africa in a historical linguistic perspective Ghent University
The Southern African linguistic landscape is dominated by Bantu languages, which form Africa’s largest language family and are spoken by the vast majority of Southern Africans. Nonetheless, the first Bantu-speaking communities arrived in Southern Africa less than two thousand years ago, where they came into contact with and gradually replaced the languages of pre-existing hunter-gatherer and pastoralist communities, known as “Khoisan” ...
