Augmented reality in revalidatie: Een nieuwe deep learning aanpak voor de markerloze bepaling van de menselijke houding en het berekenen van gangparameters. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
beeldverwerking dat draait rond het bepalen van de positie van het
menselijke lichaam in 3D. HPE is de belangrijkste technologie achter
markerless motion capture, een aanpak die vaak verkozen wordt
boven een marker gebaseerde aanpak omdat de eerste draagbaar,
minder duur en eenvoudig op te zetten is. Deze aanpak is echter
vaak niet nauwkeurig genoeg ...
Partnergeweld: impact, processen, evoluties en beleid in België. - FASE 2 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The objective of the project is to study IPV from a dual approach: discussing the impact of the phenomenon and the complex processes from which it results and also considering it from the angle of the public policies developed in this matter. The aim is to link these two approaches in order to propose a better articulation between the media discourse, the scientific knowledge on ...
Hoe lichaamsrelevantie de hersenorganisatie stimuleert KU Leuven
Social species, and specifically human and nonhuman primates, rely heavily on conspecifics for survival. Considerable time is spent watching each other’s behavior because this is often the most relevant source of information for preparing adaptive social responses. The project RELEVANCE aims to understand how the brain evolved special structures to process highly relevant social stimuli like bodies and to reveal how social vision sustains ...
To the whetstone or the drawing board? Holding Corporations Accountable at State and Multilateral Levels for Cross-border Negative Externalities KU Leuven
Though few would argue that the growth of global trade driven in large part by multi-national enterprises has not had positive effects in terms of the alleviation of poverty and higher levels of development throughout the world, that corporations also exploit limited natural resources, spoil the environment and create unsafe and inequitable conditions of labour in the pursuit of maximizing profits is well known. Many corporate disasters or ...
Time and Technology in Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas Orpheus Instituut
This research aims to capture notions of musical time such as rhythm and tempo as they were conceived in late eighteenth-century, and how these evolved through the nineteenth century.
I engage with various historical keyboard instruments in correlation with Beethoven’s works considering, beside their purely musical signification, their socio-cultural contexts as well. Under the light of the latter, these instruments become direct ...
Gerichte fractionering van ionen mogelijk maken via gefaciliteerde transportmembranen KU Leuven
Effective fractionation of ions does not only play a vital role in the functioning of human cell membranes, but also in engineered membranes used to produce drinkable water, extract target minerals and capture energy to address challenges in environmental, resource & energy fields. Nevertheless, most of the state-of-the-art membranes fail to overcome the trade-off between single ion selectivity and throughput. The progress is greatly ...
OperatorKnowledge: geautomatiseerde creatie van digitale montage-instructies door door operators gedreven kennisvastlegging Universiteit Gent
Het OperatorInfo ICON-project, momenteel in uitvoering (20162017, werkt aan een oplossing voor het filteren en weergeven van de meest geschikte digitale montage-instructies op basis van contextuele informatie zoals ervaring, voorkeuren en weergave-inrichting van de operator. van passende en bijgewerkte montage-instructies om dat filterproces te ondersteunen.Het filteren heeft geen zin op onvolledige of zelfs gedeeltelijk verkeerde ...
Gedistribueerde signaalverwerkingalgoritmen voor chronische neurosensornetwerken KU Leuven
The possibility to chronically monitor the brain 24/7 in daily-life activities would revolutionize human-machine interactions and health care, e.g., in the context of neuroprostheses, neurological disorders, and brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Such chronic systems must satisfy challenging energy and miniaturization constraints, leading to modular designs in which multiple networked miniature neuro-sensor modules form a ‘neuro-sensor network’ ...
Koude bosmicroklimaten en het stedelijke hitte-eilandeffect: effecten op biodiversiteit op verschillende ruimtelijke en temporele schalen Universiteit Gent
Climate change is expected to have profound amplified impacts on densely populated and urbanised regions such as Belgium. With this project we aim to combine advanced high resolution climate modeling with past long term (100 yrs), medium term (25 yrs) and contemporary changes in species composition and functional characteristics of plants and animals. First, a tool will be developed to produce high-resolution historical climate data for any ...
