Development of a Novel Object Detection System Based on Synthetic Data Generated from Unreal Game Engine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper presents a novel approach to training a real-world object detection system based on synthetic data utilizing state-of-the-art technologies. Training an object detection system can be challenging and time-consuming ... -
Control of Redundant Flexible Manipulators with Redundancy Resolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This paper deals with the online control of a redundant flexible link manipulator to achieve minimum oscillations using the redundancy resolution technique. Different redundancy resolution techniques proposed and used for ... -
Camera-LiDAR Data Fusion for Autonomous Mooring Operation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The use of camera and LiDAR sensors to sense the environment has gained increasing popularity in robotics. Individual sensors, such as cameras and LiDARs, fail to meet the growing challenges in complex autonomous systems. ... -
Filtrering og UV-bestråling - veien fra avløpsvann til vanningsvann
(Master thesis, 2022)As world water demand grows, its reclamation and reuse becomes increasingly important. It is expected that global demand for water will exceed supply by 40% in 2030. In addition, it is expected that the world population ... -
Avstivningsevnen til sammensatte veggelementer av limtre
(Master thesis, 2022)In recent years, the use of timber in large structures has increased, partly because of its good environmental properties. One wood-based product that has emerged is the HBE-element, which practically is a 580mm high glulam ... -
Nytteverdi av grunnundersøkelser med georadar i nye vegprosjekter
(Master thesis, 2022)This master thesis addresses the topic of utility value of site investigations with ground penetrating radar in new road projects. The thesis aims to answer the following research question: How can site investigations with ... -
Dimensjonering og analyse av fiberarmert polymer som armeringsstenger i plattendekke
(Master thesis, 2022)Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is an advanced composite which offers high capacity in tensile strength, low weight and excellent corrosion resistance. Rebars made from basalt-, glass- and carbon fibers are readily available ... -
