Conceptualization and geometric modelling of spatial data for a 3D archaeological GIS Ghent University
Archaeologists would greatly benefit from the development of an archaeological 3D geographical information system (GIS). The objective of the proposed research is to create a decision scheme through which a suitable 3D geometric modelling technique for such a system can be determined, taking into account the needs of archaeological research and based on a user-centered, theoretical and empirical pillar.
A clear modelling of the fuzzy geometric and semantic data of the Ferraris map in a historical GIS Ghent University
The Carte de Cabinet of count Joseph de Ferraris (1770-1780) is the oldest, large-scale topographical map of our regions. To allow the map to realize its full potential in different research disciplines a GIS-model will be developed to deal with the map's vague geometry and semantics (the occurrence of globel and local geometric deformations and the absence of parish bouncaries respectively).
Systematic approach to geometrical calibration of X-ray computed tomography instruments KU Leuven
This doctoral thesis addresses the issue of geometrical calibration of CT instruments. The term ‘calibration’ has a well-defined meaning in the field of metrology: measurement of a quantity by comparison to a traceable reference and assessment of uncertainty in that comparison. Therefore, instrument geometrical calibration refers to the measurement of the instrument geometry, defined by a set of geometrical parameters, by comparison to a ...
Phased Geometrical Acoustics using Low / High Frequency Reflection Coefficients with Applications to Absorption Measurements KU Leuven
The prediction of sound and noise in everyday environments is of utmost importance for comfort as well as for personal health. Although measurements give invaluable information about the behavior of existing environments, designers and engineers are also in need of predictive models that are both accurate and efficient. These simulations provide detailed analysis before construction or prior to renovations and thus yield a huge return on ...

Single-Sided Ultrasonic Characterization of (Damaged) Composites having Mechanical and/or Geometrical Anisotropy Ghent University
This research investigates the use of ultrasound waves for single-sided non-destructive testing and characterization of composites. The method of interest is the so-called Ultrasonic Polar Scan (UPS), which insonifies the composite from a multitude of oblique incidence angles. The resulting set of data is a representation of the mechanical state of the insonified composite. By coupling experiment to dedicated numerical models, a complete ...
Single-Sided Ultrasonic Characterization of (Damaged) Composites having Mechanical and/or Geometrical Anisotropy Ghent University
The current and next generation composites are designed by combining high strength fibers with a low density matrix (i.e. low weight), in view of exploiting the advantageous of both. The application of these composites in primary components has changed several industries, including aerospace. The reverse side of the medal is their more involved mechanical nature (complex internal reinforcement architecture, layered media ...) as well as their ...
Machine Learning for Genomic Data Fusion KU Leuven
It has been shown that while a single genomic data source might not be sufficiently informative, fusing several complementary genomic data sources delivers more accurate predictions. In this regard, genomic data fusion has garnered much interest across biological research communities. Consequently, finding efficient and effective techniques for fusing heterogeneous biological data sources has gained growing attention over the past few ...
