Image Descriptor Learning for Matching Historical Aerial Images with Present-Day Satellite Images

Status: available Supervisor: Sebastian Zambanini Problem Statement Learning local image descriptors by means of deep convolutional neural nets [1,2] has recently shown to produce stronger features than traditional hand-crafted ones such as SIFT [3]. However, these nets have been trained and evaluated on general scenarios of (wide-basline) object matching. For the DeVisOr project, matching historical … Continue reading Image Descriptor Learning for Matching Historical Aerial Images with Present-Day Satellite Images

Evaluierung von Person Tracking Algorithmen auf Tiefendaten

Status: vergeben Supervisors: Rainer Planinc, Sebastian Zambanini Problemstellung Tiefendaten vereinfachen das Problem des Person Trackings in Videos durch eine deutlichere Unterscheidbarkeit von Vorder- und Hintergund der Szene. In den letzten Jahren wurden zahlreiche Methoden vorgestellt, die aber alle für bestimmte Szenarien gedacht sind und auch dahingehend evaluiert wurden. Es gibt jedoch eine Vielzahl von Parametern, … Continue reading Evaluierung von Person Tracking Algorithmen auf Tiefendaten

Rettet die Bienen – mittels Computer Vision

Status des Praktikums: offen (geplanter Zeitpunkt: März 2016!) Betreuer: Martin Kampel Problemstellung Die Milbe Varroa destructor ist ein Parasit der Honigbiene, saugt Hamolymphe („Bienenblut”) und gilt als Hauptursache für das weltweit auftretende Phänomen des Bienensterbens. Sie ist vollständig an ein Leben im Bienenstock angepasst, vermehrt sich ausschließlich in Bienenbrut und kann ohne Bienenwirte nicht überleben. … Continue reading Rettet die Bienen – mittels Computer Vision

Handwritten Text Recognition

Status: open Supervisor: Markus Diem, Florian Kleber, Stefan Fiel Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) is an open research topic because of the variety of modern, cursive handwriting. The goal – being able to automatically translate handwritten text into machine readable text – is attractive since HTR would render non-digital born documents accessible. The master thesis will … Continue reading Handwritten Text Recognition

Comparison: Fine-Grained-Access Control to Governance Data in Relational Databases

Status: open Supervisor: Alois Paulin Problem Statement Competing technologies address the challenge to provide dynamic multi-stakeholder access tailored to fit the context of the request for data and the identity of the requester. This so-called fine-grained-access control can be utilised for disruptive governance technology allowing for low-level access to governance data. The objective of this study is to identify … Continue reading Comparison: Fine-Grained-Access Control to Governance Data in Relational Databases

Classification System: Directions of e-Governance Research

Status: open Supervisor: Alois Paulin Problem Statement e-Governance research and development activities are targeting an emerging trans-disciplinary field of science, which is yet in its pioneering stages. Technical contributions to this field are challenged by a lack of clarity of research directions and often take a following- rather than a leading role in the development of this field. A clearly structured research … Continue reading Classification System: Directions of e-Governance Research
