Deep learning has revolutionized the field of computer vision, a success largely attributable to the growing size of models, datasets, and computational power.
Simultaneously, a critical pain point arises as several computer vision applications are deploye ...
This article explores the conception, design, and implementation of a hypertextual map that we call hypermap. Using Giovanni Nolli's 1748 map of the city of Rome as a backbone, we conducted an experiment based on one of the routes defined by Giuseppe Vasi' ...
3D reconstruction of deformable (or non-rigid) scenes from a set of monocular 2D image observations is a long-standing and actively researched area of computer vision and graphics. It is an ill-posed inverse problem, since-without additional prior assumpti ...
Forecasting is a capability inherent in humans when navigating. Humans routinely plan their paths, considering the potential future movements of those around them. Similarly, to achieve comparable sophistication and safety, autonomous systems must embrace ...
Megapixel single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays have been developed recently, opening up the possibility of deploying SPADs as general-purpose passive cameras for photography and computer vision. However, most previous work on SPADs has been limited ...
In Brussels today we can observe a proliferation of initiatives that reject the utilitarian framework which society, since industrialisation, has imposed upon the notion of work. Architects of their own lives, their adherents approach work as an existentia ...
Millions of digital images are captured by imaging devices on a daily basis. The way imaging devices operate follows an integral process from which the information of the original scene needs to be estimated. The estimation is done by inverting the integra ...
Art and culture have a renewed role in the contemporary city. Theories relative to the creative class, the creative economy and the creative city are both descriptive and prescriptive; they focus on the role of culture in the urban production process and, ...
Artists often take advantage of the limitations of the human visual system to create art that provides new experiences for the observers. Similarly, in this thesis, we explore new computational artistic compositions that create new visual experiences by re ...
We introduce OPTIK, a new practical design pattern for designing and implementing fast and scalable concurrent data structures. OPTIK relies on the commonly-used technique of version numbers for detecting conflicting concurrent operations. We show how to i ...
