Detecting Anomalies and Obstacles in Road Scenes

We address the problem of segmenting anomalies and unusual obstacles in road scenes for the purpose of self-driving safety. The objects in question are not present in the common training sets as it is not feasible to collect and annotate examples for every ...

Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions

Tatiana Maillard

The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...

Femtosecond laser-shockwave induced densification in fused silica

Yves Bellouard, Pieter Vlugter, Arunkrishnan Radhakrishnan, Julien Gilles Edgar Gateau

A tightly focused femtosecond laser-beam in the non-ablative regime can induce a shockwave sufficiently intense to reach local pressures in the giga-Pascal range or more. In a single beam configuration, the location of the highest-pressure zone is nested w ...

Calibration of ground surface albedo models

Christophe Ballif, Pierre-Jean Alet, Arttu Matias Tuomiranta

The emergence of bifacial photovoltaics as a serious option for large-scale power generation makes the accuracy of the in-situ estimation of ground surface albedo increasingly critical. Recent studies have evaluated the performance of different models but ...

Use of space analog missions as an educational tool in primary schools

Volker Gass

Space exploration is a field that inspires a wide range of people, from children to university students, including the general public. With a return to the Moon planned for 2024 and the rapid expansion of the private industry, educating the next generation ...

Evidence of extensive lunar crust formation in impact melt sheets 4,330 Myr ago

Cyril Cayron

Accurately constraining the formation and evolution of the lunar magnesian suite is key to understanding the earliest periods of magmatic crustal building that followed accretion and primordial differentiation of the Moon. However, the origin and evolution ...

Sun-synchronous repeat ground tracks and other useful orbits for future space missions

Sun Hee Kim, Luzius Gregor Kronig

The development of oceanography and meteorology has greatly benefited from satellite-based data of Earth's atmosphere and ocean. Traditional Earth observation missions have utilised Sun-synchronous orbits with repeat ground tracks due to their advantages i ...

Decoupling the role of inertia, friction and cohesion in dense granular avalanche pressure build‐up on obstacles

Christophe Ancey, Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Michael Lukas Kyburz

Understanding the physical processes involved in snow avalanche‐obstacle interaction is essential to be able to estimate the pressure exerted on structures. Although avalanche impact pressure has been measured in field experiments for decades, the underlyi ...

A new method to determine multi-angular reflectance factor from lightweight multispectral cameras with sky sensor in a target-less workflow applicable to UAV

Manuel Simon Paul Cubero-Castan, Christoph Strecha, Dai Shi

A new physically based method to estimate hemispheric-directional reflectance factor (HDRF) from lightweight multispectral cameras that have a downwelling irradiance sensor is presented. It combines radiometry wilh photogrammetric computer vision to derive ...

Mechanism suppressing charge recombination at iodine defects in CH3NH3PbI3 by polaron formation

Alfredo Pasquarello, Francesco Ambrosio, Julia Anna Wiktor

Metal-halide perovskites exhibit high efficiencies in photovoltaic applications and low recombination rates, despite the high concentrations of intrinsic defects. We here study the hole trapping at the negative iodine interstitial, which corresponds to the ...
