The paper addresses the specific issues of potential limited on-board computational ... -
A graph-theoretical approach to fusing teachers' opinions about learning outcomes in higher education programmes
Guggedal, Carsten Berge (Master thesis, 2021)Et høyere utdanningsprogram kan bli modellert som en graf hvor noder kan representere fag, emner, teamer eller sub-temaer innen et program, og hvor kantene representerer potensielle relasjoner mellom dem. Slike grafer kan ... -
A Machine Learning Approach to Support the Analysis of Climate-Driven Natural Disaster Risk
Salte Hovstad, Janna; Ruth Skeide, Mathilde (Master thesis, 2021)Klimaendringer har bidratt til at naturkatastrofer har opptrådt med en økende hyppighet og alvorlighetsgrad de siste årene, og den økende trenden forventes å fortsette og eskalere. Høyere havtemperaturer øker sannsynligheten ... -

A side-scan sonar based simultaneous localization and mapping pipeline for underwater vehicles
Haraldstad, Vegard (Master thesis, 2023)Det enorme og uutforskede havet inneholder betydelige potensielle ressurser. Imidlertid krever bærekraftig og miljøvennlig utnyttelse av disse en dypere forståelse av havets økosystem. Fremskritt innen roboters autonome ... -
Analysis and Prediction of Aluminium Fluoride Addition in Aluminium Electrolysis Production Process
Løvendahl, Ingvild (Master thesis, 2024)Aluminium er et viktig metall som brukes i ulike produkter og industrier på grunn av sine unike egenskaper, som lav vekt, høy korrosjonsmotstand og høy ledningsevne. Imidlertid forekommer ikke aluminium naturlig i ren form ... -
Analysis of Participants’ Feedback on a control-themed Advent calendar
Knorn, Steffi; Sanchez, Helem; Rotondo, Damiano; Varagnolo, Damiano; Guzman, Jose Luis; Lichtenberg, Gerwald; Stoica, Cristina; Visioli, Antonio (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In 2023, a group of control academics joined to create a control themed advent calendar, which was open for participants from several European universities. A survey was used to collect participants’ feedback at the end ... -
Automated Lithology Classification Employing Whole Core CT-Scans
Chawshin, Kurdistan (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:316, Doctoral thesis, 2021)This thesis evaluates the application of artificial intelligence to detect rock properties from whole core computed tomography (CT) scan images of wells on the Norwegian continental shelf. Whole core CT-scan images provide ... -
Automated porosity estimation using CT-scans of extracted core data
Chawshin, Kurdistan; Berg, Carl Fredrik; Varagnolo, Damiano; Lopez, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Estimation of porosity at a millimeter scale would be an order of magnitude finer resolution than traditional logging techniques. This enables proper description of reservoirs with thin layers and fine scale heterogeneities. ... -
Automatic Penalty Parameter Selection for the Distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers
Andreassen, Tor Kristian Ertsvik (Master thesis, 2023)Distribuerte optimaliseringsalgoritmer har blitt populære, delvis på grunn av den økende utbredelsen av innvevde systemer som kan kommunisere. En slik algoritme er Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers. En utfordring ... -
