      Timmermann, Volkmar; Beachell, Andreas Myki; Brurberg, May Bente; Børja, Isabella; Clarke, Nicholas; Fløistad, Inger; Hietala, Ari Mikko; Hylen, Gro; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Nordbakken, Jørn-Frode; Pettersson, Martin; Solberg, Sverre; Solheim, Halvor; Talgø, Venche; Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Økland, Bjørn; Aas, Wenche (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021-10-25)
      Skogens helsetilstand påvirkes i stor grad av klima og værforhold, enten direkte ved tørke, frost og vind, eller indirekte ved at klimaet påvirker omfanget av soppsykdommer og insektangrep. Klimaendringene og den forventede økningen i klimarelaterte skogskader gir store utfordringer for forvaltningen av framtidas skogressurser. Det samme gjør invaderende skadegjørere, både allerede etablerte arter ...

    • Preliminary Hazard Analysis for UAV-assisted Bridge Inspection 

      Ayele, Yonas Zewdu; Ashrafi, Behrooz (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has found its way into a number of civilian applications in the last 20 years, predominantly due to lower costs and tangible scientific improvements. In its application to structural bridge inspection, UAVs provide two main functions. The first, being the most common, detects damage through visual sensors. The 2D imagery data can be used to quickly ...

Each group had to agree upon at least three ...
    • Machine Learning-based Classification, Detection, and Segmentation of Medical Images 

      Jha, Debesh (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-01-21)
      Gastrointestinal tract (GI) cancers are among the most common types of cancers worldwide. In particular, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most lethal in terms of number of incidences and mortality (third most common cause of cancer and the second common cause of cancer-related deaths). Colonoscopy is the gold standard for screening patients for CRC. During the colonoscopy, gastroenterologists examine ...
