Trajectory Mapping in Physical and Topical Spaces
(2023)
In this dissertation, two different types of trajectories are investigated. In the engfirst part of this work, we investigate methods for the analysis of physical trajectories. We focus on scenarios, in which signal strengths ofWiFi access points are recorded. In detail, they are recorded through smartphone devices by people moving through a building. By means of theWiFi signal strengths, (physical) trajectories of humans are reconstructed, which reflect the locations visited over time. Accurate localization based ...

Orometry, Intrinsic Dimensionality and Learning: Novel Insights into Network Data
(2023-11)
Today, networks are an integral part of our world. Let it be real-life friendship networks or social connections that are based on social media. In this thesis, we contribute to the understanding of networks by studying networks from three different perspectives. First, we adapt notions and concepts from orometry to metric data and networks to gain novel insights from a local perspective. Specifically, we study measures of local outstandingness and propose concepts to derive small hierarchies from larger networks. ...

Context Awareness for Smartphone-Based Cooperative VRU Collision Avoidance
(2024)
Nach Angaben der Weltgesundheitsorganisation sterben weltweit noch immer jährlich rund 1,35 Millionen Menschen bei Verkehrsunfällen. Ungefähr 54% dieser Todesfälle ereignen sich unter ungeschützten Verkehrsteilnehmern wie Fußgängern, Radfahrern und Motorradfahrern. Fußgänger und Radfahrer machen dabei zusammen rund 26% aller Verkehrstoten aus. Im Gegensatz zu fahrzeugbasierten Kollisionsvermeidungssystemen setzen kooperative Systeme die Verwendung von mobilen Geräten wie Smartphones zur kontinuierlichen Erfassung von ...

Effektive Integration von heterogenen Produktkatalogen im schnelllebigen Umfeld des E-Commerce
(2023)
Online-Marktplätze generieren von Jahr zu Jahr einen größeren Anteil des Einzelhandelsumsatzes. Ein wichtiger Faktor für den Erfolg von Online-Marktplätzen ist die korrekte Darstellung der Produktdaten für ihre Kunden. Diese Daten werden häufig von Zulieferern in Form von Produktkatalogen zur Verfügung gestellt, die in den Online-Marktplatz integriert werden müssen. Um dies zu erreichen, sind insbesondere kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen häufig auf aufwändige manuelle Arbeitsschritte bei der Datenintegration ...

Patterns of Practice - Interdisciplinary Negotiation of Cultural Complexity through Practice-Based Methods in Informatics
(2022)
Following the principle of knowing through making, this thesis discusses development and application of a practice-based methodology for construction of digital artefacts within
cultural contexts. It addresses the epistemological diversity and complexity inhering within interdisciplinary projects, suggesting methodological devices able to navigate the variegated disciplinary landscape present within respective development projects. The conceptual pair complexity/complication acts as theoretical point of reference ...

Object Detection for Automotive Radar Perception
(2024)
Automated vehicles are among the biggest trends in the automotive industry. The desired level of automation slowly progresses from advanced driver assistance system functions to fully autonomous driving. Excellent environmental perception is a critical requirement in this development. This thesis focuses on solutions to the challenges that come with the utilization of automotive radar systems for road user recognition. Therefore, several machine learning techniques are applied and compared to detect and classify ...

Algorithms for Emotion Recognition
(2023)
Technological advancements have increasingly facilitated emotion recognition through physiological sensors integrated into intelligent devices, such as earables and wristbands. People commonly wear these devices in their everyday lives (i.e., in the wild). Patterns can be extracted from various physiological signals, enabling the recognition of emotions. This capability can be integrated into diverse applications, such as attention management systems, human-robot interaction, and stress detection, enhancing them to ...
