Flerplansbilder används för att rendera bilder av 3D scener från nya vyer. I detta arbete gör vi ett djupdyk ner i flerplansbilder för att undersöka hur vi kan justera avståndet mellan lagren, samt dess antal för att rendera bättre bilder och minska deras filstorlek.Image-based rendering for view synthesis is a field within computer vision that has seen a growing number of research activity within the past few years, much due to deep learning techniques emerging, allowing researchers to re-format view synthesis as a learning problem. The multiplane image (MPI) is a recently proposed learning-based layered 3D representation, created from one or a few input ima

Despite the enormous and ever-increasing amount of photographs, and their importance as historical source material, Sweden has never had any national plan for the preservation of this cultural heritage. And there is not longer any public institution, or institutions, that has a central and advisory role in regards to photography in general. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge

In light of the revised 2019 proposals constituting the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book, which amend the third Basel Accord, expected shortfall is set to replace value at risk as the risk measure dictating banks' capital reserving requirements for exposure to market risk. This paper examines how best to accurately estimate expected shortfall from a regulatory perspective by carrying out

Svenska hästar rankas som bland de bästa i världen och hästnäringen omsätter mer än 72 miljarder kronor per år. Beroende på i vilken roll säljaren agerar så blir olika lagar tillämpliga vid köp av häst. Är säljaren en näringsidkare hamnar man i konsumentköplagen, medan om den är en privatperson så blir köplagen tillämplig. Beroende på vilken lag man hamnar i kan utfallet vid en felbedömning se oliSwedish horses are amongst the top in the world and the revenue of the industry is over 72 billion Swedish crowns per year. Depending on the role the seller is acting as, different laws will apply. If the seller is an entrepreneur, Consumer Sales Act will apply, but if it’s a private person The Sale of Goods act will be applicable. Depending on which law you apply, the outcome could be different.

Batteriet uppfans för över 200 år sen men det är under det senaste deceniet vi har åskådat en storskalig utökning av dess tillverkning, i takt med den globala elektrifieringen. Efterfrågan på batterier förväntas öka med 22-30% årligen till 2030 vilket sätter stor press på industrin att utöka produktionskapaciteten. Men stora faror kan uppstå om tillverkningsprocesserna designas med bristande kvaliThis master thesis explores the mechanisms and optimization strategies of a pneumatic conveying system. By investigating the impact of process parameters on power consumption and erosion rate, the aim was to provide valuable insights for system design and operation. The research combines theoretical considerations, CFD simulations, and numerical calculations to analyse the behaviour of the system

During the COVID-19 pandemic governments worldwide went into lockdown to stop the spread of the virus. Lockdown severely challenged the preconditions assumed necessary for the development and retention of a sense of belonging.
