Samtidigt har ledarskap länge fått stort fokus i forskning, medan medarbetarskap börjat få fart under de senaste decennierna. Studier vi

This thesis makes use of a freely available platform based on multi-physics simulations, named WUI-NITY, to model WUI fire evacuation. This simulation platform includes three sub-models addressing fire spread, pedestrian movement and traffic movement allowing the representation of their interaction to produce outputs useful for dynamic vulnerability assessment. The goal of the thesis is to test th

This report aims to compare the plane parameters given by the PlaneRCNN network with those created by using a Structure from Motion (SfM) solution on the same data. Several datasets are used, and the results from PlaneRCNN are evaluated by using the camera matrices from the SfM solution and applying these along with scaling and coordinate transformations.
