This thesis is the result of a work for Saab Automobile AB in Trollhättan, and more specifically the Department of under hood design. The project has been to Lund University and finishes my education in Technical Design. Supervisor at the company who has assisted me with much help is Andreas Barbunopulos and supervisors at the school have been Ola Carlquist and Karl-Axel Andersson. The purpose
When a video sequence is recorded in low-light conditions, the image often become noisy. Standard methods for noise reduction have difficulties with motion. But the interesting parts in a video is often the ones that are moving, for instance a burglar captured in a surveillance video. One approach for denoising video sequences is to use temporal filtering controlled by optical flow, which describ
The eminent dilemma around the relationship between the increasing world population, the need of new fuel sources and environment issues has raised great awareness in the last decades. The European Parliament has set common goals such as the reduction of the greenhouse gases by 20 % by the year of 2020, followed by the requirement of at least 10 % of the fuel has to be biofuel. An adjacent issue i
This Master Thesis will cover the development of the mechanics and design aspects for a new product innovation made for IPsense AB (at Lund Technical University and Ingvar Kamprad Design Center in Lund, Sweden). Due to the sensitivity of the project some information has been left out. The product is part of an IP-based network concept developed for analyzing sound in real time. The total concept
The classification of toxic comments is a well-researched area with many techniques available. However, effectively managing multi-label categorization still requires a considerable amount of work. In this thesis, we performed a classification experiment on over 200 thousand comments from the Jigsaw toxic comment competition data available on Kaggle. We aimed to optimize a model to identify six di
Killer acquisition is a type of acquisition that allows the acquiring undertaking to curb market competition by preemptively removing a potentially competitive undertaking that would directly compete with the acquiring undertaking. Such an acquisition allows the acquiring undertaking to continue being the dominant provider, while consumers experience a decrease in consumer welfare. This type
Extant literature has not explored the establishment of green trust through website design elements which communicate sustainability, within the context of international online fashion firms. This study contributes to this topic by exploring how green trust is generated through sustainability-communicating website design elements. To accomplish this, it examines literature that is previously cross
This study investigates preschool staff's experiences assessing the need for a report of concern, their knowledge of legislation and signs of child maltreatment, and their collaboration with social services. By examining these aspects, the study aims to identify obstacles and opportunities for improving collaboration between preschools and social services. Qualitative, semi-structured intervie
Distribution as a concept means that a task (for example, data storage or code execution) is parallelized on multiple computers. It goes hand in hand with the concept of big data – extreme amounts of data that can’t be processed by a single computer. Because of this, the most established tools for distributed parallelization is tools that are designed to handle big data. This thesis explores wheth
The focus of this master’s thesis has been getting a six-legged robot to autonomously navigate around a room with obstacles. To make this possible a time-of-flight camera has been implemented in order to map the environment. Two force sensing resistors were also mounted on the front legs to sense if the legs are in contact with the ground. The information from the sensors together with a path plan
Customer segmentation and target analysis are two essential tasks when identifying a company’s customers. To perform these tasks, this thesis develops and applies hybrid data-mining models, integrating clustering and decision trees. The hybrid models are applied to the life-logging camera company Narrative, in order to gain insights into their customer data. From previous research, we found that t
Background Today many organizations convert from being a traditional functional organization to becoming more temporary project-based organizations in order to respond to the changing environment. As a result, project-based organizations have difficulties to learn from within the project and between projects which force project members to “reinvent the wheel” over and over again. If organizations
The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze how the Lund municipality works with crime prevention with youths. To perform the study, we interviewed seven people from five different organizations and authorities with different professions and work assignments in Lund municipality. The people we chose were two social workers, one police commissioner, two fieldworkers, one psychologist and
The options of procreation, reproduction or bringing into existence a child of a particular parentage, including motherhood, are related to the advancement of science. Nowadays it is possible for a woman to become pregnant and afterwards give birth to a child which, by using medical assistance, is actually made from other womans oocyte. The term gestational carriage refers to being pregnant and th
