Wheat is our most cultivated grain and has been used as human food for thousands of years, but as the population increases, so does the demand for grain. Challenges that we face today are that the amount of cultivable arable land is decreasing, that climate change is affecting crop yields, while people's concerns are growing about the use of chemical pesticides. It is therefore of great intere

Kan spelardetektion på en plan förbättras genom att öka antalet kameror som används för detektionen? Med utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens (AI) och maskininlärning har möjligheterna inom en rad områden ökat markant, exempelvis sportteknologi. Där används AI för att automatiskt detektera spelare på en plan med hjälp av kamerabilder. I det här arbetet undersöks hur en AI-modell kan förbättra dAccurate detection of player positions is essential for sports analysis. Traditional single-camera methods generally suffer from occlusion and diminishing resolution far away. This work proposes using multi-camera Bird's Eye View (BEV) detection to overcome these issues. Synthetically generated data was used to train and test the detection model, which uses images from six cameras placed aroun

Inom byggbranschen ställs det högre och högre krav och fler mål sätts upp för att förbättra miljö- och hållbarhetsarbetet, detta då branschen idag står för en stor del av Sveriges miljöpåverkan. Den främsta anledningen till dess höga belastning på miljön är det genererade avfallet som branschen idag står för ca en tredjedel av det genererade avfallet i landet. En observation som gjorts är att mängHigher demands are being placed and more goals are set up to help improve the environmental and sustainability work in the construction industry. This in order to help minimize the impact on the environment from one of the industries with the highest impact in Sweden today. The main reason for the high strain on the environment is the generated waste, which the construction industry stands for abo

Framväxten av elektronisk handel under 1990-talet ansågs av både OECD och EU skapa såväl förutsättningar för stora vinster för företag som stora utmaningar för skattemyndigheterna. Till sin natur är elektronisk handeln global, omedelbar, utan traditionella gränser och genomförs med relativ anonymitet . Dessa aspekter innebär svårigheter för ett traditionellt skattesystem. Enligt sjätte mervärdesskThe emergence of electronic commerce in the 1990's was acknowledged by both the OECD and the EU to bring about prospects of great profits for businesses as well as huge challenges for fiscal authorities. By its very nature, electronic commerce is global, instantaneous, without traditional borders and conducted with relative anonymity. These aspects make it difficult for a traditional tax syste
