Thesis proposals

This page is periodically updated (last update 14 October 2022). Please check for new proposals.

• Theses in collaboration with Eucentre (Project TeamAware)
  The goal of the project is the identification of structural damages in building and civil structure after an earthquake using video acquired by drone. The proposed activities are:
  - 3D model elaboration for the creation of a semi-synthetic dataset containing images of damages to be used to train a neural network
  - Damage detection using deep neural network architectures (e.g., YOLO)
  - Bounding box tracking in a video sequence to filter the results of the detection
  For additional information please contact Marco Piastra or Piercarlo Dondi or Luca Lombardi
  
  
• Theses in collaboration with Université Paris-Saclay (Project ARTEAK)
  The goal of the project is the development of algorithms for the reconstruction of destroyed frescoes. The proposed activities are:
  - Extend the DAFNE dataset (a large collection of hundreds of thousands of images of fresco fragments artificially generated) implementing new type of fragmentation and alterations
  - Development of algorithms for image reconstruction from fragments
  For additional information please contact Piercarlo Dondi or Luca Lombardi or Marco Piastra
  
  
• Theses in collaboration with “Arvedi Laboratory of Non-Invasive Diagnostic” in Cremona
  The project involves the analysis of original manuscripts written by Alessandro Manzoni using multispectral images (visible, IR, UV). The proposed activities are:
  - Image enhancement of faded and smudged pages to improve the readability of writings
  - Remove corrections/deletions to show the underlying text

  - Integrazione dei gesti con l'uso ordinario di tastiera e mouse / Development of interaction paradigms based on the integration of gestures and “ordinary” input tools (mouse, keyboard, etc.)
