Extrinsic Calibration and Ego-Motion Estimation for Mobile Multi-Sensor Systems
(2018-12-20)
Autonomous robots and vehicles are often equipped with multiple sensors to perform vital tasks such as localization or mapping. The joint system of various sensors with different sensing modalities can often provide better ...
The impact of large-scale land-acquisition in East Africa on poverty reduction and the rural economy: Studies in Ethiopia and Uganda
(2017-02-28)
There is an increasing interest of acquiring farmland abroad, especially following the food price crisis in 2007/08. East Africa is a hotspot of activities, and given the high prevalence of poor people in the area, impacts ...
The Relationship between the Resource Curse and Genuine Savings as an Indicator for Weak Sustainability: Theoretical Background and Empirical Evidence
(2017-07-11)
This dissertation deals with the relationship between the Resource Curse (RC) – the empirically proven paradox that countries with abundant natural resources often show slower economic growth – and a measure for the ...
The Impact of Public Policies on Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
(2017-07-03)
Between 2000 and 2012, 2.3m sq. kilometers of tree cover, equivalent to 6.4 times the size of Germany, were lost globally due to land cover change. Forest loss often comes with significant social and environmental costs. ...

LiDAR-Based Semantic Perception for Autonomous Vehicles
(2022-09-08)
Scene understanding is one of the fundamental building blocks that enable mobile systems to achieve autonomy. It is the process of perceiving, analyzing, and elaborating an interpretation of a 3D dynamic scene ob- served ...
Bee pollinators and pesticides: a toxicogenomics approach to illuminate the basis for selectivity and synergism
(2022-09-15)
Bees are the most important pollinators in many ecosystems including agroecosystems. Reports of declining bee populations in abundance and diversity are therefore alarming. Many factors are involved in the decline of bees ...
Proline mediated drought tolerance of selected barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) introgression lines and characterization of in vivo spike development
(2022-08-31)
The potential yield of barley is likely to decrease in the future due to the prevalence of drought stress in many world regions. In our study, drought stress affected phenology, biomass and other growth traits, and seed ......
Das Ertragspotenzial von Gerste wird in Zukunft wahrscheinlich abnehmen, da in vielen Regionen der Welt Trockenstress vorherrscht. In unserer Studie wirkte sich der Trockenstress auf die Phänologie, die Biomasse und andere ......
