Hertog, Wim (Date of defense: 2017-06-07)
Rising population numbers place ever increasing demands on energy resources. A large percentage of the worldwide energy production is reserved for the generation of electricity and a significant portion of the electrical ...
Suc, Vincent (Date of defense: 2018-11-07)
In this thesis, we synthesize the development of a new concept of operation of small robotic telescopes operated over the Internet. Our design includes a set of improvements in control algorithmic and hardware of several ...
Tàpias Anton, Montserrat (Date of defense: 2012-06-08)
In this thesis we applied, in a complementary way, techniques of digital image processing and reflectance spectroscopy to perform cover factor (CF) measurements in monochrome openwork fabrics. To evaluate the results ...
Rodríguez Aramendía, Ana (Date of defense: 2023-03-24)
(English) Vision is central to human perception. It emanates from a complex organ, the human eye, starting from photodetection in the retina. However, the quality of the visual experience depends on the anatomical integrity ...
Delpueyo Español, Xana (Date of defense: 2017-11-06)
The incidence of skin cancer in Europe, US and Australia has been rising rapidly. Skin cancer accounts for one in three cancers worldwide and a person has 1:25 chance to develop a melanoma, the most aggressive form. Visual ...
Mestre Ferrer, Clara (Date of defense: 2019-05-24)
Healthy visual function not only relies on good visual acuity. Other systems such as accommodation or binocular vision need to be effective. Binocular vision is the ability of the visual system to coordinate and integrate ...
Domínguez Álvarez, Noemí (Date of defense: 2018-03-15)
In this Ph.D. Thesis, we have developed a new measurement method to measure the contact angle and the surface energy in hydrophobic samples with a device based on confocal technology. This new measurement method incorporates ...
Martínez Verdú, Francisco Miguel (Date of defense: 2001-11-23)
Un dispositivo de captura (escáner o cámara) de imágenes digitales no es un instrumento de medida del color como un espectrofotómetro o un tele-espectrocolorímetro. Aunque codifica la información espectral contenida en una ...
Sánchez Herrero, Eulalia (Date of defense: 2022-01-21)
People with peripheral visual field loss perceive limited information about the environment and present severe problems in achieving successful orientation and mobility. In recent years, virtual and augmented reality systems ...
Herrera Ramírez, Jorge A. (Date of defense: 2014-03-25)
Multispectral systems have several applications and there are different possible configurations in which they can be implemented. Different characteristics make them useful, but the basic one is the access to spectral ...
Pauné i Fabré, Jaume (Date of defense: 2015-11-18)
Myopia is the main cause of vision loss worlwide, with associated ocular pathology risks related to myopia amount. Therefore, interventions directed towards limiting or preventing the progression of myopia are of high ...
Tomàs Corominas, Núria (Date of defense: 2015-11-11)
This work can be framed in the field of computer-aided optical systems design and it is a part of a larger project in which automated processes are studied and implemented aiming to reduce the time span that stands between ...
Argilés Sans, Marc (Date of defense: 2018-07-09)
Intoduction: There is an agreement in the scientific community, which indicates that excessive exposure to digital displays poses implications at a visual level, being ocular dryness and visual fatigue those of greater ...
Bermúdez Porras, Carlos (Date of defense: 2017-04-22)
Stent quality control is a critical process. Coronary stents have to be inspected 100% so no defective stent is implanted into a human body. We have developed an optical non-contact measurement instrument that provides ...
Martínez Marín, Pol (Date of defense: 2023-02-10)
(English) Three-dimensional measurement of roughness and shape of a surface provides information about an object properties through surface parameters. These parameters are defined by international standards and can describe ...
Quevedo i Junyent, Lluïsa (Date of defense: 2007-04-14)
The importance of vision in life is unquestionable. It is because of this that optometry, as a science of vision focused in measurement and analysis of visual function, has been developing techniques and instruments to ...
Rojo Badenas, Pilar (Date of defense: 2015-10-21)
This thesis proposes a method to evaluate and quantify in a precise way the peripheral refraction induced by an ophthalmic lens. The motivation for this work stems from the progression of myopia and its possible causes; ...
Burgos Fernandez, Francisco Javier (Date of defense: 2016-12-19)
Goniochromatic pigments, such as automotive coatings, are known by their appearance changes - especially of colour and visual texture - as a function of the angles of illumination and observation; they are classified as ...
Palomar Mascaró, Fernando-José (Date of defense: 2013-03-04)
Las hemianopsias homónimas se pueden definir como la pérdida absoluta o parcial de la visión en las mitades derechas o izquierdas de los campos visuales de ambos ojos. Los pacientes que sufren un defecto hemianópsico ...
Alterini, Tommaso (Date of defense: 2021-06-25)
Vision loss affects physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing and social life as well. High life expectancy and health policies are translated into an aging population worldwide, which has higher risk of eye’s ...
