van der Wal, R. (author), Carton, E.P. (author), Parent, J.M. (author)Damage containment is one of the key factors for optimising operational readiness of warships after an internal warhead detonation. Ship designers currently have no other option than to rely on state of the art solutions applied in vehicle and personal protection; mainly ballistic composites. These solutions are prone to being traded off during...conference paper 2013

Bouma. H., (author), Dekker, R.J. (author), Schoemaker, R.M. (author), Mohamoud, A.A. (author)This paper aims at the segmentation of seafaring vessels in optical satellite images, which allows an accurate length estimation. In maritime situation awareness, vessel length is an important parameter to classify a vessel. The proposed segmentation system consists of robust foreground-background separation, wake detection and ship-wake...conference paper 2013

Bekers, D.J. (author), Lepelaars, E.S.A.M. (author)Steel ships with a magnetic signature requirement are equipped with a degaussing system to reduce their perceptibility for magnetic influence mines. To be able to reduce the magnetic signature accurately, a proper distribution of coils over the ship is essential. Finding the best distribution of coils is a complex optimisation problem, involving...conference paper 2013
