Datorseende blir allt bättre, men med dess precision tillkommer en beräkningskostnad. Detta arbete undersöker hur man kan använda svagare men fler datorer, exempelvis kameror, för att implementera dagens kraftfulla algoritmer.This document describes the methods and results of our Master’s Thesis, car- ried out at Axis Communications AB. A central problem with deep neural networks is that they contain a large num- ber of parameters and heavy computations. To cope with this, our idea was to split the network into chunks large enough that they require their own core, yet small enough to not violate our memory constraints.

Tidigare studier har visat på att de geofysiska metoderna elektrisk resistivitet tomografi (ERT) och tidsdomän inducerad polarisation (IP) är användbara verktyg för att detektera non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL). Rapsolja, som är en hydrofob organisk förening med lägre densitet än vatten, har använts i ett laboratorie-försök för att utvärdera användbarheten av ERT och IP för att detektera spridninPrevious studies have shown that the geophysical methods electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and time domain induced polarization (IP) are appropriate tools to detect non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL). Rapeseed oil, hydrophobic organic compound with a lower density than water, was used in a laboratory experiment to evalu-ate the usefulness of ERT and IP to detect NAPL-contaminants in the enviro
