Research Projects

Development of a robust and reproducible preprocessing pipeline for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) data
M.Sc. Thesis, University of Copenhagen, Department of Computer Science, January 2022

We developed an open, robust and automated preprocessing pipeline for PET data using existing state-of-the-art neuroimaging software and implemented using Nipype. To test the pipeline for robustness and computational reproducibility, the pipeline was tested on three datasets from different scanners and tracers across different computational environments.

Field Boundary Delineation applied to Danish agriculture
project in practice, University of Copenhagen, Department of Computer Science, January 2021

Avneet Kaur, under the supervision of, Stefan Oehmcke, Kenneth Grogan

Danish parcel delineation is an important task that currently has to be done manually. In this work, we automate this laborious and error-prone process. Based on real data from Danish agriculture, we applied deep learning methods to efficiently detect parcels from freely available satellite images. To that end, we created a complete data pipeline, from data collection over to processing, then building and evaluating the model.
