Propositions
1. An effective multiple object tracking method for associating the observations must dynamically and adaptively combine motion and appearance features. (Chapter 3)
2. Image data alone is insufficient for internal quality estimation, but can augment other information to make predictions for individual fruits. (Chapter 4)
3. The color spectrum serves as a universal criterion for fruit maturity, offering a reliable and transferable method for evaluation by both humans and robots. (Chapter 5)
4. Training a model using the regret of its decisions leads to an appropriate level of conservatism. (Chapter 6)
5. A research project is like a Lego set: only a few bricks are visible, while a larger,
carefully arranged structure supports it.
6. Developing methods for treating a spherical cow is important; however, tailoring these for polygonal or real cows holds equal or greater significance.
7. If we need to categorize based on partial observation or estimation with uncertainty, we have to learn to accept the error.
8. PhD memes are the antidote to the impostor syndrome.
9. Cat propositions are neither opposable nor defendable, and thus not approvable.
10. In the journey of pursuing a PhD, one must have an addiction, among which sports is the healthiest option.
These propositions are regarded as opposable and defendable, and have been approved as such by the promotors Prof.dr. M. M. de Weerdt, and Dr. T. Abeel.
