Abstract
This report is the result of a student exchange project between Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and the Czech Technical University in Prague (CVUT). Due to existing good contacts between the computer science departments of these two universities I was able to spend eight weeks in Prague at the Department of Cybernetics . There, I was located at a research unit specialized in computer vision, image processing and pattern recognition, called Center for Machine Perception (CMP). I participated in an ongoing project that targets on Inspecting Sewerage systems and Image Analysis by Computer (ISAAC). During my stay I was able to see a lot of new and interesting technologies in which the computer vision lab specializes. The project I worked on was quite interesting and challenging and I was able to extend my knowledge in a lot of areas. Besides spending time at the university I got to see a lot of beautiful historical buildings, landscapes and a lot of interesting aspects of the Czech culture. I would like to thank prof. Vaclav Hlavac, drs. dr. Leon Rothkrantz, ir. Vladimir Smutney and my colleagues at the lab for the opportunity and help offered. I would also like to thank the CVUT and TU Delft for financial support offered for travel expenses and accommodation. One unexpected aspect of the last week of my stay was a mayor flooding that struck the Czech Republic. The water of the river Vltava, running through the center of Prague, rose an incredible 8 meters and caused a lot of damage and grief. As a result bridges and public transport were closed down and I was unable to reach university during that time. As a side effect the final stage of gathering results was not properly conducted as will get clear in chapter seven. I would like to express my feelings...
