Sensors, algorithms, and representations for efficient environment perception

that do not require any action from the drivers for a short period of time. Although these systems are still limited and only reliable in certain situations, it shows the general trend: cars will become more and more autonomous. The reasons why people and companies are eagerly anticipating fully autonomous cars are manifold: self-driving...

Acoustic recognition of motorized vehicles with a moving listener

New measures have to be taken to combat fatalities caused by traffic accidents. Intelligent vehicles have the potential to increase safety, but depend heavily on their automated perception ability.<br/>Acoustic perception, an unused sensing modality in this field, has potential for the detection of nearby vehicles, an ability both human drivers...

The impact of image filters on machine classification and human perception of weather conditions

Nowadays with the growth of social media, users upload millions of photos in different platforms online. Researchers in the field of computer vision devote their time and effort to analyze images in order to gain valuable insight. Data<br/>analysis and classification can be impeded by different factors.

DeepSleep: A sensor-agnostic approach towards modelling a sleep classification system

Sleep is a natural state of our mind and body during which our muscles heal and our memories are consolidated. It is such a habitual phenomenon that we have been viewing it as another ordinary task in our day-to-day life. However, owing to the current fast-paced, technology-driven generation, we are letting ourselves be sleep-deprived, giving...
