Vehicle detection has been an important research field for years as there are a lot of valuable applications, ranging from support traffic planners to real-time management. Especially cars in dense urban areas is interest due the high volume and limited space. In city many car-like objects (e.g., dormers) appear which might lead confusion. Additionally, inaccuracy road databases supporting extraction process be handled proper way. This paper describes integrated processing chain utilizes...
Given that ground stationary infrastructures for traffic monitoring are barely able to handle everyday volumes, there is a risk they could fail altogether in situations arising from mass events or disasters. In this work, we present an alternative approach during disaster and events, which based on airborne optical sensor system. With system, image sequences automatically examined board aircraft estimate road information, such as vehicle positions, velocities driving directions. The...

Multi-class vehicle detection from airborne imagery with orientation estimation is an important task in the near and remote vision domains applications traffic monitoring disaster management. In last decade, we have witnessed significant progress object ground imagery, but it still its infancy mostly due to scarcity of diverse large-scale datasets. Despite being a useful tool for different applications, current datasets only partially reflect challenges real-world scenarios. To address this...
The environmental perception of an autonomous vehicle is limited by its physical sensor ranges and algorithmic performance, as well occlusions that degrade understanding ongoing traffic situation. This not only poses a significant threat to safety limits driving speeds, but it can also lead inconvenient maneuvers. Intelligent Infrastructure Systems help alleviate these problems.

Flow, a state of deep task engagement, is associated with optimal experience and well-being, making its detection prolific HCI research focus. While physiological sensors show promise for flow detection, most studies are lab-based. Furthermore, brain sensing during natural work remains unexplored due to the intrusive nature traditional EEG setups. This study addresses this gap by using wearable, around-the-ear observe knowledge work, measuring throughout an entire day. In semi-controlled...
