Detecting that pedestrians are present in front of a vehicle is highly desirable to avoid dangerous traffic situations. A novel vision-based system is presented to automatically detect far-away pedestrians with low-resolution cameras mounted in vehicles gi ...
A method for automatic localization of objects in a mask. The method includes building a dictionary or atoms, wherein each atom models the presence of one object at one location and iteratively determining the atom of said dictionary which is best correlat ...
The continuously increasing daily traffic congestions on motorway networks around the world call for innovative control measures that would drastically improve the current traffic conditions. Mainstream traffic flow control (MTFC) is proposed as a novel an ...
Microscopic traffic simulation models have advanced significantly in recent years and are now used extensively around the world for detailed traffic modelling where dynamic operations have to be represented. Whilst extremely powerful, these models can have ...
Interest in microthrusters has grown significantly in the last two decades for possible applications in small satellites and deep space missions. This thesis is motivated by the need of experimental setup for characterization of microthrusters. In the firs ...
Human beings are interested in understanding their environments and the dynamic content that fills their surroundings. For applications ranging from security to marketing, people have installed networks of cameras to capture the dynamic elements of scenes. ...
Automatic vehicle identification (AVI) systems are increasingly used for the collection of traffic data in urban and freeway networks. Several methods have been proposed for the estimation of travel times from AVI data, mainly for freeways. The problem of ...
Poor quality of fingerprint data is one of the major problems concerning latent fingerprint matching in forensic applications. Local quality of fingerprint plays a very important role in this application field to ensure high recognition performance. Al- th ...
Roads right across Europe are becoming more congested and governments and regional authorities are looking for ways to better manage the existing road network. One tool that is being increasingly promoted to tackle the congestion challenge is Road User Cha ...
This paper presents a novel method for modeling of interaction among multiple moving objects to detect traffic accidents. The proposed method to model object interactions is motivated by the motion of water waves responding to moving objects on water surfa ...
