Egocentric Vision-based Future Vehicle Localization for Intelligent Driving Assistance Systems
Predicting the future location of vehicles is essential for safety-critical
applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous
driving. This paper introduces a novel approach to simultaneously predict both
the location and scale of target vehicles in the first-person (egocentric) view
of an ego-vehicle. We present a multi-stream recurrent neural network (RNN)
encoder-decoder model that separately captures both object location and scale
and pixel-level observations for future vehicle localization. We show that
incorporating dense optical flow improves prediction results significantly
since it captures information about motion as well as appearance change. We
also find that explicitly modeling future motion of the ego-vehicle improves
the prediction accuracy, which could be especially beneficial in intelligent
and automated vehicles that have motion planning capability. To evaluate the
performance of our approach, we present a new dataset of first-person videos
collected from a variety of scenarios at road intersections, which are
particularly challenging moments for prediction because vehicle trajectories
are diverse and dynamic.Comment: To appear on ICRA 201
Video analytics system for surveillance videos
Developing an intelligent inspection system that can enhance the public safety is challenging. An efficient video analytics system can help monitor unusual events and mitigate possible damage or loss. This thesis aims to analyze surveillance video data, report abnormal activities and retrieve corresponding video clips. The surveillance video dataset used in this thesis is derived from ALERT Dataset, a collection of surveillance videos at airport security checkpoints.
The video analytics system in this thesis can be thought as a pipelined process. The system takes the surveillance video as input, and passes it through a series of processing such as object detection, multi-object tracking, person-bin association and re-identification. In the end, we can obtain trajectories of passengers and baggage in the surveillance videos. Abnormal events like taking away other's belongings will be detected and trigger the alarm automatically. The system could also retrieve the corresponding video clips based on user-defined query
