Driver Distraction Identification with an Ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 1.25 million deaths yearly due
to road traffic accidents worldwide and the number has been continuously
increasing over the last few years. Nearly fifth of these accidents are caused
by distracted drivers. Existing work of distracted driver detection is
concerned with a small set of distractions (mostly, cell phone usage).
Unreliable ad-hoc methods are often used.In this paper, we present the first
publicly available dataset for driver distraction identification with more
distraction postures than existing alternatives. In addition, we propose a
reliable deep learning-based solution that achieves a 90% accuracy. The system
consists of a genetically-weighted ensemble of convolutional neural networks,
we show that a weighted ensemble of classifiers using a genetic algorithm
yields in a better classification confidence. We also study the effect of
different visual elements in distraction detection by means of face and hand
localizations, and skin segmentation. Finally, we present a thinned version of
our ensemble that could achieve 84.64% classification accuracy and operate in a
real-time environment.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1706.0949
Big data analytics:Computational intelligence techniques and application areas
Big Data has significant impact in developing functional smart cities and supporting modern societies. In this paper, we investigate the importance of Big Data in modern life and economy, and discuss challenges arising from Big Data utilization. Different computational intelligence techniques have been considered as tools for Big Data analytics. We also explore the powerful combination of Big Data and Computational Intelligence (CI) and identify a number of areas, where novel applications in real world smart city problems can be developed by utilizing these powerful tools and techniques. We present a case study for intelligent transportation in the context of a smart city, and a novel data modelling methodology based on a biologically inspired universal generative modelling approach called Hierarchical Spatial-Temporal State Machine (HSTSM). We further discuss various implications of policy, protection, valuation and commercialization related to Big Data, its applications and deployment
