Vehicle speed monitoring and management of highways is the critical problem of the road in this modern age of growing technology and population. A poor management results in frequent traffic jam, traffic rules violation and fatal road accidents. Using traditional techniques of RADAR, LIDAR and LASAR to address this problem is time-consuming, expensive and tedious. This paper presents an efficient framework to produce a simple, cost efficient and intelligent system for vehicle speed monitoring. The proposed method uses an HD (High Definition) camera mounted on the road side either on a pole or on a traffic signal for recording video frames. On the basis of these frames, a vehicle can be tracked by using radius growing method, and its speed can be calculated by calculating vehicle mask and its displacement in consecutive frames. The method uses pattern recognition, digital image processing and mathematical techniques for vehicle detection, tracking and speed calculation. The validity of the proposed model is proved by testing it on different highways.

Malnutrition is a major public health concern in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Understanding food and nutrient intake across communities, households and individuals is critical to the development of health policies and interventions. To ea se the procedure in conducting large-scale dietary assessments, we propose to implement an intelligent passive food intake assessment system via egocentric cameras particular for households in Ghana and Uganda. Algorithms are first designed to remove redundant images for minimising the storage memory. At run time, deep learning-based semantic segmentation is applied to recognise multi-food types and newly-designed handcrafted features are extracted for further consumed food weight monitoring. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to validate our methods on an in-the-wild dataset captured under the settings which simulate the unique LMIC conditions with participants of Ghanaian and Kenyan origin eating common Ghanaian/Kenyan dishes. To demonstrate the efficacy, experienced dietitians are involved in this research to perform the visual portion size estimation, and their predictions are compared to our proposed method. The promising results have shown that our method is able to reliably monitor food intake and give feedback on users eating behaviour which provides guidance for dietitians in regular dietary assessment.
Partially Detected Intelligent Traffic Signal Control (PD-ITSC) systems that can optimize traffic signals based on limited detected information could be a cost-efficient solution for mitigating traffic congestion in the future. In this paper, we focu s on a particular problem in PD-ITSC - adaptation to changing environments. To this end, we investigate different reinforcement learning algorithms, including Q-learning, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C), and Actor-Critic with Kronecker-Factored Trust Region (ACKTR). Our findings suggest that RL algorithms can find optimal strategies under partial vehicle detection; however, policy-based algorithms can adapt to changing environments more efficiently than value-based algorithms. We use these findings to draw conclusions about the value of different models for PD-ITSC systems.
Traffic management systems capture tremendous video data and leverage advances in video processing to detect and monitor traffic incidents. The collected data are traditionally forwarded to the traffic management center (TMC) for in-depth analysis an d may thus exacerbate the network paths to the TMC. To alleviate such bottlenecks, we propose to utilize edge computing by equipping edge nodes that are close to cameras with computing resources (e.g. cloudlets). A cloudlet, with limited computing resources as compared to TMC, provides limited video processing capabilities. In this paper, we focus on two common traffic monitoring tasks, congestion detection, and speed detection, and propose a two-tier edge computing based model that takes into account of both the limited computing capability in cloudlets and the unstable network condition to the TMC. Our solution utilizes two algorithms for each task, one implemented at the edge and the other one at the TMC, which are designed with the consideration of different computing resources. While the TMC provides strong computation power, the video quality it receives depends on the underlying network conditions. On the other hand, the edge processes very high-quality video but with limited computing resources. Our model captures this trade-off. We evaluate the performance of the proposed two-tier model as well as the traffic monitoring algorithms via test-bed experiments under different weather as well as network conditions and show that our proposed hybrid edge-cloud solution outperforms both the cloud-only and edge-only solutions.
In the context of building an intelligent tutoring system (ITS), which improves student learning outcomes by intervention, we set out to improve prediction of student problem outcome. In essence, we want to predict the outcome of a student answering a problem in an ITS from a video feed by analyzing their face and gestures. For this, we present a novel transfer learning facial affect representation and a user-personalized training scheme that unlocks the potential of this representation. We model the temporal structure of video sequences of students solving math problems using a recurrent neural network architecture. Additionally, we extend the largest dataset of student interactions with an intelligent online math tutor by a factor of two. Our final model, coined ATL-BP (Affect Transfer Learning for Behavior Prediction) achieves an increase in mean F-score over state-of-the-art of 45% on this new dataset in the general case and 50% in a more challenging leave-users-out experimental setting when we use a user-personalized training scheme.
We present an IoT-based intelligent bed sensor system that collects and analyses respiration-associated signals for unobtrusive monitoring in the home, hospitals and care units. A contactless device is used, which contains four load sensors mounted u nder the bed and one data processing unit (data logger). Various machine learning methods are applied to the data streamed from the data logger to detect the Respiratory Rate (RR). We have implemented Support Vector Machine (SVM) and also Neural Network (NN)-based pattern recognition methods, which are combined with either peak detection or Hilbert transform for robust RR calculation. Experimental results show that our methods could effectively extract RR using the data collected by contactless bed sensors. The proposed methods are robust to outliers and noise, which are caused by body movements. The monitoring system provides a flexible and scalable way for continuous and remote monitoring of sleep, movement and weight using the embedded sensors.
