Sustainable shopping through real-time visualization of product information on mobile devices Unsustainable production practices and excessive consumerism are major drivers of the climate and biodiversity crises, which are two of the most significant challenges of our time. Although more and more people are concerned with the environmental and social impacts of their purchasing habits and … Continue reading EcoShop
Fairness, Bias und Transparenz von Computer Vision Algorithmen Datenbasierte Technologie hat das Ziel, nach gewissen Merkmalen zu diskriminieren, zu klassifizieren und zu unterscheiden. Hierbei muss jedoch zwischen erwünschten und unfairen Formen der Diskriminierung unterschieden werden. In aktuellen und weit verbreiteten Bilddatenbanken wie zum Beispiel dem IMDB Datenset wurde ein geschlechtsspezifischer Bias offengelegt. Das bedeutet, dass … Continue reading FairAlgos
Algorithmic Governance of Care Care work in long-term care (LTC) is considered as a genuine human-centred activity, requiring empathy, emotional investment, physical encounters and intimate, trust-based relations between various care-givers and care-recipients. AI technologies are introduced in this professional field to assist care workers in their daily activities and provide an additional measure of care … Continue reading AlgoCare
This dataset is named MSBin which stands for MultiSpectral Document Binarization. The dataset is dedicated to the (document image) binarization of multispectral images. A description of the dataset is given at https://github.com/hollaus/msbin. The dataset can be downloaded from Zenodo: The dataset is introduced in: Fabian Hollaus, Simon Brenner, Robert Sablatnig: CNN Based Binarization of MultiSpectral … Continue reading MSBin – MultiSpectral Document Binarization
Multimodal Sensor-Lighting System for the Protection of Vulnerable Traffic Participants The reliable machine detection of vulnerable participants in road traffic (pedestrians, two-wheelers) is an important social goal and a demanding technical challenge, which currently remains unresolved; particularly when it comes to poor visibility conditions (night, fog), far distances (>100m) and approaching a vehicle from the … Continue reading SmartProtect
SYMETRIC (SYstematic MEasurement of TRacks and Infrastructure Components) Several railways modernization projects Europe-wide are currently in the planning and rollout phase. These modernizations focus on the replacement of outdated relay-based interlocking blocks by solid state interlocking blocks, as well as the rollout of ETCS Level 2 (European Train Control System). The planning and design of … Continue reading SYMETRIC
Simulation of vehicle interiors for the efficient development of driver/occupant monitoring systems The goal of this project is a cost and time efficient simulation workflow for the development of applications for environmental analysis for the vehicle interior. Our innovative approach simulates complex dynamic vehicle interior scenarios (e.g. generation and animation of 3D person models, materials … Continue reading SyntheticCabin
Machine Learning of motion patterns in the penal system The everyday life of a prison is characterised by aspects of security. A number of structural and organisational measures (prison cell design, video surveillance, …) are designed to reduce the risk of safety-related incidents in prisons and to support the personnel of the correctional system in … Continue reading MaLeStV
Learned Image Compression With more than 85% of all global internet traffic, image and video data make up the majority of information transmitted via the internet. In particular, the growing market of streaming services together with an increase in video quality are making the availability of highly efficient image and video compression methods a necessity … Continue reading aistream
