Description Developing automated tools for sustainable film preservation of extensive historical film collections assumes an understanding of fundamental cinematographic settings. In order to be able to investigate new approaches to detect and classify cinematographic settings, this paper proposes a novel large-scale historical film dataset with cinematographic annotations (HISTORIAN), i.e., shot boundaries, shot types, camera movements. … Continue reading HISTORIAN: a large-scale HISTORIcal film dataset with cinematographic ANnotation →
The project focuses on Event Camera based Visual Odometry, mainly for robot localization. Unlike conventional frame cameras that output images based on a fixed frame rate, each pixel of an event camera independently detects relative changes in luminosity and outputs event data asynchronously. It has the advantage of high temporal accuracy, high pixel bandwidth, and … Continue reading Event-based and frame-based binocular visual odometry system →
Das österreichische Filmmuseum besitzt umfangreiche Bestände an Filmen, die von Privatpersonen zwischen den 1920er und den 1990er Jahren in Wien gedreht wurden und deren Leben und Ihre Umgebung auf analogem Film festhalten. Diese Filmdokumente stellen eine einzigartige Quelle der Zeitgeschichte und Alltagskultur dar, die bis jetzt nur in Ansätzen wissenschaftlich, historisch und inhaltlich erschlossen ist. … Continue reading Abenteuer Alltag →
PhysAgeNet is a EU COST Action which undertakes coordinated research collaboration at European level. Its aim is to to establish a sustainable network that will foster evidence-based research and practice of physical activity in older adults and will enhance integration of innovative ICT solutions based on open data consolidated research information, in order to promote … Continue reading PhysAgeNet →
The use of robots in the care sector is a frequently discussed future scenario that brings up different expectations. The percentage of older people will increase significantly in the future. On one hand, there is hope that robots could support humans in living an independent life in their familiar surroundings until old age. On the … Continue reading CaringRobots/RoboticCare →
Description Human behavioral analysis applications in the fields of ambient assisted living (AAL) and human security monitoring require continuous video analysis of individuals. Although intelligent systems deployed in these areas are intended to have a positive impact on the persons involved, subsequent continuous monitoring naturally raises ethical concerns and questions about privacy implications. To address these … Continue reading MIPT Dataset →

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 →
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 →
