چکیده

In our previous research, we examined whether minimally trained crowd workers could find, categorize, and assess sidewalk accessibility problems using Google Street View (GSV) images. This poster paper presents a first step towards combining automated methods (e.g., machine visionbased curb ramp detectors) in concert with human computation to improve the overall scalability of our approach.

Exploring Early Solutions for Automatically Identifying Inaccessible Sidewalks in the Physical World using Google Street View

Poorly maintained sidewalks, missing curb ramps, and other obstacles pose considerable accessibility challenges. Although pedestrianand bicycle-oriented maps and associated routing algorithms continue to improve, there has been a lack of work focusing on accessibility. There is currently no way for a user to determine accessible areas of a city prior to travel. In this paper, we explore the use...

Automatic Optic Disc Center and Boundary Detection in Color Fundus Images

Accurately detection of retinal landmarks, like optic disc, is an important step in the computer aided diagnosis frameworks. This paper presents an efficient method for automatic detection of the optic disc’s center and estimating its boundary. The center and initial diameter of optic disc are estimated by employing an ANN classifier. The ANN classifier employs visual features of vessels and th...

Salient regions detection in satellite images using the combination of MSER local features detector and saliency models

Nowadays, due to quality development of satellite images, automatic target detection on these images has been attracted many researchers' attention. Remote-sensing images follow various geospatial targets; these targets are generally man-made and have a distinctive structure from their surrounding areas. Different methods have been developed for automatic target detection.  In most of these met...

A multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images

The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...

Avoiding Confusing Features in Place Recognition

We seek to recognize the place depicted in a query image using a database of “street side” images annotated with geolocation information. This is a challenging task due to changes in scale, viewpoint and lighting between the query and the images in the database. One of the key problems in place recognition is the presence of objects such as trees or road markings, which frequently occur in the ...
