The method is used in the forecast of railway passenger flow during the spring festival period of 2004. Comparing with the existing approaches that do not consider the spatial influence, our approach has better forecast accuracy.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The single used sensor is an on-board frontal monocular monochromic camera. The novelty is to introduce redundancy by using several (two in this paper) independent algorithms. By combining their outputs together, we obtain more reliable results as well as a confidence value about the reliability of the results. When the confidence value is low, an initialization of the algorithms is performed to avoid false detection. The first algorithm computes longitudinal-coherent results, whereas the second algorithm computes lateral-coherent results. First, each algorithm is presented and then the way in which their outputs are combined is described. We also discuss how the two algorithms interact together. Then, experiments in a real-time context underline the improvements provided by this approach and show that results are relevant.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Methods for recognition and tracking of the human face are expected to be applied in security systems and in the field of ITS (intelligent transportation systems). This study was performed to construct a detection system capable of recognizing multiple people's faces in real time. We employed a hybrid GA (genetic algorithm) based on selective attention, which is the human visual function used to reduce processing load, to search for the position of a face in input images. The hybrid GA used random searching as a rough, preliminary search of the area, then used an improved GA to carefully search the target possibilities. These methods were combined by grouping to allow simultaneous detection of multiple faces in input images in real time. We confirmed the effectiveness of our proposed detection system by experiments involving detection of multiple targets.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Due to the high mobility of vehicles, the topology of an IVC network can change rapidly and thus an established routing path can easily break. One reason for path breakage is that a vehicle moves out of the wireless transmission range of its previous or next vehicle on the path causing a wireless hop of the path to break. On highways, however, due to lane-changing and car-following among vehicles, such a broken hop may later become reconnected and cause the path to become reconnected as well. We use several vehicle mobility traces generated by a microscopic traffic simulator to answer the following question - how possible a broken path may later become reconnected if the routing protocol is willing to give it some time to recover before switching to another path. Our finding shows that the path-reconnection possibility is very tiny and it is not worth waiting for such an event to occur.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The computation model was developed based upon a perception principle: visual feature partitioning and grouping. In the method, perceptual edge features are extracted and classified into generic edge tokens (GETs) using edge tracking and partitioning on the fly. GETs are perceptually distinctive features of lines and curve segments. Various structures and patterns of GETs can be grouped in terms of the rules of perceptual organization laws. GETs are descriptive and therefore can be manipulated qualitatively. For each consecutive image pair, motion GETs (MGETs) are segmented by directly subtracting the GETs extracted in the first image from the same locations in the second image, in that no explicit GET pair matching is needed. The MGETs are then grouped into clusters based on selected rules and domain knowledge of the objects. The motion clusters are evaluated using the measure of motion persistence (over multi-frames) for eliminating unstable data, i.e. noises. Two result demonstrations include road mark following and vehicle tracking.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

This four part process consists of the following steps: (1) an intensity characteristic model of the transportation asset is learned during a training phase. (2) During the foreground object segmentation phase, objects are segmented based on pixel characteristics that vary substantially from those embodied in the intensity characteristic model. (3) Segmented objects that match certain morphological, topological, and/or geometric constraints are flagged as being candidates for further (temporal) processing.

The binary foreground region of each component is projected onto the axis perpendicular to its major axis to obtain a vertical projection histogram from which shadows can be detected, extracted and suppressed. Information about the size and coordinates of each component is then utilized to compute the number of people in the scene.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Railway infrastructure monitoring is a particular application context in which the periodical inspection of rail rolling plane is required. Usually the inspection of the rail is operated manually. A trained human operator walks along the track, searching for visual anomalies. Actually, the described monitoring ways are not more acceptable for their slowness and for the lack of objectivity. In fact, the results are constrained to the ability of the observer to recognize critical situations. This paper presents a vision-based technique to detect, automatically, the presence or absence of the fastening bolts that fix the rails to the sleepers. The inspection system acquires images by a digital line scan camera installed under a train. The images are pre-processed by using wavelet transform with Haar and Daubechies approximation coefficients. We have used two pre-processing techniques in order to reduce the computational time and speed up the whole fastening bolt detecting process. These coefficients are supplied as input to two different neural networks, in this way the first neural network identify the fastening bolt candidates and the second neural network validates the recognition process of the bolt. The final detecting system has been applied to a long sequence of real images showing a high reliability, robustness and good performance in term of computational speed.","PeriodicalId":239269,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
