It replaces visual checks with an automatic inspection system. Colour line-scan cameras and a special image acquisition method- the so called spectral image differencing procedure (SIDP- allow the automatic detection of defects on rail surfaces, like flakes, cracks, grooves or break-offs by means of image processing. The system is already used by a rail manufacturer as inline system, but may also be used on testing vehicles. Practice shows that it produces reliable results even for heavily scaled surfaces, which usually pose serious problems to optical inspection systems due to their irregular texture.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114191228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contextual information, if well exploited, should increase robustness and performance. Specifically, contextual knowledge allows for the integration of algorithms performing well only in specific situations, which would otherwise be excluded from a system designed for the general case. Here, we discuss using context in a vision-based system. Contextual evolution of scene parameters is represented as the hidden process of a Hidden Markov Model. Consequently, a Bayesian framework is adopted for all principal elements, including sensor models for specialised algorithms and sensors observing the current context. Our strategy allows re-use of known algorithms, at the same time enabling context-sensitive developments.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126581088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pedestrian road side solid structures are modelled as pictures put on flat walls. In our approach, we use multiple, movable panels for modelling pedestrian walk space area. We adjust an opaque panel to road side solid structures and a map texture on the surface. For small structures such as guardrails, utility poles in the road area, we put these textures on a transparent panel. For estimating the wall position in the image, we use a vertical and horizontal line segment of the walls. We adjust the bottom line of the panel to a line connecting bottom points of vertical line segments of walls. Horizontal line segment of walls are used for constraining a search area. For transparent panel adjusting, we use systematic change in texture elements caused by projection. Our method deals with three types of road shapes, straight roads and intersection (+-shaped roads , T-shaped roads). Experimental results for still images show the effectiveness of the proposed method. It can be applied for a visually impaired system.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114681174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practical situations, flow data may be incomplete, that is, partially missing or unavailable, where few methods could implement forecasting successfully. A method called Sampling Markov Chain is proposed to deal with this circumstance. In this paper, the traffic flow is modeled as a high order Markov Chain; and the transition probability from one state to the other state is approximated by Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) whose parameters are estimated with Competitive Expectation Maximum (CEM) algorithm. The incomplete data in forecasting the trend of Markov Chain is represented by enough points sampled using the idea of Monte Carlo integration. Experimental results show that the Sampling Markov Chain method is applicable and effective for short-term traffic flow forecasting in case of incomplete data.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129137212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
