Since the generative neural networks have made a breakthrough in the image generation problem, lots of researches on their applications have been studied such as image restoration, style transfer and image completion. However, there has…
Characterizing driving styles of human drivers using vehicle sensor data, e.g., GPS, is an interesting research problem and an important real-world requirement from automotive industries. A good representation of driving features can be…
Urban socioeconomic modeling has predominantly concentrated on extensive location and neighborhood-based features, relying on the localized population footprint. However, networks in urban systems are common, and many urban modeling methods…
Minimising the discomfort caused by robots when navigating in social situations is crucial for them to be accepted. The paper presents a machine learning-based framework that bootstraps existing one-dimensional datasets to generate a cost…
The United States spends more than $1B each year on initiatives such as the American Community Survey (ACS), a labor-intensive door-to-door study that measures statistics relating to race, gender, education, occupation, unemployment, and…
The disorder of urban streetscapes would negatively affect people's perception of their aesthetic quality. The presence of billboards on building facades has been regarded as an important factor of the disorder, but its quantification…
Despite the recent success of deep-learning based semantic segmentation, deploying a pre-trained road scene segmenter to a city whose images are not presented in the training set would not achieve satisfactory performance due to dataset…
In self driving car applications, there is a requirement to predict the location of the lane given an input RGB front facing image. In this paper, we propose an architecture that allows us to increase the speed and robustness of road…
The environments, in which autonomous cars act, are high-risky, dynamic, and full of uncertainty, demanding a continuous update of their sensory information and knowledge bases. The frequency of facing an unknown object is too high making…
High-definition (HD) maps offer extensive and accurate environmental information about the driving scene, making them a crucial and essential element for planning within autonomous driving systems. To avoid extensive efforts from manual…
Recent studies show that 85% of women have changed their traveled route to avoid harassment and assault. Despite this, current mapping tools do not empower users with information to take charge of their personal safety. We propose…
More than 40% of the world's population is not connected to the internet, majorly due to the lack of adequate infrastructure. Our work aims to bridge this digital divide by proposing solutions for network deployment in remote areas.…
This paper presents an novel object type classification method for automotive applications which uses deep learning with radar reflections. The method provides object class information such as pedestrian, cyclist, car, or non-obstacle. The…
Street view images classification aiming at urban land use analysis is difficult because the class labels (e.g., commercial area), are concepts with higher abstract level compared to the ones of general visual tasks (e.g., persons and…
Automatic road extraction from satellite imagery using deep learning is a viable alternative to traditional manual mapping. Therefore it has received considerable attention recently. However, most of the existing methods are supervised and…
Most design methods contain a forward framework, asking for primary specifications of a building to generate an output or assess its performance. However, architects urge for specific objectives though uncertain of the proper design…
Understanding how cities visually differ from each others is interesting for planners, residents, and historians. We investigate the interpretation of deep features learned by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for city recognition. Given…
