Build accurate DNN models requires training on large labeled, context specific datasets, especially those matching the target scenario. We believe advances in wireless localization, working in unison with cameras, can produce automated…
Localization defines a term to describe the identifying process of a location within the space of two-dimensional (2D) space or three-dimensional (3D). A localization scheme is an important concern for connecting sensor nodes in remote…
Pedestrian attribute recognition has attracted many attentions due to its wide applications in scene understanding and person analysis from surveillance videos. Existing methods try to use additional pose, part or viewpoint information to…
The presence of third-party tracking on websites has become customary. However, our understanding of the third-party ecosystem is still very rudimentary. We examine third-party trackers from a geographical perspective, observing the…
This research investigated how online criminal activities can be better understood and connected using data-driven machine learning methods. Many illegal activities, such as human trafficking and illicit trade, have moved to online…
In the early age of the internet users enjoyed a large level of anonymity. At the time web pages were just hypertext documents; almost no personalisation of the user experience was o ered. The Web today has evolved as a world wide…
Smartphone apps provide a vitally important opportunity for monitoring human mobility, human experience of ubiquitous information aids, and human activity in our increasingly well-instrumented spaces. As wireless data capabilities move…
