However, some problems can affect the accuracy of the existing algorithms, such as changes in environmental light conditions, shadows, the presence of objects of the same colour, significant changes in scale and rotation, as well as obstacles in front of the traffic signs. To overcome these difficulties, a reference image database is usually used that includes different modes of appearing the traffic signs in the images. In order to overcome the effects of scale and rotation, in this paper a new method is presented in which only one reference image is needed for each sign to recognise the traffic sign in an image. In the proposed method, imaging is done in stereo. Using the captured image pair, a virtual image is generated which is then used to recognise the sign. As a result, the recognition is carried out with a minimum number of reference images. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves recognition results. The traffic signs are recognised with 93.1% accuracy that enjoys a 4.9% improvement over traditional methods.

Inferencing hourly traffic volume using data-driven machine learning and graph theory / Zhiyan Yi in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 85 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inComputers, Environment and Urban Systems > vol 85 (January 2021) . - n° 101548 Titre : Inferencing hourly traffic volume using data-driven machine learning and graph theory Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Zhiyan Yi, Auteur ; Xiaoyue Cathy Liu, Auteur ; Nikola Markovic, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 101548 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] apprentissage automatique [Termes descripteurs IGN] classification barycentrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] corrélation automatique de points homologues [Termes descripteurs IGN] échantillonnage de données [Termes descripteurs IGN] Extreme Gradient Machine [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes descripteurs IGN] planification [Termes descripteurs IGN] théorie des graphes [Termes descripteurs IGN] trafic routier [Termes descripteurs IGN] Utah (Etas-Unis) Résumé : (auteur) Traffic volume is a critical piece of information in many applications, such as transportation long-range planning and traffic operation analysis. Effectively capturing traffic volumes on a network scale is beneficial to Transportation Systems Management & Operations (TSM&O). Yet it is impractical to install sensors to cover a large road network. To address this issue, spatial prediction techniques are widely performed to estimate traffic volumes at sites without sensors. In retrospect, most relevant studies resort to machine learning methods and treat each prediction location independently during the training process, ignoring the potential spatial dependency among them. This paper presents an innovative spatial prediction method of hourly traffic volume on a network scale. To achieve this, we applied a state-of-the-art tree ensemble model - extreme gradient boosting tree (XGBoost) - to handle the large-scale features and hourly traffic volume samples, due to the model's powerful scalability. Moreover, spatial dependency among road segments is taken into account in the proposed model using graph theory. Specifically, we created a traffic network graph leveraging probe trajectory data, and implemented a graph-based approach - breadth first search (BFS) - to search neighboring sites in this graph for computing spatial dependency. The proposed spatial dependency feature is subsequently incorporated as a new feature fed into XGBoost. The proposed model is tested on the road network in the state of Utah. Numerical results not only indicate high computational efficiency of the proposed model, but also demonstrate significant improvement in prediction accuracy of hourly traffic volume comparing with the benchmarked models.

Probabilistic positioning in mobile phone network and its consequences for the privacy of mobility data / Aleksey Ogulenko in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 85 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inComputers, Environment and Urban Systems > vol 85 (January 2021) . - n° 101550 Titre : Probabilistic positioning in mobile phone network and its consequences for the privacy of mobility data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Aleksey Ogulenko, Auteur ; Itzhak Benenson, Auteur ; Itzhak Omer, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 101550 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] antenne [Termes descripteurs IGN] classification bayesienne [Termes descripteurs IGN] confidentialité [Termes descripteurs IGN] diagramme de Voronoï [Termes descripteurs IGN] estimation bayesienne [Termes descripteurs IGN] inférence [Termes descripteurs IGN] protection de la vie privée [Termes descripteurs IGN] réseau téléphonique [Termes descripteurs IGN] téléphonie mobile [Termes descripteurs IGN] tessellation Résumé : (auteur) The traditional approach to mobile phone positioning is based on the assumption that the geographical location of a cell tower recorded in a Call Details Record (CDR) is a proxy for a device's location. A Voronoi tessellation is then constructed based on the entire network of cell towers and this tessellation is considered as a coordinate system, with the device located in a Voronoi polygon of a cell tower that is recorded in the CDR. If Voronoi-based positioning is correct, the uniqueness of the device trajectory is very high, and the device can be identified based on 3–5 of its recorded locations. We investigate a probabilistic approach to device positioning that is based on knowledge of each antennas' parameters and number of connections, as dependent on the distance to the antenna. The critical difference between the Voronoi-based and the real world layout is in the essential overlap of the antennas' service areas: The device that is located in a cell tower's polygon can be served by a more distant antenna that is chosen by the network system to balance the network load. Combining data on the distance distribution of the number of connections available for each antenna in the network, we resolve the overlap problem by applying Bayesian inference and construct a realistic distribution of the device location. Probabilistic device positioning demands a full revision of mobile phone privacy and new full set of tools for data analysis.

A deep learning approach to improve the retrieval of temperature and humidity profiles from a ground-based microwave radiometer / Xing Yan in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, Vol 58 n° 12 (December 2020)

Such profiles are critical for understanding the evolution of climate systems. To improve the accuracy of profile retrieval in MWR, we developed a deep learning approach called batch normalization and robust neural network (BRNN). In contrast to the traditional backpropagation neural network (BPNN), which has previously been applied for MWR profile retrieval, BRNN reduces overfitting and has a greater capacity to describe nonlinear relationships between MWR measurements and atmospheric structure information. Validation of BRNN with the radiosonde demonstrates a good retrieval capability, showing a root-mean-square error of 1.70 K for temperature, 11.72% for relative humidity (RH), and 0.256 g/m 3 for water vapor density. A detailed comparison with various inversion methods (BPNN, extreme gradient boosting, support vector machine, ridge regression, and random forest) has also been conducted in this research, using the same training and test data sets. From the comparison, we demonstrated that BRNN significantly improves retrieval accuracy, particularly for the retrieval of temperature and RH near the surface.

Exploring the inclusion of Sentinel-2 MSI texture metrics in above-ground biomass estimation in the community forest of Nepal / Santa Pandit in Geocarto international, vol 35 n° 16 ([01/12/2020])  

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 35 n° 16 [01/12/2020] . - pp 1832 - 1849 Titre : Exploring the inclusion of Sentinel-2 MSI texture metrics in above-ground biomass estimation in the community forest of Nepal Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Santa Pandit, Auteur ; Satoshi Tsuyuki, Auteur ; Timothy Dube, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 1832 - 1849 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse multibande [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse texturale [Termes descripteurs IGN] apprentissage automatique [Termes descripteurs IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes descripteurs IGN] classification par forêts aléatoires [Termes descripteurs IGN] forêt [Termes descripteurs IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes descripteurs IGN] indice de végétation [Termes descripteurs IGN] Népal Résumé : (auteur) The potential of the improved resolution Sentinel-2 MSI data was explored through texture metrics, vegetation indices (VIs) and pooled dataset using the Random Forest (RF) machine learning algorithm to estimate Above-ground Biomass (AGB) in a sub-tropical forest of Nepal. Texture metrics were derived based on different working window sizes (3 × 3, 5 × 5, 7 × 7 and 9 × 9), and the results were compared with those obtained, using raw traditional bands (Analysis set 1: 2, 3, 4, 8, 11 and 12), raw traditional and red edge bands (Analysis set 2: Set 1 + Band 5, 6, 7 and 8A), and red edge bands (Analysis set 3) only. Comparatively, the use of pooled data (texture and VIs) yielded higher biomass estimates. The results from pooled data based on the 7 × 7 window size resulted in models with better model fitting parameters. For instance, pooled data produced an R2 = 0.99 and a RMSE = 4.51 t ha−1 (relRMSE = 2.82). Further, the RF model selected dissimilarity, variance and mean from Band 2 and SAVI (Soil adjusted vegetation index) as the most important AGB predictor variables. The results demonstrated that like the red-edge bands, traditional bands were equally important in AGB estimation.
