Detecting Road Obstacles by Erasing Them

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Sina Honari, Krzysztof Maciej Lis

Vehicles can encounter a myriad of obstacles on the road, and it is impossible to record them all beforehand to train a detector. Instead, we select image patches and inpaint them with the surrounding road texture, which tends to remove obstacles from thos ...

Quantification of influence of monitoring duration on measured traffic action effects on fatigue of RC deck slabs of road bridges

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

The safety of existing bridges may be assessed using data from monitoring. The fatigue damage induced during observation period is extrapolated to the total service duration of a structure, and the reserve capacity is estimated. However, due to the randomn ...
