Liveability from Above: Understanding Quality of Life with Overhead Imagery and Deep Neural Networks

Urban planners are increasingly interested in understanding what makes a neighbourhood pleasant and liveable. In this paper, we use the overhead perspective as a new way to describe and understand liveability of city neighborhoods. We predict building qual ...

Self-Supervised Pretraining and Controlled Augmentation Improve Rare Wildlife Recognition in UAV Images

Devis Tuia, Rui Gong, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Xiaochen Zheng

Automated animal censuses with aerial imagery are a vital ingredient towards wildlife conservation. Recent models are generally based on deep learning and thus require vast amounts of training data. Due to their scarcity and minuscule size, annotating anim ...

Cross-Modal Learning of Housing Quality in Amsterdam

Devis Tuia, Alex Hubertus Levering

In our research we test data and models for the recognition of housing quality in the city of Amsterdam from ground-level and aerial imagery. For ground-level images we compare Google StreetView (GSV) to Flickr images. Our results show that GSV predicts th ...

3D Structure From 2D Microscopy Images Using Deep Learning

Suliana Manley, Christian Sieben

Understanding the structure of a protein complex is crucial in determining its function. However, retrieving accurate 3D structures from microscopy images is highly challenging, particularly as many imaging modalities are two-dimensional. Recent advances i ...

Perceiving Humans: from Monocular 3D Localization to Social Distancing

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Sven Kreiss, Lorenzo Bertoni

Perceiving humans in the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) often relies on multiple cameras or expensive LiDAR sensors. In this work, we present a new cost-effective vision-based method that perceives humans' locations in 3D and their bod ...

Promoting Connectivity of Network-Like Structures by Enforcing Region Separation

Pascal Fua, Leonardo Citraro, Mateusz Kozinski, Doruk Oner

We propose a novel, connectivity-oriented loss function for training deep convolutional networks to reconstruct network-like structures, like roads and irrigation canals, from aerial images. The main idea behind our loss is to express the connectivity of r ...

Estimating Nonplanar Flow from 2D Motion-blurred Widefield Microscopy Images via Deep Learning

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling, Adrian Shajkofci

Optical flow is a method aimed at predicting the movement velocity of any pixel in the image and is used in medicine and biology to estimate flow of particles in organs or organelles. However, a precise optical flow measurement requires images taken at hig ...

Reward biases spontaneous neural reactivation during sleep

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maximilien Catsiyannis

Sleep favors the reactivation and consolidation of newly acquired memories. Yet, how our brain selects the noteworthy information to be reprocessed during sleep remains largely unknown. From an evolutionary perspective, individuals must retain information ...

Tracking and Relative Localization of Drone Swarms With a Vision-Based Headset

Dario Floreano, Giuseppe Loianno, Maxim Pavliv, Fabrizio Schiano

We address the detection, tracking, and relative localization of the agents of a drone swarm from a human perspective using a headset equipped with a single camera and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). We train and deploy a deep neural network detector o ...

Automatic detection of potential mosquito breeding sites from aerial images acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles

Vitor Pessoa Colombo

The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that effective vector control measures are critical to achieving and sustaining reduction of vector-borne infectious disease incidence. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), popularly known as drones, can be an imp ...

Additive manufacturing of a precious bulk metallic glass

Jamasp Jhabvala, Güven Kurtuldu, Antonia Neels, Roland Logé, Navid Sohrabi, Annapaola Parrilli

For the first time, a high-density amorphous and crack-free bulk metallic glass (BMG) based on a precious metal (PdCuNiP) was produced via additive manufacturing (AM). Laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) was used for the fabrication of the samples, and led to a ...
