Collision Avoidance Smartphone, Matt Columbres, Aaron Parisi, Joey Schnecker, Luis Wong

Electrical Engineering

There are many instances in day-to-day life where people cannot or would rather not pay full attention to their surroundings. Walking while preoccupied with a smartphone or walking while blind are excellent examples where technology could be used to make the task of avoiding 2collisions reactive, instead of proactive. A device which monitors a user’s surroundings and notifies the user when a potential collision is detected (and, additionally, notifying them as to where the obstacle is with respect to them) could be used to make walking distracted less of a hazard for the user and those around the user and …


Comparison Of Google Image Search And Resnet Image Classification Using Image Similarity Metrics, David Smith May 2018

Comparison Of Google Image Search And Resnet Image Classification Using Image Similarity Metrics, David Smith

Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses

In this paper, we compare the results of ResNet image classification with the results of Google Image search. We created a collection of 1,000 images by performing ten Google Image searches with a variety of search terms. We classified each of these images using ResNet and inspected the results. The ResNet classifier predicted the category that matched the search term of the image 77.5% of the time. In our best case, with the search term “forklift”, the classifier categorized 92 of the 100 images as forklifts. In the worst case, for the category “hammer”, the classifier matched the search term …
