Theses and Dissertations
The field of deep learning has experienced a resurgence in the recent years, particularly resulting with the advent of AlexNet. Supervised learning is currently the most common and practical machine learning method. The struggle with employing supervised learning to approach problems is that it requires training data. Sufficient training data is correlated with performance for deep learning models. The issue is that preparing the training data can be a tedious and labor intensive task, especially on a large scale. The purpose of this paper is to determine how efficient a machine can learn when trained on automatically annotated data. The …

With the wide use of smart phones, distraction has become a major safety concern to roadway users. The distracted phone-use behaviors among pedestrians, like Texting, Game Playing and Phone Calls, have caused increasing fatalities and serious injuries. With the increasing usage of driver monitor systems on intelligent vehicles, distracted driver behaviors can be efficiently detected and warned. However, the research of phone-related distracted behavior by pedestrians has not been systemically studied. It is desired to improve both the driving and pedestrian safety by automatically discovering the phone-related pedestrian distracted behaviors. In this thesis, we propose a new computer vision-based method …
