In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing a dense 3D model using images captured from different views. Recent methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) allow learning the entire task from data. However, they do not incorporate the physics of image formation such as perspective geometry and occ...
A major limitation of all aforementioned approaches is that they require full 3D supervision for training, which is quite restrictive. Tulsiani al @cite_8 relax these assumptions by formulating a differentiable view consistency loss that measures the inconsistency between the predicted 3D shape and its observation. Sim...

A system capable of early detecting a pedestrian’s intention of crossing the road and performing an evasive maneuver if avoidance by braking is impossible is presented in @cite_13 . However, they rely on the existence of a Road Side Unit placed in dangerous road spots in order to detect pedestrian intention and send th...

As opposed to most previous research, @cite_7 propose a model-free collision avoidance system using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). They derive a balanced reward function for an autonomous braking system based on DRL, where the action space allows 4 choices: no braking, weak braking, medium and strong. The reward fu...

Various metrics are being employed in research as a measure of crash severity, while this makes for grim reading they do provide widely adopted quantitative, data driven models of accident outcomes.

The notion of AoI is formally introduced in @cite_14 , where the authors analyze the time average AoI in M M 1, M D 1, and D M 1 systems under the FCFS policy. Since this seminal work, the study on the AoI has attracted a lot of research interests. There is a large body of work that focuses on the analysis of the AoI u...
