To mitigate the current COVID-19 pandemic, policy-makers at the Greater London Authority, the regional governance body of London, UK, are reliant upon prompt, accurate and actionable estimations of lockdown and social distancing policy adherence. Transport for London, the local transportation department, reports they implemented over 700 interventions such as greater signage and expansion of pedestrian zoning at the height of the pandemic’s first wave with our platform providing key data for…

An Expectation-Based Network Scan Statistic for a COVID-19 Early Warning System
TLDR
An early-warning system and an expectation-based scan statistic for networks are described and a variant of the metric used in the EBP model which focuses on identifying space-time regions in which activity is quieter than expected are introduced.
MIO-TCD: A New Benchmark Dataset for Vehicle Classification and Localization
TLDR
This paper introduces the “Miovision traffic camera dataset” (MIO-TCD), the largest dataset for motorized traffic analysis to date, and demonstrates the viability of deep learning methods for vehicle localization and classification from a single video frame in real-life traffic scenarios.
Optimal detection of changepoints with a linear computational cost
TLDR
This work considers the problem of detecting multiple changepoints in large data sets and introduces a new method for finding the minimum of such cost functions and hence the optimal number and location of changepoints that has a computational cost which is linear in the number of observations.
Algorithms for estimating mean vehicle speed using uncalibrated traffic management cameras
TLDR
A variety of algorithms for a space mean speed sensor that processes digital video of a road captured by an uncalibrated camera are contributed and it is concluded that a mediaprocessor-based system should achieve real-time operation on 320 x 240 images sampled at 5 Hz.
A novel technique to dynamically measure vehicle speed using uncalibrated roadway cameras
TLDR
The method presented uses a straightening technique to remove perspective effects and a correlation technique to establish the necessary scale factor to make robust speed estimates.
Automatic Camera Calibration for Traffic Understanding
TLDR
This work proposes a method for fully automatic calibration of traffic surveillance cameras for targeted applications, which allows for calibration of the camera – including scale – without any user input, only from several minutes of input surveillance video.
Microsoft COCO: Common Objects in Context
We present a new dataset with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art in object recognition by placing the question of object recognition in the context of the broader question of scene…
You Only Look Once: Unified, Real-Time Object Detection
TLDR
Compared to state-of-the-art detection systems, YOLO makes more localization errors but is less likely to predict false positives on background, and outperforms other detection methods, including DPM and R-CNN, when generalizing from natural images to other domains like artwork.
Gaussian YOLOv3: An Accurate and Fast Object Detector Using Localization Uncertainty for Autonomous Driving
TLDR
This paper proposes a method for improving the detection accuracy while supporting a real-time operation by modeling the bounding box (bbox) of YOLOv3, which is the most representative of one-stage detectors, with a Gaussian parameter and redesigning the loss function.
Multi-resolution Multi-task Gaussian Processes
TLDR
This work develops shallow Gaussian Process (GP) mixtures that approximate the difficult to estimate joint likelihood with a composite one and deep GP constructions that naturally handle biases in the mean and generalize and outperform state of the art GP compositions and offer information-theoretic corrections and efficient variational approximations.
