Social and hUman ceNtered XR
Vairo C., Callieri M., Carrara F., Cignoni P., Di Benedetto M., Gennaro C., Giorgi D., Palma G., Vadicamo L., Amato G.
The Social and hUman ceNtered XR (SUN) project is focused on developing eXtended Reality (XR) solutions that integrate the physical and virtual world in a way that is convincing from a human and social perspective. In this paper, we outline the limitations that the SUN project aims to overcome, including the lack of scalable and cost-effective solutions for developing XR applications, limited solutions for mixing the virtual and physical environment, and barriers related to resource limitations of end-user devices. We also propose solutions to these limitations, including using artificial intelligence, computer vision, and sensor analysis to incrementally learn the visual and physical properties of real objects and generate convincing digital twins in the virtual environment. Additionally, the SUN project aims to provide wearable sensors and haptic interfaces to enhance natural interaction with the virtual environment and advanced solutions for user interaction. Finally, we describe three real-life scenarios in which we aim to demonstrate the proposed solutions.Source: Ital-IA 2023 - Workshop su AI per l'industria, Pisa, Italy, 29-31/05/2023

Multi-camera vehicle counting using edge-AI
Ciampi L., Gennaro C., Carrara F., Falchi F., Vairo C., Amato G.
This paper presents a novel solution to automatically count vehicles in a parking lot using images captured by smart cameras. Unlike most of the literature on this task, which focuses on the analysis of single images, this paper proposes the use of multiple visual sources to monitor a wider parking area from different perspectives. The proposed multi-camera system is capable of automatically estimating the number of cars present in the entire parking lot directly on board the edge devices. It comprises an on-device deep learning-based detector that locates and counts the vehicles from the captured images and a decentralized geometric-based approach that can analyze the inter-camera shared areas and merge the data acquired by all the devices. We conducted the experimental evaluation on an extended version of the CNRPark-EXT dataset, a collection of images taken from the parking lot on the campus of the National Research Council (CNR) in Pisa, Italy. We show that our system is robust and takes advantage of the redundant information deriving from the different cameras, improving the overall performance without requiring any extra geometrical information of the monitored scene.Source: Expert systems with applications (2022). doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2022.117929

AI and computer vision for smart cities
Amato G., Carrara F., Ciampi L., Di Benedetto M., Gennaro C., Falchi F., Messina N., Vairo C.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly employed to develop public services that make life easier for citizens. In this abstract, we present some research topics and applications carried out by the Artificial Intelligence for Media and Humanities (AIMH) laboratory of the ISTI-CNR of Pisa about the study and development of AI-based services for Smart Cities dedicated to the interaction with the physical world through the analysis of images gathered from city cameras. Like no other sensing mechanism, networks of city cameras can 'observe' the world and simultaneously provide visual data to AI systems to extract relevant information and make/suggest decisions helping to solve many real-world problems. Specifically, we discuss some solutions in the context of smart mobility, parking monitoring, infrastructure management, and surveillance systems.Source: I-CiTies 2022 - 8th Italian Conference on ICT for Smart Cities And Communities, Ascoli Piceno, Italy, 14-16/09/2022

The VISIONE video search system: exploiting off-the-shelf text search engines for large-scale video retrieval
Amato G., Bolettieri P., Carrara F., Debole F., Falchi F., Gennaro C., Vadicamo L., Vairo C.
This paper describes in detail VISIONE, a video search system that allows users to search for videos using textual keywords, the occurrence of objects and their spatial relationships, the occurrence of colors and their spatial relationships, and image similarity. These modalities can be combined together to express complex queries and meet users' needs. The peculiarity of our approach is that we encode all information extracted from the keyframes, such as visual deep features, tags, color and object locations, using a convenient textual encoding that is indexed in a single text retrieval engine. This offers great flexibility when results corresponding to various parts of the query (visual, text and locations) need to be merged. In addition, we report an extensive analysis of the retrieval performance of the system, using the query logs generated during the Video Browser Showdown (VBS) 2019 competition. This allowed us to fine-tune the system by choosing the optimal parameters and strategies from those we tested.Source: JOURNAL OF IMAGING 7 (2021). doi:10.3390/jimaging7050076

A multi-camera solution for counting vehicles on the edge
Ciampi L., Gennaro C., Carrara F., Falchi F., Vairo C., Amato G.
Smart mobility applications, such as intelligent parking and road traffic management, are nowadays widely employed worldwide, making our cities more livable, bringing benefits to our lives, reducing costs, and improving energy usage. We propose a multi-camera system to automatically count vehicles in a parking lot using images captured by smart cameras. Unlike most of the literature on this task, which focuses on the analysis of single images, this paper proposes the use of multiple visual sources to monitor a wider parking area from different perspectives. Experiments show that our solution is robust, flexible, and can benefit from redundant information from different cameras while improving overall performance.Source: I-CiTies 2021 - 7th Italian Conference on ICT for Smart Cities And Communities, Online Conference, 22-24/09/2021

Edge-Based Video Surveillance with Embedded Devices
Kavalionak H., Gennaro C., Amato G., Vairo C., Perciante C., Meghini C., Falchi F., Rabitti F.
Video surveillance systems have become indispensable tools for the security and organization of public and private areas. In this work, we propose a novel distributed protocol for an edge-based face recogni-tion system that takes advantage of the computational capabilities of the surveillance devices (i.e., cameras) to perform person recognition. The cameras fall back to a centralized server if their hardware capabili-ties are not enough to perform the recognition. We evaluate the proposed algorithm via extensive experiments on a freely available dataset. As a prototype of surveillance embedded devices, we have considered a Rasp-berry PI with the camera module. Using simulations, we show that our algorithm can reduce up to 50% of the load of the server with no negative impact on the quality of the surveillance service.Source: 28th Symposium on Advanced Database Systems (SEBD), pp. 278–285, Villasimius, Sardinia, Italy, 21-24/06/2020
