Journal of Big Data welcomes submissions to the thematic series "Advanced bio-inspired deep learning algorithms for multi-modal perceptual big data analysis in car-driver assistance systems"
The latest and next generation cars collect a wide variety of data coming from different systems that need to be processed and merged in order to provide adequate car driving assistance. The data which are most relevant in reducing the driver's risk level are those of the perceptual type that are reconstructed from the driver's physiological signals (photoplethysmography) sampled by sensors placed in the car's steering, and through visual features sampled from special front-cameras on the base of the steering system. Then, through additional external vision sensors, MEMS and accelerometers placed inside the car, it is possible to reconstruct the driving scene, driver stress levels, driving safety, driving dynamics etc. These approaches make use of sophisticated bio-inspired algorithms that use modern deep learning approaches.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Car-driver vision and physiological big data processing systems for automotive applications
- Scene understanding for autonomous vehicles
- Software Deep Learning and intelligent sensor processing embedded architectures for autonomous vehicles
- Vision, LiDAR , RADAR, near-infrared-thermal, physiological data for augmented driving safety
- Car driver physiological assessment for personalized driving assistance
- Multi-modal bio-sensors for car-driver assistance systems
- Intelligent multi-modal bio-sensing data analysis and modelling for driving risk assessment
- Adversarial attack stabilization pipeline for deep learning based driving assistance solutions
- Deep learning with domain adaptation for robust car driving scene understanding/reconstruction
- Car-driver saliency-based scene reconstruction and object detection and tracking
- Deep Learning perceptual Video saliency for car-driving profiling and safety assessment
