Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

ANDROID (Automated Numeration of Data Realised by Optimised Image Detection) is a collaborative, LINK-funded project between the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Ross Silcock Partnership. (RSL) and the Defence, Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). ANDROID is co-ordinated by RSL. The motivating idea for the project was to build upon research started under the DETR-funded Pedestrian Behaviour and Exposure to Risk (PEDEX) project (R.A.Allsopp, 1997, C.R.Williams and M.G.H.Bell, 1997) where image processing of traffic videos was used to assess the exposure of pedestrians to risk. This project illustrated the shortcomings of existing systems to monitor, classify and count vehicles and pedestrians automatically. These shortcomings were addressed and, to some extent resolved, in the ANDROID project which specifically developed techniques to characterise objects and the application software to discriminate, track and count pedestrians and vehicles automatically from video footage. In parallel with the technical research development work ANDROID also developed a validation scheme for the system and performed significant market analysis to determine what exploitation path the partnership should pursue
