BSUV-Net (Background Subtraction for Unseen Videos), a toolbox of algorithms for detecting changes in video streams developed by PhD candidate M. Ozan Tezcan, has been recently featured in an article on the website of the Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering.
The Computational Occupancy Sensing System (COSSY) under the development with funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) has been recently featured in a College of Engineering article and another one published by The Brink. Both focus on the the applicability of COSSY not only to saving energy but also as a tool to provide safe […]
