• Abstract: Reliable detection of human occupancy in indoor environments is critical for various energy efficiency, security, and safety applications. We consider this challenge of occupancy detection using extremely low-quality, privacy-preserving images from low power image sensors. We propose a combined few shot learning and clustering algorithm to address this challenge that has very low commissioning and maintenance cost. While the few shot learning concept enables us to commission our system with a few labeled examples, the clustering step serves the purpose of online adaptation to changing imaging environment over time. Apart from validating and comparing our algorithm on benchmark datasets, we also demonstrate performance of our algorithm on streaming images collected from real homes using our novel battery free camera hardware.

  Hybrid Event-Based Vision Sensor (HybridEVS) is a novel sensor integrating traditional frame-based and event-based sensors. Despite its potential, the lack of Image signal processing (ISP) pipeline specifically designed for HybridEVS poses a significant challenge. We propose a coarse-to-fine framework named DemosaicFormer which comprises coarse demosaicing and pixel correction.

• Privacy-Preserving Person Detection Using Low-Resolution Infrared Cameras [9.801893730708134]
  In intelligent building management, knowing the number of people and their location in a room are important for better control of its illumination, ventilation, and heating with reduced costs and improved comfort. This is typically achieved by detecting people using embedded devices that are installed on the room's ceiling, and that integrate low-resolution infrared camera, which conceals each person's identity. For accurate detection, state-of-the-art deep learning models still require supervised training using a large annotated dataset of images. In this paper, we investigate cost-effective methods that are suitable for person detection based on low-resolution infrared images
