| Roadmap/Focus area(s): | Comprehensive Approach to Safety | |
| Project Description: | Development of advanced tools for automated video feature extraction. | |
| Goals: | Development of advanced tools for automated video feature extraction. | |
| Background Information: | The SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) has collected 2 petabytes or more of video data from about 3,000 people who have volunteered to allow their vehicles to be instrumented for 1 or 2 years. The most important of this data is video of the driver operating the vehicle. Traditional analysis of video behavioral data has been by hand -- technicians manually going through the video frame by frame, and marking where features of interest are found. The amount of data in the NDS makes manual feature extraction impractical. This project is composed of research to find means of automating the review and coding of massive video data files. | |
