NEUROMORPHIC DRIVER MONITORING SYSTEMS: A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT FOR YAWN DETECTION AND SEATBELT STATE DETECTION USING AN EVENT CAMERA

Neuromorphic Driver Monitoring Systems: A Proof-of-Concept for Yawn Detection and Seatbelt State Detection Using an Event Camera

Driver monitoring systems (DMS) are a key component of vehicular safety and essential for the transition from semi-autonomous to ACU fully autonomous driving.Neuromorphic vision systems, based on event camera technology, provide advanced sensing in motion analysis tasks.In particular, the behaviours of drivers’ eyes have been studied for the

Plant Accessible Water Storage Capacity and Tree-Scale Root Interactions Determine How Forest Density Reductions Alter Forest Water Use and Productivity

Forest disturbances such as wildfire and drought-related disease often lead to declines in productivity that both influence and are influenced by forest water use, particularly in the semi-arid environments of the Western US.Fuel treatments are frequently proposed to reduce vulnerability to these drought-related impacts and in some cases as an appr
