Immense opportunity exists to make transportation systems smarter, based on sensor data from traffic, signaling systems, infrastructure, and transit. Unfortunately, progress has been limited for several reasons — among them, poor data quality, missing data labels, and the lack of high-quality models that can convert the data into actionable insights There is also a need for platforms that can handle analysis from the edge to the cloud, which will accelerate the development and deployment of these models.
We are organizing the AI City Challenge Workshop at CVPR 2019 to help address these challenges by encouraging research and development into techniques that rely less on supervised approaches and more on transfer learning, unsupervised and semi-supervised approaches that go beyond bounding boxes. It will focus on Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) problems.
