Every 10 mins, 3 die in mishaps, Intel wants to get insight into safer Indian roads.Rai pointed out that Intel, along with IIIT Hyderabad, Will continue to build more "diverse" data sets from different geographical. IIIT Hyderabad professor C V Jawahar pointed out that in the coming days data will be collected from rural parts of Telangana also. So far data collection with the help of EVs has been restricted to Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
Modern AI is dominated by the use of data and if you want Indian problems to get attention worldwide, we need data and this is something that will be the fundamental building block,” says C V Jawahar, who heads the computer vision group at IIIT Hyderabad. The idea is to make this data openly accessible for researchers to train their machine learning models. The team from IIIT Hyderabad plans to run a challenge at the upcoming European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) to attract more researchers to use the dataset. “Now the dataset is being made public. This is useful for non-commercial use and research,” says Jawahar. The Indian Driving Dataset (IDD), which has about 26 classes, will put Indian road safety problems on the radar of AI researchers.
Sudhir Yarram, Girish Varma, C.V. Jawahar won Best Runner-Up Paper Award at IROS 2018 for their paper "City-Scale Road Audit System using Deep Learning".
Prof. C V Jawahar participated in INTEL AI Devcon on 08 August at Bangalore.
At the Centre for Visual Information Technology (CVIT), IIIT-H researchers though have gone beyond a mere audio guide and made a visit to a heritage site an interactive experience. Sahil Chelaramani, 2nd year, MS by Research student and one of the researchers behind the Interactive Tour Guide project says that the intent behind digital heritage projects at IIIT-H was to digitize information typically found in archaic ASI records and make it accessible to the common man in a way that is user-friendly and engaging. He explains how work in the field of digitizing heritage information has been going on for a while at the centre. “Our paper, An Interactive Tour Guide For a Heritage Siteis a small part of ongoing work, but we’ve refined and taken it further. We’ve introduced the ability to customize the story telling”, says Sahil modestly.
One usually associates split screens with news channel panel discussions with multiple guests in the same frame. And that is typically done with an elaborate camera crew and their multiple cameras, a cameraperson focussing one camera each on a panel member. Similar is the case of stage performances like a dance recital or a play. Recordings of such dynamic events are typically captured with multiple cameras and cameramen to capture the scene from various viewpoints, or a single wide static high-resolution camera, which are then edited together to create a single video.
Prof. C V Jawahar and Prof. P J Narayanan participated in India Technology Leadership Series – Industry and Government Dialogues on 27 July at New Delhi.

IIIT-Hyderabad to digitise information on Golconda Fort.
The next time you walk into Golconda Fort and wish to quietly enjoy your walk through, but keen on knowing some details of the edifice at the same time, you need not depend on anyone for the information. All you have to do is to scan the object of your interest using the mobile phone and the story behind it will enfold on the screen with images. This would soon be possible with a digital heritage project being worked on by the students of IIIT-Hyderabad.
C.V.Jawahar, Samakash Yadav, Sahil Chelaraman and Rakesh Jasti set to make sports video analysis affordable.
Imagine seeing every move of players from a variety of perspectives, analysing their strengths and weaknesses, seeing their favourite shots and their agility levels from start to end all on your mobile phone! Sounds a little far-fetched. But with the technology being developed by the research students of International Institute of Information Technology-Hyderabad (IIIT-H), even coaches in a small town can afford to do that.
