In Smart City, we focus on one specific data, i.e., visual data (images and videos). We try to build a system that uses the data analysis methods to extract useful information. This part collaborated with the Goettingen government and the Goettingen bus company.

For the project we will design, implement, and deploy the system at several buses at specific positions with sub-systems consisting of:
The final task of students and implementation plan
 
The students will be divided into 2-person teams. Each group will take responsibility to reimplement (and possibly adopt) a different existing software architecture for all the bus lines used in our project. Two of the 2-person teams in each group will be responsible for one specific sub-task inside independently (in case one team can’t compete). The teams inside one group will therefore have to co-operate.  
* Depth camera (e.g. Intel RealSense D435)
 
* On-board computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi Zero, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier)
 
* Power supply (e.g. EC Technology Powerbank)
 
All these sub-systems in each bus will be combined into one system which shall be deployed for ideally an initial period of 2 months, thus obtaining sufficient data patterns for further analysis.
 
Tasks of students and implementation plan
The students will be divided into 2 groups consisting of six 2-person teams. Each group will take responsibility to reimplement (and possibly adapt) a different existing software architecture for all the bus lines used in our project. Two of the 2-person teams in each group will be responsible for one specific sub-task inside independently (in case one team can’t compete). The teams inside one group will therefore have to co-operate.  
Note that we will give a default version of each module to guarantee the basic operation of the whole system.
Note that we will give a default version of each module to guarantee the basic operation of the whole system.
The main tasks are as follows:
1. Collect the video data of the depth cameras with a predefined interface or preinstalled SD card periodically.
2. Label corresponding objects/events in videos as the dataset.
3. Reimplement existing video analytics architecture (using open source code from papers) with collected depth image video.
(We split the architecture into modules. Each 2-person team takes care of one module then the group combines the modules together.)
4. Based on the implemented architecture, each team should develop an idea to improve the architecture. Then implement a demo, deploy in the bus system, show the collected results, and present the results in the final Smart City report.
a) The idea can be a new application.
b) The idea can also be an algorithm or module on how to improve the performance of the architecture.
Learning about such a fast-moving field is an exciting opportunity, but covering it in a traditional course setting comes with some caveats you should be aware of.
* No canonical curriculum: Many topics in mathematics and computer science such as linear algebra, real analysis, discrete mathematics, data structures and algorithms, etc come with well-established curricula; courses on such subjects can be found at most universities, and they tend to cover similar topics in a similar order. This is not the case for emerging research areas like deep learning: the set of topics to be covered, as well as the order and way of thinking about each topic, has not yet been perfected.
* Few learning materials: There are very few high-quality textbooks or other learning materials that synthesize or explain much of the content we will cover. In many cases, '''the research paper that introduced an idea is the best or only resource for learning about it'''.
* Theory lags experiments: At present, '''video analytics is primarily an empirically driven research field'''. We may use mathematical notation to describe or communicate our algorithms and ideas, and many techniques are motivated by some mathematical or computational intuition, but in most cases, we rely on experiments rather than formal proofs to determine the scenarios where one technique might outperform another. This can sometimes be unsettling for students, as the question “why does that work?” may not always have a precise, theoretically-grounded answer.
* Things will change: If you were to study deep learning ten years from now, it is very likely that it will look quite different from today. There may be new fundamental discoveries or new ways of thinking about things we already know; there may be some ideas we think are important today, that will turn out in retrospect not to have been. There may be similarly impactful results lurking right around the corner.
