Billboard in Focus: Estimating Driver Gaze Duration from a Single Image

Roadside billboards represent a central element of outdoor advertising, yet their presence may contribute to driver distraction and accident risk. This study introduces a fully automated pipeline for billboard detection and driver gaze duration estimation, aiming to evaluate billboard relevance without reliance on manual annotations or eye-tracking devices. Our pipeline operates in two stages: (1) a YOLO-based object detection model trained on Mapillary Vistas and fine-tuned on BillboardLamac images achieved 94% mAP@50 in the billboard detection task (2) a classifier based on the detected bounding box positions and DINOv2 features. The proposed pipeline enables estimation of billboard driver gaze duration from individual frames. We show that our method is able to achieve 68.1% accuracy on BillboardLamac when considering individual frames. These results are further validated using images collected from Google Street View.

Depth2Pose: A Pose-Based Benchmark for Monocular Depth Estimation without Ground-Truth Depth

Monocular depth estimation has improved significantly in recent years, driven by increasingly powerful models and large-scale training data. Predicted depth is increasingly used as an input signal for downstream tasks such as Structure-from-Motion (SfM), visual localization, and SLAM. However, monocular depth estimators (MDEs) are still primarily evaluated in terms of depth accuracy. Standard metrics aggregate errors globally and may not reflect the usefulness of depth for downstream geometric tasks. We therefore propose Depth2Pose, a framework for evaluating MDEs in the context of downstream tasks. By combining depth predictions with feature correspondences in depth-aware geometric solvers, we use relative camera pose estimation accuracy as a task-driven proxy for depth quality. Traditional benchmarks require dense ground truth in the form of per-pixel depth, which is expensive to obtain. In contrast, our formulation requires only camera poses, which can be estimated efficiently, e.g., using Structure-from-Motion pipelines. As a result, our framework can be applied to scenes where ground-truth depth is difficult to obtain, for example due to large scene scale or heavy occlusions (e.g., vegetated environments). Leveraging this, we introduce the D2P dataset, which contains challenging scenes outside the distribution of commonly used training data. We show that methods performing well under standard depth error metrics on existing benchmarks also perform well under our pose-based metric when evaluated on the same datasets, but do not necessarily generalize to our more challenging dataset. Finally, we provide a simple and extensible evaluation framework. The dataset and code are available at kocurvik.github.io/depth2pose.

Detection of 3D Bounding Boxes of Vehicles Using Perspective Transformation for Accurate Speed Measurement

Detection and tracking of vehicles captured by traffic surveillance cameras is a key component of intelligent transportation systems. We present an improved version of our algorithm for detection of 3D bounding boxes of vehicles, their tracking and subsequent speed estimation. Our algorithm utilizes the known geometry of vanishing points in the surveilled scene to construct a perspective transformation. The transformation enables an intuitive simplification of the problem of detecting 3D bounding boxes to detection of 2D bounding boxes with one additional parameter using a standard 2D object detector. Main contribution of this paper is an improved construction of the perspective transformation which is more robust and fully automatic and an extended experimental evaluation of speed estimation. We test our algorithm on the speed estimation task of the BrnoCompSpeed dataset. We evaluate our approach with different configurations to gauge the relationship between accuracy and computational costs and benefits of 3D bounding box detection over 2D detection. All of the tested configurations run in real-time and are fully automatic. Compared to other published state-of-the-art fully automatic results our algorithm reduces the mean absolute speed measurement error by 32% (1.10 km/h to 0.75 km/h) and the absolute median error by 40% (0.97 km/h to 0.58 km/h).
