News in brief

Computer recognises crooked road signCrooked and damaged road signs can be recognised quickly, using an improved version of an old mathematical algorithm, the Laplace kernel classifier.

Pavel Paclík, a research fellow at TU Delft’s Pattern recognition group, developed, together with his Czech colleagues, a computer program that can also detect the differences in road signs that exist between various European countries. The children on the ‘beware-of-children’ sign, for example, carry bags in some countries; in other countries they don’t. The program recognises road signs by comparing separate characteristics of the signs, like the number of colours, and calculating the centre of gravity of the picture.

Airport Development Centre founded

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology are interested in the Dutch problem of ‘sustainable’ decision-making in heavily populated urban areas. ‘Holland is their testing ground. They see their own future problems already appearing’, says Professor Guus Berkhout, co-founder of the Airport Development Centre. This Centre, in which TU Delft works together with MIT, Schiphol Airport, KLM and various Dutch aviation research institutes, aims to develop concepts for airports that can handle the growing number of aeroplanes in a sustainable manner.
