Enabling Saccadic Redirection Through Real-time Saccade Prediction

The paper Enabling Saccadic Redirection Through Real-time Saccade Prediction by Yashas Joshi and Charalambos Poullis has been accepted for publication in the Computer Games and Virtual Worlds journal. A provisional patent has been issued for this technology (Licensing contact: Axelys). A short video presentation of the technique is shown below.

Data leakage and Duplication in Benchmark Dataset

In a recent comprehensive analysis, we have uncovered substantial data leakage, duplication, and annotation discrepancies in the popular CrowdAI Mapping Challenge benchmark dataset, which has been extensively utilized for developing semantic segmentation and footprint extraction algorithms of buildings from satellite imagery. This revelation may call into question the validity of
