Názov: How Much Do Billboards Distract Drivers? A Computer Vision Approach
Termín: 20.4.2026, 13:10 hod., I/9
Abstrakt:
Roadside billboards are a common element of outdoor advertising, but they may also distract drivers and increase accident risk. Understanding how much attention these billboards attract is important for both traffic safety and urban planning.
In this work, we propose a fully automated system that detects billboards in street images and estimates how long a driver is likely to look at them, without requiring manual annotations or specialized eye-tracking equipment. The approach combines modern computer vision techniques for object detection with machine learning models that analyze visual features and spatial information within the scene. Our method achieves high accuracy in identifying billboards and provides reliable estimates of driver gaze duration from individual images. We validate the approach on public datasets and additional real-world imagery.
More broadly, this work reflects our interest in using AI models to extract and interpret meaningful signals from visual data, which connects to our research in medical image analysis and explainable AI.
