Gareth Young This project will investigate whether multiple NVIDIA Jetson edge devices can collaboratively train and improve an AI occupancy-detection model without transferring raw video or image data between sites. The student will build and evaluate a federated learning setup in which devices train locally and contribute model updates to a shared global model, while accounting for … Read more
This project will investigate whether an AI-based occupancy detection system performs consistently across different demographic and environmental conditions. Using a commercial computer-vision model, the student will design and conduct an independent evaluation of person-detection performance across skin-tone groups and conditions such as lighting, occlusion, camera angle, distance, and background contrast. The project will involve dataset … Read more
