One of the most amazing functions of the human auditory system is the ability to detect all kinds of sound events in the environment. With the technologies and hardware advances, polyphonic Sound Event Detection (SED) can be developed to mimic the ability of the human auditory system. However, the development of a SED system is no trivial task, and several different factors often hinder accuracy. Although there are several overview papers available, most of them only provide a theoretical overview of algorithms used with little discussion. Thus, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there is no comprehensive review that covers this particular domain. Therefore, this paper aims to provide an in-depth discussion of different methodologies proposed by various authors that include the features used, detection algorithms, and their corresponding accuracy and limitations. Additional information on possible trends is also discussed that can be useful for future development works.
With the concept of Internet-of-Things, autonomous vehicles can provide higher driving efficiency, traffic safety, and freedom for the driver to perform other tasks. This paper first covers enabling technology involving a vehicle moving out of parking, traveling on the road, and parking at the destination. The development of autonomous vehicles relies on the data collected for deployment in actual road conditions. Research gaps and recommendations for autonomous intelligent vehicles are included. For example, a sudden obstacle while the autonomous vehicle executes the parking trajectory on the road is discussed. Several aspects of social problems, such as the liability of an accident affecting the autonomous vehicle, are described. A smart device to detect abnormal driving behaviors to prevent possible accidents is briefly discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
