In this post, I would like to share my practice with Facebook’s new Detectron2 package on macOS without GPU support for street view panoptic segmentation. If you want to create the following video by yourself, this post is all you need. This demo video clip is from my car’s dashcam footages from Preston, Melbourne. I used the PyTorch and Detectron2 to create this video with segmentation masks.

You know in Australia there is a ‘Covidsafe app‘ for everyone.
The COVIDSafe app speeds up contacting people exposed to coronavirus (COVID-19). This helps us support and protect you, your friends and family. Please read the content on this page before downloading. At the end of the Australian COVID-19 pandemic, users will be prompted to delete the COVIDSafe app from their phone. This will delete all app information on a person’s phone. The information contained in the information storage system will also be destroyed at the end of the pandemic.
Here is the introduction video:
So, all those descriptions are trying to tell your information is safe and your privacy is protected with this app. By the way, the COVIDSafe app is the only contact tracing app approved by the Australian Government. I think this means it is the first official one.
This post is for viewers who want to understand a little bit deeper technical details about the technology used in this app. I will quote the document from Apple and keep it as simple as possible. I am not an IOS developer. I am just as curious as you, trying to understand how it measures the risk. And I am not sure if the COVIDSafe app used apple’s framework, LOL~
My only sources are from the webpages of the Australian Government Department of Health and Apple [iOS Framework Document] Exposure Notification April 2020. You can click these Keywords to learn more background knowledge around this app: COVIDSafe, Mesh Network; GDPR; DP3T; Beacon.
So, according to Apple’s document, the following diagram illustrates the general format of Exposure Risk Level Calculation:
Exposure Risk Level Parameters
Exposure Risk Level Parameter Weights (A, B, C, D)

This post is following upgrade with respect to the early post How to Build an Artificial Intelligent System (I) The last one is focused on introducing the six phases of the building an intelligent system, and explaining the details of the Problem Assesment phase.
In the following content, I will address the rest phases and key steps during the building process. Readers can download the keynotes here: Building an Intelligent System with Machine Learning.

Phase 1: Problem assessment – Determine the problem’s characteristics.
The process of building Intelligent knowledge-based system has been called knowledge engineering since the 80s. It usually contains six phases: 1. Problem assessment; 2. Data and knowledge acquisition; 3. Development of a prototype system; 4. Development of a complete system; 5. Evaluation and revision of the system; 6. Integration and maintenance of the system [1].

The computations required for Deep Learning research have been doubling every few months, resulting in an estimated 300,000x increase from 2012 to 2018. AI could account for as much as one-tenth of the world’s electricity use by 2025 according to this article [1].
Thanks to the Editors and Board of WIREs for supporting me. As an independent reviewer, I will be fair to everyone and never give in to the “scientific mafia” and “citation cartels”.

Road from Above is partly based on my Australia Postgraduate Intern Projects (Computer Vision and Machine Learning for Feature Extraction) within Aureon Group in Melbourne.
Aurecon’s experts, across Cape Town, Melbourne and Auckland offices, have been teamed up to develop and test approaches that capture and validate new and existing measurements of the metropolitan road network. Due to the confidentiality, we reduced the resolutions of the aerial images and only opened limited results on the public domain at https://roadsfromabove.netlify.com/. Thanks to Greg More, the design of this website got the best feedback from the workshop (Visualization for AI Explainability) of the IEEE VIS 2018 conference in Berlin, Germany
Visualization for AI Explainability: Projections and Dimensionality Reduction. The goal of this workshop is to initiate a call for “explainable” that explain how AI techniques work using visualizations. We believe the VIS community can leverage their expertise in creating visual narratives to bring new insight into the often obfuscated complexity of AI systems.
When I am using TensorFlow on my MacBook Air, I always get annoyed by the warnings comes from nowhere, so I followed the documentation below to build TensorFlow sources into a TensorFlow binary and installed it successfully. In theory, this will make the TF running faster on my machine.
Here is the document:
If you are a Mac user, you could download the TF binary from here:
Then, you could use conda to initialize an environment with Python=3.6 and install TF by typing:
sudo pip install tensorflow-1.8.0-py2-none-any.whl
