The Urban Intelligence (UI) paradigm conceived by CNR consists of an ecosystem of digital technologies joined within a Digital Twin (DT) of the city aimed at improving the city governance towards goals addressed also by the UN Agenda 2030, such as urban environment, sustainability and resilience, wellbeing and quality of life, local development, and social inclusion. In particular, UI provides a set of candidate policies in complex scenarios, and supports policy makers and stakeholders in designing shared, evidence-based, and integrated solutions. UI is being applied for the first time to two Italian cities, Matera and Catania, paving the way for a deeper scientific framing of the paradigm, as well as for the technological development and testing of the core UI ecosystem in real-life situations. The paper introduces the UI key-concepts and components, illustrates the ongoing experimentations in these pilot cities related to the development of two DTs on parts of the urban areas, and presents some initial results.

This paper aims to give an overview of the application of image processing to network traffic analysis, including a description of the essence of the most important works in the last 15 years. The importance of efficient, automated analysis of network traffic is growing especially today, when huge volumes of diverse data need to be quickly processed. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence in the field of image processing, it seems logical to use it for analyzing network traffic image data. Recent results on this topic are very promising.

This paper focuses on the performance optimization process for standalone virtual reality headsets. With the release of the Oculus Quest on May 2019, and its wide adoption, developing a VR application is not as simple as it used to be on regular PCVR headsets, which run on VR ready desktops powered by dedicated processors and graphics cards. The mobile processor of standalone headsets is much weaker than the ones on a dedicated VR computer. Therefore, heavy performance optimization is needed in order to run full scale applications on the Oculus Quest without facing application slow downs and performance drops. PlayBricks; A VR application running on the Oculus Quest using Unreal Engine 4 and C++, is developed to simulate real life LEGOs for architectural design and educational applications. The hardest problem faced in development is the performance problem, where the number of blocks the user places before the application starts slowing down is not enough to build anything meaningful. Through the optimization of the CPU, GPU and draw call threads, the paper reveals how the number of building blocks can be increased from 100 blocks to reach 12,000 blocks.
In this paper, we consider a retrial queue with batch Poisson input process, arbitrarily distributed service times and arbitrarily distributed number of calls in the batch. Upon arrival, a call from the batch occupies...

Disaster mitigation is a significant issue where modern wireless network systems are expected to play a crucial role. It is believed that Visual IoT is one of the key techniques because of its monitoring abilities of urban and rural areas. The outdoor Visual IoT systems generally transfer a large number of footage every day. To detect information from large-size footage datasets, automatic time subtractions between frames are effective. However, to extract even tiny difference between frames, camera shake causes a serious damage. In this study we first survey long-durational footage transmitted from outdoor cameras installed in a city to examine that the stabilization techniques based on feature keypoints are effective to camera shake. Based on this survey we define a matching index to judge if the stabilization is of use or not for every couple of frames. The index is implemented with help of a camera calibration library in OpenCV using AKAZE feature. We then propose a method to stabilize footage continuously obtained by outdoor Visual IoT systems. Using the matching index, we examine one-day footage to find that stabilization is occasionally not applicable in case when the matching index is relatively larger or smaller than 1 (when matching is complete) or the number of matching pairs using AKAZE keypoints are too few. According to the results we set a threshold value of the matching index. We finally perform this technique to footage recorded on a couple of strongly windy days. The efficiency is numerically and visually confirmed on each footage successfully.
As the globally increasing population drives rapid urbanisation in various parts of the world, there is a great need to deliberate on the future of the cities worth living. In particular, as modern smart cities embrac...
