Simulating global motion detection in Macaque visual cortex and it’s application to optical flow
Event Location: GHC2109Bio: Michael Furlong is a Ph.D candidate in the Field Robotics Center working on science autonomy.Abstract: Pattern cells in area V5/MT represent an intriguing step in the visual hierarchy, whereby neurons become sensitive to global motion, rather than simply to the motion of constituent components, cells in the primary visual cortex (V1). A [...]
RatSLAM: Using Models of Rodent Hippocampus for Robot Navigation
Event Location: GHC2109Bio: I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Queensland, awarded in 2006 and 2002 respectively. I recently joined the Queensland University of Technology as Lecturer, having previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at QUT and before that for three years as a Research [...]
Advancing Computer Vision by Leveraging Humans
Event Location: NSH 1305Abstract: Historically, humans have played a limited role in advancing the challenging problem of computer vision: either by designing algorithms in their capacity as researchers or by acting as ground-truth generating minions. This seems rather counter-productive since we often aim to replicate human performance (e.g. in semantic image understanding) and are faced [...]
Talk 1: Factorized Graph Matching Talk 2: Generalized Time Warping for Multi-modal Alignment of Human Motion
Event Location: NSH 1305Abstract: Talk #1 Graph matching plays a central role in solving correspondence problems in computer vision. Graph matching problems that incorporate pair-wise constraints can be cast as a quadratic assignment problem (QAP). Unfortunately, QAP is NP-hard and many algorithms have been proposed to solve different relaxations. This paper presents factorized graph matching [...]
Talk #1: The M-Best Mode Problem: Extracting Diverse M-Best Solutions from Graphical Models Talk #2 (CVPR Practice Talk): Model Recommendation for Action Recognition Talk #3 (CVPR Practice Talk): Occlusion Reasoning for Object Detection under Arbitrary Viewpoint
Event Location: NSH 3305Abstract: **Pizza Lunch will be served at 1:00pm** Talk #1 (starting at 12:00pm) The M-Best Mode Problem: Extracting Diverse M-Best Solutions from Graphical Models Dhruv Batra, Research Assistant Professor TTI-C Abstract: A large number of problems in computer vision, computational biology and robotics can formulated as the search for the most probable [...]
Inheriting and Evolving the Infrastructure for Systems and Devices of Humanoid and Home Assistance
Event Location: NSH 1305Bio: Masayuki Inaba is a Professor at the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology at the University of Tokyo. He received B.S of Mechanical Engineering in 1981, M.S and Dr. Degrees of Information Engineering from The University of Tokyo in 1983 and 1986 respectively. He was appointed as a lecturer in [...]
