Modeling and Estimating Non-rigid Image Deformation
Event Location: NSH 1305Abstract: Non-rigid deformations of surfaces and volumes result in complex distortions in images. Modeling deformation can help better understand such real-world phenomena and extract useful information about the scenes. This is closely related to many core vision tasks, such as image alignment, matching, tracking, detection and recognition. Modeling deformation remains challenging because [...]
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 [...]

Distributed Algorithms for Constrained Multi-robot Dynamic Task Assignment with Formal Performance Guarantees
Event Location: NSH 1305Abstract: The task assignment problem is one of the fundamental combinatorial optimization problems. It has been extensively studied in operation research, management science, computer science and robotics. In multi-robot systems (MRS), there are various applications of task assignment, such as environmental monitoring, search and rescue, disaster response, extraterrestrial exploration, sensing data collection [...]

Fast and Graceful Balancing Mobile Robots
Event Location: NSH 1305Abstract: Personal mobile robots will soon be operating and closely interacting with us in human environments. Balancing mobile robots can be effective personal robots as they can be tall enough for eye-level interaction and narrow enough to navigate cluttered environments, and they also have the dynamic capabilities to move with speed and [...]
