How to Make a Computer See the World Like a Human?

Prof. Rama Chellappa

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and UMIACS

University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA

時間: 11:30 - 12:30

地點: 浸會大學道校園教學及行政大樓3樓平台

摘要

Over the past five decades, scientists and engineers have struggled to design computers that can ingest data from one or more cameras and "understand" the world around them. While significant advances have been made in many areas, computers are not able to compete with humans in tasks such as object recognition. This talk will first outline the progress made in computer understanding of an object’s shape, texture, motion and its material. I will also present examples where computers can perform better than humans. The challenges that remain to be solved in designing a robust and practical computer vision system will then be outlined.

傳記

Prof. Rama Chellappa received the B.E. (Hons.) degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the University of Madras, India in 1975 and the M.E. (with Distinction) degree from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India in 1977. He received the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. Degrees in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, in 1978 and 1981 respectively. During 1981-1991, he was a faculty member in the department of EE-Systems at University of Southern California (USC). Since 1991, he has been a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and an affiliate Professor of Computer Science at University of Maryland (UMD), College Park. He is also affiliated with the Center for Automation Research, the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (Permanent Member) and is serving as the Chair of the ECE department. In 2005, he was named a Minta Martin Professor of Engineering. His current research interests are face recognition, clustering and video summarization, 3D modeling from video, image and video-based recognition of objects, events and activities, dictionary-based inference, compressive sensing, domain adaptation and hyper spectral processing.

Prof. Chellappa received an NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, four IBM Faculty Development Awards, an Excellence in Teaching Award from the School of Engineering at USC, and two paper awards from the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR). He is a recipient of the K.S. Fu Prize from IAPR. He received the Society, Technical Achievement and Meritorious Service Awards from the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He also received the Technical Achievement and Meritorious Service Awards from the IEEE Computer Society. At UMD, he was elected as a Distinguished Faculty Research Fellow, as a Distinguished Scholar-Teacher, received an Outstanding Innovator Award from the Office of Technology Commercialization, and an Outstanding GEMSTONE Mentor Award from the Honors College. He received the Outstanding Faculty Research Award and the Poole and Kent Teaching Award for Senior Faculty from the College of Engineering. In 2010, he was recognized as an Outstanding ECE by Purdue University. He is a Fellow of IEEE, IAPR, OSA and AAAS. He holds four patents.

Prof. Chellappa served as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. He has served as a General and Technical Program Chair for several IEEE international and national conferences and workshops. He is a Golden Core Member of the IEEE Computer Society and served as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Recently, he completed a two-year term as the President of the IEEE Biometrics Council.

Computer Science is Cool! -- Why?

Prof. Walter Gander

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich

摘要

In this talk we describe the fascination of computer science. The term "Computer Science" was coined 1963 by professor George Forsythe, the founder of the Computer Science Department at Stanford University in California. Since then the area has developed enormously. All other sciences have profited from this new science. "Computational Science and Engineering" has emerged as the "third mode of discovery" (next to theory and experimentation). We demonstrate a few examples for this development.
