[4eyes] FW: [Faculty] REMINDER: CS Seminar: TODAY: Sven Dickinson

[Matthew Turk]

I hope you can all make it to Sven Dickinson's talk today at 4pm. Sven is
very well known and accomplished in the field of computer vision, especially
in object recognition, and he is planning to do a sabbatical at UCSB in
2010-2011.

Title: Object Categorization and the Need for Many-to-Many Matching

Speaker: Sven Dickinson
Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto

Abstract:

Object recognition systems have their roots in the AI community, and
originally addressed the problem of object categorization.  These
early systems, however, were limited by their inability to bridge the
representational gap between low-level image features and high-level
object models, hindered by the assumption of one-to-one correspondence
between image and model features.  Over the next thirty years, the
mainstream recognition community moved steadily in the direction of
exemplar recognition while narrowing the representational gap.  The
community is now returning to the categorization problem, and faces
the same representational gap as its predecessors did.  We review the
evolution of object recognition systems and argue that bridging this
representational gap requires an ability to match image and model
features many-to-many.  We review three formulations of the
many-to-many matching problem as applied to model acquisition and
object recognition.
