Title: Compressive Sensing for Computer Vision

 

Rama Chellappa

Minta Martin Professor of Engineering

University of Maryland, College Park, MD

 

The emerging theory of compressive sensing has immense implications for
designing novel computer

vision algorithms and systems. In this talk, I will discuss basic theory
behind compressive sensing and

present examples from computer vision. Specifically, I will discuss some
algorithms and systems for

generating fast video sequences from standard video sequences for periodic
and general motion and 2D/3D reconstructions from

sparse gradients. Related applications to face and iris recognition will
also be discussed.

 

Biography:

Prof. Rama Chellappa received the B.E. (Hons.) degree from the University of
Madras, India, in 1975 and the M.E. (Distinction) degree from Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore, in 1977. He received M.S.E.E. and Ph.D.
Degrees in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette,
IN, in 1978 and 1981 respectively. Since 1991, he has been a Professor of
Electrical Engineering and an affiliate Professor of Computer Science at
University of Maryland, College Park.  He is also affiliated with the Center
for Automation Research (Director) and the Institute for Advanced Computer
Studies (Permanent Member).  In 2005, he was named a Minta Martin Professor
of Engineering. Prior to joining the University of Maryland, he was an
Assistant (1981-1986) and Associate Professor (1986-1991) and Director of
the Signal and Image Processing Institute (1988-1990) at University of
Southern California, Los Angeles.  

Over the last 29 years, he has published numerous book chapters,
peer-reviewed journal and conference papers.  He has co-authored and edited
books on MRFs, face and gait recognition and collected works on image
processing and analysis.  His current research interests are face and gait
analysis, markerless motion capture, 3D modeling from video, image and
video-based recognition and exploitation and hyper spectral processing.
Prof. Chellappa has received several awards, including an NSF Presidential
Young Investigator Award, four IBM Faculty Development Awards, an Excellence
in Teaching Award from the School of Engineering at USC, two paper awards
from the International Association of Pattern Recognition, Society,
Technical Achievement and Meritorious Service Awards from the IEEE Signal
Processing Society, Technical Achievement and Meritorious Service Awards
from the IEEE Computer Society. At University of Maryland, he was elected as
a Distinguished Faculty Research Fellow, a Distinguished Scholar-Teacher,
received the Outstanding Faculty Research Award from the College of
Engineering, an Outstanding Innovator Award from the Office of Technology
Commercialization and an Outstanding GEMSTONE Mentor Award. Purdue
University recently recognized him with an Outstanding ECE Award. He is a
Fellow of the IEEE, the International Association for Pattern Recognition
and Optical Society of America

Prof. Chellappa served as the associate editor of four IEEE Transactions, as
a Co-Editor-in-Chief of Graphical Models and Image Processing and as an
Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine
Intelligence.  He served as a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Board of Governors and as its Vice President of Awards and Membership.  He
is serving a two-year term as the President of IEEE Biometrics Council.  He
has served as a General the Technical Program Chair for several IEEE
international and national conferences and workshops. He is a Golden Core
Member of IEEE Computer Society and served a two-year term as a
Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
