Speaker:Daniel Vaquero, PhD, University of California, Santa Barbara

Abstract

We present novel camera technology that explores contextual
information silently gathered while the user is attempting to frame a
shot. The camera employs computer vision and computational photography
techniques to automatically generate a wide range of interesting and
compelling photo suggestions. Applications include improving the
aesthetic quality of photographs taken by the user, as well as
explorations in media arts created by combining multiple images. Our
technology can be integrated into current point-and-shoot cameras, and
it effectively expands the photographic possibilities for casual and
amateur users, who often rely on automatic camera modes.

Bio

Daniel Vaquero received a PhD degree from the Department of
Computer Science, University of California, Santa Barbara. Throughout
his doctoral studies, Daniel held research internship positions at
Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, IBM Research, and the Nokia
Research Center, where he worked on novel computational photography
and surveillance techniques. Daniel's research has been featured in
major Computer Vision and Graphics conferences, such as CVPR, ICCV and
SIGGRAPH. His interests span topics in computer vision, graphics, and
image processing, with applications in computational photography and
visual surveillance.
