"Cortical vision from emergent global dynamics"

Ralf Wessel
Dept. of Physics, Washington University in St. Louis

Host: Michael Goard

 


The confusing thicket of connections between neurons renders the brain a
complex system. We have embarked on deducing how the subjective experience
of vision emerges from the interaction of billions of neurons. Picking up
mathematical tools from established studies of complexity, we infer
network properties from the statistics of neural activity in cerebral cortex
during visual processing. Specifically, I will present evidence for the
notion that brain circuits self-organize to operate at a point of optimized
signal processing, including during intense visual stimulation.

Message-ID: <028901d1d712$5abc5450$1034fcf0$@cs.ucsb.edu>

A local colleague of mine, Alex Meisel (an interesting guy who has a
licensing consultancy - see http://www.alexmeisel.com/), is looking for
someone interested in developing an AR application for wine labels. See the
email below - if you are interested in knowing more, please contact Alex
directly.

 

Cheers,

                Matthew

 

 

 

[..]

I wanted to reach out as an interesting opportunity has crossed my desk that
may be of interest to you, one of your students or past grads.  A wine label
printer has come to me with an interest in offering Augmented Reality labels
that would provide info about the vineyard, the product, etc.

 

I realize that your team is on more of an innovation and research
trajectory, but I thought I would check in to see if there are locals
interested in participating on the marketing side of this tech.  I have some
other resources to call on, but it is always good to see if there is a local
solution.

Host: Matthew Turk

The Computational Face - Novel approaches in an age of big data

Michel Valstar, University of Nottingham  


In this talk I will present recent advances in computer vision and machine learning made by my team at the University of Nottingham. I will also discuss recent progress in applying computer vision in HCI. The following topics will be addressed:

1). Behaviomedics - a novel area of using affective computing and social signal processing to help diagnose, monitor, and treat medical conditions that alter expressive behaviour, including recent work on automatic depression detection.

2). Face Alignment - discussing our ground-breaking work on direct-diplacement based point detection and incremental continuous cascaded regression for face tracking.

3). Facial Expression Analysis - our latest facial expression recognition research, including FERA 2015, our ICCV 2015 work on multi-task learning, and dynamic deep learning.

4). Seeing together - applying computer vision in HCI, in particular to develop novel interaction with augmented mirrors, and automatically augmenting maps in disaster response situations.


Michel Valstar (http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~mfv) is an associate professor at the University of Nottingham, and member of both the Computer Vision and Mixed Reality Labs. he was a Visiting Researcher at MIT's  Media Lab, received his masters' degree in Electrical Engineering at Delft University of Technology in 2005 and his PhD in computer science at Imperial College London in 2008.  Michel works in the fields of computer vision and pattern recognition, where his main interest is in automatic recognition of human behaviour, specialising in the analysis of facial expressions. He is the founder of the  facial expression recognition challenges (FERA 2011/2015/2017), and the Audio-Visual Emotion recognition Challenge series (AVEC 2011-2016). He is the coordinator of the EU Horizon2020 project ARIA-VALUSPA, which will build the next generation virtual humans, and recipient of Melinda & Bill Gates Foundation funding to help premature babies survive in the developing world. In 2007 he won the BCS British Machine Intelligence Prize for part of his PhD work. His work has received popular press coverage in, among others,  Science Magazine, The Guardian, New Scientist and on BBC Radio. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers at venues including PAMI, CVPR, ICCV, SMC-Cybernetics, and Transactions on Affective Computing (h-index 29, >3900 citations).

Hi everyone!

If the more experienced PhD students among you are looking for a 
professional service opportunity, please consider signing up as an 
external reviewer volunteer for ACM VRST (and other ACM SIGCHI 
conferences) at

http://www.precisionconference.com/~sigchi

I'm program chair for ACM VRST at the moment, which means that I will 
not be in a position to assign reviews myself, but if you sign up and 
your expertise matches the topics of submissions, program committee 
members will in all likelihood assign you some reviews. You can state 
how many reviews you are willing to take on as a maximum.

Cheers,

     Tobias

I recently learned that we just had the 50 year anniversary of the famous
computer vision project at MIT. Some people consider this to be a
ceremonial "birth" of computer vision.

The project task was simple to describe: recognize objects in an
image. Amazingly,
they thought this task was simple enough that it was assigned to
undergraduates as a summer project! Sounds suitable for an undergraduate in
1966 to solve object recognition in a few months, right? Fast forward 50
years and there is literally BILLIONS of dollars and thousands of people
working to solve this problem still.

The initial project outline is here. I found it interesting to read and
figured others may as well

This story has largely become accepted history (or at least accepted CV folklore), but the reality ? as told by Marvin Minsky (personally, to a class I was in) ? is that they were not so na?ve. The memo describes a specific early computer vision goal and project, not object recognition in general (or as some people tell the story, not computer vision in general). (Note the goal to construct ?a? significant part of ?a? vision system.) Undergraduate Gerald Sussman was put in charge of the summer project to bring in fresh eyes to the group and shake things up a bit.

 

It?s a good story ? but like most urban myths, only partially true!

 

By the way, the more appropriate ?birth? of computer vision is actually the 1963 PhD thesis of Larry Roberts at MIT (?Machine perception of three-dimensional solids?). (Larry Roberts went on to run the project at DARPA that invented the internet.)

 

Nevertheless? MIT?s Summer Vision Project is a great story, and it?s fascinating to see the progress since the 1960s. (And to note the many challenges ahead as well!)

I figured you would have some first-hand experience with this myth/story!

It will be interesting to see if years from now we hear similar fairy tale
rumors about the origins of AR/VR through people like Jaron Lanier, Steven
Feiner, Tom Caudell, Thomas Furness, and surely many many more.

If we start a catchy story about how 4 Eyes was the key to inventing VR
then maybe it will catch on and become accepted history in 30+ years? :)

I guess revving up the CBR and popping wheelies while flinging Pokeballs 
down the quad is out of the question.

Message-ID: <f0554b23-c645-3e78-6436-d8658cb4edc7@cs.ucsb.edu>


Hi everyone -

Siggraph is coming to a close today, and Dieter Schmalstieg will be 
visiting UCSB tomorrow. For those of you who don't know Dieter, here is 
his web page:
http://www.icg.tugraz.at/Members/schmalstieg

We gave a course on AR together last Sunday, with more than 350 people 
in the audience, which is not bad for SIGGRAPH Sunday. Dieter has a 
great group spanning AR and VR, real-time vision, InfoVis, and GPU 
computing at TU-Graz. There is lots of synergy with our lab, and I'd 
like for him to see as much of our work as possible.

We'll have a lab meeting tomorrow at 2pm, and Dieter has agreed to show 
some of his lab's recent results. This should be interesting! Hope you 
all can make it. Also, I'm hoping that you are available to demo our 
latest work to Dieter (either in the morning, or after the lab meeting.

Cheers,

     Tobias

In 2003 (or 3001) Elings.

As I said in my previous email, we'll have Dieter Schmalstieg visiting 
tomorrow, which should allow us to have interesting discussions on the 
future of VR and AR.
We'll do a little bit of a SIGGRAPH report as well, but likely we'll 
have a dedicated meeting for that next week.

Hope to see you all tomorrow!
Cheers,

     Tobias

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for organizing this.   I'd love to come to the meeting, but have to pickup Shayan from camp right around that time.   Would it be possible to move it back an hour, say 3pm?   If so, I can probably attend.

Also, if you guys are going to lunch, or if Dieter would be interested in meeting with me in the morning, that would be great.

Please let me know.

Best,

-Pradeep

Following up on today's mention of SIGGRAPH videos being freely available (you have to create a free account):

http://s2016.siggraph.org/live-streaming-sessions


The Real-Time Live session I mentioned today is online at

https://www.pathlms.com/siggraph/events/609/video_presentations/31754

The winning entry "From Previs to Final in 5 Minutes" starts at 1:05h into the stream.

The stream also contains an (underwhelming) demo of the upcoming Meta-2 AR headset and many other cool (and also some less impressive) demos.

Cheers,

    Tobias
