Subject: [4eyes] Dataset project
Message-ID: <5727ADA4.5070109@cs.ucsb.edu>

Hi all,

For those of you who are looking to get more involved with the lab, I
have a project you could work on, if you are interested.

I am working on scene reconstruction and novel view generation, and
could use a ground-truth dataset for some tests and evaluation. I need
someone to help create this dataset. This would be a synthetic dataset
of natural-looking scenes, so some experience with (or desire to learn)
game engines (e.g. Unreal, Unity) or 3D modeling/rendering software
(e.g. Blender) would be ideal (NOTE: you don't need to be able to make
new 3D objects, just assembling existing assets should be enough). Other
than creating the different scenes, there would also need to be an easy
automatic way of generating data from these scenes. These data would be
collections of images capturing different views of the scene, along with
the camera poses and depth information for each image.

Please let me know if the above description sounds interesting to you,
and I can give you more detailed information.

Thanks,

- Domagoj

Hi lab -

where did these NVidia cards that we borrowed from the Allosphere end 
up? We need to return one of these to the Allosphere research group.
We can just order a modern GPU in exchange. Suggestions on what to get?
Cheers,

     Tobias

Message-ID: <CAGEqvmKH_5tP9c9oBVWAvZ8eBut2wbVzT+QOfS=fv2wSMmpQFQ@mail.gmail.com>

* Apologies for cross-posting. Original announcement here
<http://goo.gl/JKnOyE>: http://goo.gl/JKnOyE *

The Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing
<http://publishing.sfu.ca/research/> is soliciting applications for a
postdoctoral fellowship on a SSHRC-funded project entitled ?Understanding
the societal impact of research through social media.?

As the communication of research increasingly takes place on social media
platforms, there is enormous potential to capture and analyze digital
traces left by scholars. This offers, for the first time, the opportunity
to study?using both quantitative and qualitative methods?the processes of
knowledge dissemination and co-creation between academia and the public.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, this project asks: What is the nature
and extent of societal impact of research that can be observed through the
public?s engagement with research on social media?

Led by Juan Pablo Alperin <http://alperin.ca/> (Simon Fraser University),
the team brings together the two main poles of research on scholarly
communication in Canada: the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and the
Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing at Simon Fraser University, as
well as the Canada Research Chair on the Transformations of Scholarly
Communication at the Universit? de Montr?al (Stefanie Haustein and Vincent
Larivi?re). Collaborators also include the UQAM Research Chair on Digital
Technologies Uses and Changes in Communication (Florence Millerand) and the
Simon Fraser University School of Communication (Katherine Reilly).

*Target start date:* July 1st, 2016 (flexible)
*Duration:* one year, renewable
*Salary:* Commensurate with experience
*Location:* Simon Fraser University, Canada (Downtown Vancouver Campus)
*Deadline for applications:* Open until filled. For full consideration,
apply by June 1st, 2016

Applicants should send a CV, cover letter, statement of research interest
(1 page), as well as the names and contact information of 2 references to
Dr. Juan Pablo Alperin (juan at alperin.ca).

I just added a new one, by the way. I?d like a student (or some students) to explore the Microsoft Cognitive Services APIs (https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services), provide a summary of their capabilities and limitations, and make some demos available using these. Particularly the Vision and Speech APIs.

THE REALITY OF VIRTUAL REALITY

By. Luis Blackaller

/

MONDAY. MAY. 9th ? 4pm ? Engineering Science Building (room 2001)

 

/

In this talk, the author explores his own experience working as a creative director in a virtual reality studio.

 

/

Luis Blackaller is a writer, director, designer and media artist from Mexico City. He has a multidisciplinary background that covers aspects of entertainment, science, design, art and visual storytelling. He earned a BS with honors as a mathematician in the UNAM, and graduated  as a character animator from the Vancouver Film School. With more than twelve years of experience in the Mexican film and television industry, Luis has worked as a designer, art director, motion graphics artist and storyboard artist among academy award winners in films like Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel. In 2008, Luis earned a MS from the MIT Media Lab under the mentorship of John Maeda, where he designed and developed interactive software systems and tools to study the spread of user generated content online, alternate revenue models, and online creative social systems and their relationship with artistic expression and communication. As a MIT student, he attended writing workshops with Junot Diaz and Joe Haldeman, received character design and world building training from Frank Espinosa, and learned transmedia methods with Henry Jenkins. After graduating from MIT, Luis worked as producer and creative director for several research initiatives at MIT, where he designed and supervised the execution of alternative strategies of communication and promotion of research with the help of documentary videographers and web developers. More recently, Luis can be found in Venice, California, where he holds the position of Creative Director at WEVR. During his tenure at WEVR, he has developed, shot and post-produced more cinematic virtual reality than almost anyone in the world, contributing  to define the new sensibilities, visual language and production techniques that are pushing forward the emerging medium of VR.

I'm getting a tour of MOXI (formerly known as the Santa Barbara Children's

not yet sure how many people they can take, but probably a few. If you're
interested in joining me, please let me know ASAP.

 

It's not actually open yet, so this is a walkthrough of the building to see
its current state.

Hi,


Just a little more information about the data.  I will be recording 1 minute of accelerometer and gyroscope data by accessing a webpage on the browser.  This is something that any webpage can do and requires no permissions.  I will also write down the model number so I know if it is an iPad mini 2, or 1st generation iPad etc.  It'll take less than 5 minutes.


Best,


Hannah

FYI, interesting email from Gary Bradski (founder of OpenCV, currently with Magic Leap) below.

Subject: OpenCV.ai hiring

 

All (many Bcc'd) 

 

EXEC SUM:

We are trying to hire up a small team of super coders in vision to make the "out of the box" experience of software+camera+compute (smart cameras) just work to accelerate the field by making sensing completely parameterisable (# of cameras, timing relationships, exposure relationships, lens or lenses, all simple to configure and work with). We want to step vision up another notch for everyone. But we need damn good people/coders, just a few, to do this. Send them to us please! We have lots of hardware partners to complement the effort!

 

WHY:

I've decided to form a for profit vision company around, and in support of, OpenCV (library will still be free and open). The reason is to further the mission of OpenCV to bring visual intelligence to the world by bringing an inexpensive professional development to people along with a pipeline to product for us and everyone else. OpenCV will remain free and open with better support, the development platform will itself be an open spec.

 

WHO:

Ethan Rublee, CC'd will be CEO. He was a co-founder of Industrial Perception, the robotics company we sold to Google. He's leaving Google X to run OpenCV.ai, and is, what is known colloquially as, a super producer.

 

Gary Bradski is co-founder, a funder, advisor, board member.

 

We have a guy, "Jack" in China. You don't know him. He's a vision business savvy guy there.

 

BACKGROUND:

Computer vision cameras, drivers and SW involve too much effort to get to an effective baseline. The cameras and lenses are too limiting. Time to change that.

 

GOAL:

So, OpenCV.ai is going to open with teams in the US and China with the goal of becoming the computer vision platform of choice on which we and others will build products.

 

WHAT:

*	Build an inclusive kernel, Linux+OpenCV+embedded deep+eigen+opencl+opengl, wedded and optimized with "OpenCV Certified" hardware makers (cameras + compute = smart cameras) multi-smart camera development system (for $ale, but cheap), that

*	Provides great "out of the box" vision experience.

*	Just works, no other dependencies, great API
*	calibrates, syncs, phases with other cameras
*	does geometric vision well
*	provides lots of baseline functionality
*	easily ingestes and runs deep nets trained by your favorite deep net engines

*	Drives 6 or more cameras per board, dozens of such boards can be put together and will sync, phase control as they are linked together.

*	Experiment, print

*	Smart cameras, linked together are already a super computer.
*	Develop straight on the camera/camera array. Chrome cast the results to your "computer". When you are done, it is already running on your target platform
*	Via "OpenCV Certified" relationships with hardware makers, you can just "print off" one or 1000's of products related to what you did on the development boards.
*	Market place of licensable best of class other algorithms, deep nets.

*	Make working with depth cameras, configurations of many cameras and especially working with light fields trivial/common. All those lost lightfield papers of the 90s will come back!
*	Students will do more interesting research when it is trivial to deploy more interesting vision systems.
*	OpenCV.ai together with others will build capabilities and products on top of it all.

QUAL:

This isn't a call to see which student, yet to find themselves, might procure employment. Ethan needs a few people around him who can code and hardware hack at his level. His level is high. Extremely so.

 

Let Ethan or myself know.

 

We, and vision, thank you!

 

Gary

Subject: [4eyes] Tibor Goldschwendt's M.S. Defense tomorrow (Mon), 10:00am
Message-ID: <57389C0D.8000402@cs.ucsb.edu>


Hi everybody -

Tibor Goldschwendt, who did his MS research at the Four Eyes Lab and 
with the Allosphere Research Group, will defend his MS thesis 
presentation tomorrow, Monday, May 16th. His M.S. is with the 
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) Munich, Germany, but he will do 
his defense here at UCSB since he did the research here and since his 
LMU supervisor, Prof. Andreas Butz, is also currently here on a 
Sabbatical visit.

Date: Monday, May 16th
Time: 10:00am -11:00am
Place: 3001 Elings Hall (above MAT conference room)

Due course of this thesis AlloStreamer framework has been designed, 
implemented
and applied to a user study. AlloStreamer allows the full surround 
simulation of mixed
reality in the AlloSphere, a spherical display of the University of 
California, Santa Barbara. Allo-
Streamer, thus, contributes to the simulation of mixed reality in a 
virtual world, which resembles
the intended real world usage environment as close as possible. In the 
user study AlloStreamer has
been employed to examine the transfer of mixed reality training. More 
specifically, the user study
addressed the question, in which virtual reality the training of 
firefighters to deal with bushfires is
most effective. The user studies considered three training scenarios, 
which differed in the applied
field of regard: (i) a circular 60? representation, (ii) a rectangular 
representation with 240? ? 60?
and (ii) a full surround representation. The user study has shown that 
the training is less effective
the more restricted is the field of regard. The results of the user 
study suggest that this kind of
training necessitates a field of regard as complete as possible.

A demonstration of the implemented system will be given in the 
AlloSphere after the thesis presentation.

Everyone welcome!

Hi All,
 I sent this to the student/jobs list earlier, but it might be of specific
interest to some lab folks:  Continental are in downtown SB and do cool
stuff with 3D Lidar technology for (automotive) driver assistance.   They
have a few different openings at the moment.

They will be at the career fair TODAY at 1pm, and then at ESB1001 for an
info session from 5.30-7.30.

See details and attached flier below.

Thanks,
 -John

Hello John,

Fritz sent over your information to me as someone who could help us spread
the word on campus about our upcoming attendance.

We would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word for us. We will
be at UCSB on the 18th for the career fair and then later in the day will
be hosting an info session. We have 4 internship openings that will be
posted by next week as well as several entry level engineer positions in
Software, Systems Requirement and Testing.

I hope you're well - thank you for your help.

I don't know if you guys were aware, but Alexis and I just had a
magnificent collaboration in one of the top festivals for the sharing
economy, Ouishare Fest <http://ouisharefest.com>. We created a Hack and
Dance where people prototyped devices for the sharing economy in the
developing world, and then had opportunity to use their devices
artistically in a collaborative dance performance. The latter part
connected with people performing artists in California, Paris, and Mexico,
making full use of MAT's  installations for remote collaborations.  It was
a great collaboration between UCSB MAT, West Virginia University, and
UNAM.  I believe we mixed technology and art very nicely, and showed the
strengths of our universities.

Kudos to Alexis for the magnificent work!

Message-ID: <00ef01d1b60a$5a6d5d60$0f481820$@cs.ucsb.edu>

We're rather last-minute in getting a brochure together (to hand out, and to
put on the lab's website) for the open house. Is anyone available to help
make this happen between now and Friday afternoon? Jay has a template we've
used before that might be helpful (though he's traveling, and I'm not sure
if he's accessible right now). Last year's version is on our website at
http://ilab.cs.ucsb.edu/OpenHouse2015/. 

 

Please let us know if you can do this. It would involve taking the
information we already have assembled, getting a picture for each project
from the project owners, and formatting it all nicely. (And printing them
from the lab's printer.)

 

Thanks,

                Matthew and Tobias

Hi Matthew and Kuo-Chin,

Please find attached the templates from 2015.
The original template is in ?.key" (Apple KeyNote) format. So I attached pptx export instead.

Please let me know if you have any questions (I might not be able to respond immediately though.)

Thanks!
Jay

p.s. You need to download a few extra fonts used in the template to maintain the original design. Feel free to change it as you like.

Message-ID: <f10a4c73-cab9-4ab0-8f5e-6d90eb7fbf2d@cs.ucsb.edu>


Hi everyone -

I'd like to coordinate the setup and preparation for the Open House 
tomorrow (which, as you all know, has it's main public event from 5pm to 
9pm in the evening).

I'd like us to be ready and have all the stations decided in the morning 
before noon.

I just talked the general layout over with John, and we think that the 
visualization/social computing demos should go in the hallway, and the 
AR demos in 3001. We can be flexible if we get good ideas about on how 
to best channel people through and how to make sure we have good foot 
traffic everywhere.

There will be a table with snacks and drink on the third floor, so 
hopefully that will attract some people!

Cheers,

     Tobias

Message-ID: <02c101d1ba8e$4ff89ab0$efe9d010$@cs.ucsb.edu>

Many thanks to everyone who participated in Friday's Open House and End of
Year Show!! We had many enthusiastic attendees of all ages learning about
the wide range of research we do and the fun toys we get to play with. It's
a lot of work to put these together, but well worth the effort - some kid
may end up majoring in CS or deciding to go to graduate school because of
our open house, or it may have sparked a new collaboration, or a new startup
idea, or any number of other positive outcomes.

 

Mohit Hingorani shared a few pictures of the 3rd floor activities here:

We have a prospective PhD student visiting today. I will probably drop him off at the lab sometime around 1:30 or 2:00pm, and I?m hoping someone will be around to chat with him. Is anyone around (Foglab and/or trailer) and available?

 

Thanks,

                Matthew

Dear Mathew,

 

Thank you for your response and for offering to talk to me, I really appreciate it. I am planning to visit LA during the long weekend, tentative dates are May 27th-June 5th. I hope that works for you. I hope you feel better soon, I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for your time and attention.

 

Best regards,

Piergiorgio

Piergiogio,

 

I?d be happy to talk with you while you?re in the area if I?m available. My June plans are still very uncertain (I have some as-yet-unscheduled travel and a shoulder surgery), but let me know when you expect to be available and we?ll see if we can coordinate a visit. 

 

Regards,

                Matthew

Dear Dr. Turk,

 

My name is Piergiorgio Lanza. I am a prospective international student from Italy and I am interested in applying to the Ph.D program at UCSB for the Fall of 2017. I read your research profile as I was looking into the UCSB program and wanted to contact you as I am interested in applying end of this year.

 

Currently, I am working for Thales Alenia Space Company (Italy) as an Avionic Engineer. I have over 25 years of experience, my experiences as an engineer include space applications: feasibility studies; to the International Space Station facilities (EDR); and future prototypes. I was involved in different technological areas such as radiofrequency, on board computers, optical links, robotic, as well as digital image processing. In the last ten years, I worked in the field of digital image processing in particular for robotic applications, Entry Descent Landing algorithm and Rendezvous.

 

Besides working at Thales Alenia Space the last four years I have also been involved in teaching. I have taught Data Mining and Knowledge Management in Europe in the specific course of Image Data Mining. Last year in the Winter quarter of 2015 I was invited to teach at the California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA) as a visiting Professor where I have taught the following courses:Digital Image Processing, Digital Signal Processing, DSP Lab, and Digital Communication.

 

Over the years I have really enjoyed teaching and I am very interested in the area of image processing. I would like to further my knowledge in the Image Processing subject by applying for a PhD position. After the completion of the doctoral program, I want to transition into a full-time teaching career in the field of image processing. I am very interested in the Ph.D. program at UC Santa Barbara and would like to know if I can have an opportunity to meet with you in person in the near future. Your work in the area of image processing has been very insightful. Your article with Pentland still remains a milestone in the image-processing field. This is made me contact you directly. It is my interest to increase my knowledge in computer vision, multi view geometry and human computer interaction.  Your interest in the interdisciplinary approach is something I find common to my interest as well.  My specific interest is to find ways to apply different techniques and algorithms of image processing to the old masterpieces of Renaissance paintings, manuscript, and/or ancient books.

 

In this email I am attaching a short bio and my CV with a list of my few publications. I am planning to visit Los Angeles in June to meet my fianc?e. During this time of my visit, it would be a great honor if I can have an opportunity to meet with you in person. I would like to talk to you about the Ph.D. program. I would like to make an appointment with you if your schedule allows. 

 

 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your thoughts and hearing from you soon. 

 

Best Regards,

Piegiorgio Lanza

I'm on campus, currently waiting in line for something, and can hopefully
be back in the foglab by that time...
