Topic: Computer Vision. This seminar will be given in 3169 Beckman Institute.

Subject Area

  • Graduate Seminar and Thesis Research

Description

In recent years, important breakthroughs have been made in computer vision. New vision problems have been addressed, and novel solutions to challenging classical problems have been proposed. These accomplishments have been made feasible by recent advances in statistical image modeling, linear-algebra techniques, graph/information-theoretic methods, and other methodologies. We will be reading an eclectic mix of classic and recent papers with the goal to become more familiar with some of these new techniques and methodologies. In particular, the course will survey recent developments in:

  1. Dimensionality reduction (PCA, ICA, LDA)
  2. Statistical graphical models (MRFs, CRFs, generative models)
  3. Discriminative learning and classifiers (AdaBoost, SVMs, Neural nets)
  4. Graph-theoretical approaches in vision (Graph matching, Spectral
    clustering)
  5. Feature extraction and selection (Filtering, SIFT, blobs, FOA,
    segmentation)
  6. 3D structure extraction and representation
