Abstract

“Computer vision is the science and technology of making machines that see. It is concerned with the theory, design and implementation of algorithms that can automatically process visual data to recognize objects and to track and recover their shape and spatial layout. In this talk Prof Cippolla will review techniques for recovering accurate 3D copies of real objects and scenes from images from multiple (and single) views and their applications. “

Roberto Cipolla is a Professor of Information Engineering with research interests in computer vision and robotics which includes the recovery of motion and 3D shape of visible surfaces from image sequences; object detection and recognition; novel man-machine interfaces using hand, face and body gestures; real-time visual tracking for localisation and robot guidance; aplications of computer vision in mobile phones, visual inspection and image-retrieval and video search
