[Colloquium] 2/4 Talks at TTIC: Boxin Shi, Nanyang Technological University

[Mary Marre]

When:     Thursday, February 4th at 11:00 am

Where:    TTIC, 6045 S Kenwood Avenue, 5th Floor, Room 526

Who:       Boxin Shi, Nanyang Technological University

Title:      Camera Intelligence from Visual Computation and Sensor
Innovation




Abstract:

The performance of how machines understand the real world depends on
innovations in both visual computing algorithms and imaging sensor designs.
This talk will introduce several visual computing algorithms and systems
that complementarily integrate the merits of photometric methods in
computer vision for high-quality 3D modeling of real world scenarios (such
as complex material and natural illumination) and novel sensor designs in
computational photography for conquering the bottleneck of classic computer
vision problems (such as super resolution and high dynamic range imaging).
Ongoing projects and open problems in realizing camera intelligence will
also be discussed.

Bio:

Boxin Shi is currently a Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological
University and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Singapore University of
Technology and Design in 2015. Before moving to Singapore, he worked as a
Postdoctoral Fellow at the Camera Culture Group (with Prof. Ramesh Raskar),
Media Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2014.  Boxin earned his
Ph.D. degree in information science and technology from the University of
Tokyo (supervised by Prof. Katsushi Ikeuchi) in 2013. He has got his Master
of Engineering from Peking University and Bachelor of Engineering from
Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2010 and 2007
respectively. He has also worked as a Research Intern at Microsoft Research
Asia (mentored by Dr. Yasuyuki Matsushita) in 2009, 2010, and 2012, and as
a Research Engineer at National University of Singapore (with Prof. Ping
Tan) in 2011. His research interests are computer vision (photometric
methods, reflectance and illumination modeling, and 3D reconstruction) and
computational photography (super resolution, high dynamic range imaging,
and depth sensor).
