Invitation to Seminar with Prof. Mark Sheinin

[Dekel Galor]

Hi Everyone,

UCB's Photobears is excited to invite you to an upcoming seminar featuring Prof. Mark Sheinin from Weizmann. Mark will give a talk about his work on seeing beyond human capabilities. I highly recommend everyone interested in imaging and vision to join.

Time: Friday, April 25th, 1-2pm

Location: Soda 510

Please RSVP by April 23rd.

If you received a calendar invite, you can RSVP for food by specifying "yes in a meeting room". Otherwise fill this form.

Title: Computer Vision 2.0: seeing and understanding more than meets the eye

Abstract:
From minute surface vibrations to fast-occurring events, the world is rich with phenomena humans cannot perceive. Likewise, most computer vision systems are primarily based on 'conventional' cameras, designed to mimic the imaging principle of the human eye, and therefore are equally blind to these ubiquitous phenomena. The talk will cover various principles to capture such hidden phenomena and extract novel, obscure scene information by combining cutting-edge algorithms with emerging imaging technologies. Specifically, we'll discuss leveraging light diffraction for high-speed imaging, paint and track heat patterns on textureless objects for structure-from-motion, and capture tiny surface vibrations to infer scene audio, dynamic object locations, and high-level semantic object properties.  

Bio:
Mark Sheinin is an assistant professor at the Computer Science department at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Before that, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology in 2019. His work has received the Best Student Paper Award at CVPR 2017 and the Best Paper Honorable Mention Award at CVPR 2022. His research focuses on expanding the capabilities of computer vision beyond conventional imaging.
