Dear All,
May we kindly remind you of the „UHH Informatik Kolloquium" today,
14.11.2016 at 17:15 (B-201). Prof. Frintrop and the colloquium committee
is looking forward to seeing you all there and to sharing this talk with
you (please see also the initial invitation below).
Best regards
On behalf of the colloquium committee

>ABSTRACT:
>
>The amount of digital images in our daily live has grown exponentially
>during the last years, cameras are low-cost sensors which are present
>everywhere, and billions of images are daily shared on social media. Also
>the industrial interest in methods for digital image and video processing
>is increasing strongly. As a consequence, the need for algorithms that
>automatically improve, analyze, and
>interpret images also rises more and more. Fortunately, the research field
>of computer vision has also advanced strongly during the last decade and
>many things which were not feasible a few years ago are suddenly
>achievable. However, when it comes to seemingly simple daily live
>questions such as "how many objects are on this table?", current systems
>reach their limits and it shows that the human visual system still
>outperforms machines clearly.
>
>In my research group, we focus on biologically inspired methods for
>computer vision. That means, we develop algorithms that follow mechanisms
>of human vision, outgoing from psychophysical and neurobiological
>findings. Topics of our research include the detection of saliency in
>images and the discovery of objects. We focus on methods for mobile
>systems, such as wearable cameras or autonomous service robots.
