Guest Talk Prof. Eddy Ilg - Fr Aug 19 2pmDear students, I have the great pleasure to announce a guest talk / lecture by a new colleague at UdS that will take place next week on Friday, Aug 19, at 2pm. The talk will be hybrid: Dear students, I have the great pleasure to announce a guest talk / lecture by a new colleague at UdS that will take place next week on Friday, Aug 19, at 2pm. The talk will be hybrid: Please find title, abstract and short bio enclosed below.
Obviously the content of the talk is not relevant for the exam - but in case you want to learn more about deep learning and computer cision
Title: 3D Representations for Deep Learning in Computer Vision Abstract: In the recent history of computer vision, methods leveraging deep learning and 3D representations have shown great success. The lecture will give an introduction to 3D computer vision, starting with the fundamentals of 3D reconstruction and providing an overview of state-of-the-art 3D scene and object representations with point clouds, surface- and density based approaches. The lecture will conclude with an outlook on the future direction of the field and an overview of the research of the new CVMP lab at Saarland University. Brief Bio: Eddy Ilg is a new professor at Saarland University and leads the Computer Vision and Machine Perception (CVMP) lab. He received his PhD from the University of Freiburg and is author of FlowNet, FlowNet 2.0 and FlowNetH, which were the first in their field. After his PhD, Eddy has spent three years at Facebook (now Meta) Reality Labs, focusing on 3D object reconstruction in the wild. He is now starting a new research group at Saarland University that will focus on 3D reconstruction in the combination with continual learning, with the goal of building future machine perception algorithms that are not rigid but able to adapt to their environment and evolve. looking forward to seeing you again next week cheers Bernt Schiele

High Level Computer Vision
Overview
This course will cover essential techniques for high-level computer vision. These techniques facilitate semantic interpretation of visual data, as it is required for a broad range of applications like robotics, driver assistance, multi-media retrieval, surveillance, etc. In this area, the recognition and detection of objects, activities, and visual categories have seen dramatic progress over the last decade. We will discuss the methods that have led to a state-of-the-art performance in this area and provide the opportunity to gather hands-on experience with these techniques.
