Talk on "The Ultimate Video Camera" by Prof. Kyros kutulakos

We are pleased to inform you about the upcoming seminar by Prof. Kyros kutulakos, Professor, University of Toronto titled:"The Ultimate Video Camera" Everyone interested is cordially invited to attend!

Title:

The Ultimate Video Camera

Abstract:

Over the past decade, advances in image sensor technologies have transformed the 2D and 3D imaging capabilities of our smartphones, cars, robots, drones, and scientific instruments. As these technologies continue to evolve, what new capabilities might they unlock? I will discuss one possible point of convergence---the ultimate video camera---which is enabled by emerging single-photon image sensors and photon-processing algorithms. We will explore the extreme imaging capabilities of this camera within the broader historical context of high-speed imaging systems, highlighting its potential to capture the physical world in entirely new ways.

Speaker's bio:

Prof. Kyros kutulakos, Professor, University of Toronto

Prof. Kyros Kutulakos is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto and an expert in computational imaging and computer vision. His research over the past decade has focused on combining programmable light sources, sensors, optics and algorithms to create cameras with unique capabilities---from seeing through scatter and looking around corners to capturing surfaces with complex material properties robustly in 3D. He is currently leading efforts to harness the potential of technologies such as single-photon cameras and programmable-pixel image sensors for applications in extreme computer vision and scientific imaging. Kyros is a recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, an NSF CAREER Award, and eight paper awards at ICCV, CVPR and ECCV, including two Marr Prizes (2023 and 1999), a Marr Prize Honorable Mention in 2005, and the CVPR Best Paper Award in 2019.
