IMSC Student Council Presents Speaker Series VII
The IMSC Student Council Presents Speaker Series VII - "Human Activity Understanding from Video Sensors", held on Friday, 9 March, 12:00pm-1:00pm in SAL 101.
Isaac Cohen is a researcher at the USC Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems and IMSC. His current research interests in computer vision are video segmentation, detection and tracking of moving objects, and postures and gestures recognition.
The increasing availability of video sensors in daily life environments have motivated many applications related to human activity monitoring. Dr. Cohen will discuss the automatic inference of spatio-temporal constructs from video data in two contexts:
-Video surveillance, where human activity understanding relies on accurate detection and tracking of the moving objects in the scene
-Vision-based user interfaces, where human postures and gestures are important for understanding user activity and interaction
Everyone is welcome, and there will be free pizza and soda!
