  1. Relations betweenAcademia and Industry Speaker: Rick Szeliski Organizer: David Lowe Wednesday, August 24th

  2. Computer Vision at Microsoft • Photo editing (stitching, PhotoFuse, GrabCut) • Photo Tourism → Photosynth • Maps: photogrammetry, stitching • Mobile recognition: product search, OCR • Mobile (computational) photography • Kinect • Medical image analysis (Amalga)

  3. Tech transfer at Microsoft “Classic” 3-stage push model: • Research papers (stitching, PhotoMontage, Grab Cut, Photo Tourism) • Prototype or incubation (ICE, GroupShot, Photosynth, Lincoln) • Product But also works other way (product pull): • Kinect (secret project, hand-selected researchers) • Amalga medical image analysis

  4. Microsoft - Academia • Microsoft Research Connections • Microsoft Research Faculty Fellows • Microsoft Research PhD Fellows • Internships • Faculty Summit

  5. Improving relations (I) • More accessible tutorials / teaching materials for non-researchers: • tutorials at conferences (will people attend?) • on-line courses, exercises • Better libraries: • standard libraries (like OpenGL) • free, non-commercial, commercial licenses • Researcher training: • efficient algorithms & coding (software engr.) • scenario-driven research • technical communications

  6. Improving relations (II) • More information flow industry → academia • panels at conferences • David’s list of computer vision companies • encourage groups to list of areas and open problems,e.g., http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/index.htm • Funding models and IP • tough one: lots of models, contracts vs. open gifts • fellowships (few), internships (many) • IP tricky both ways
