  1. Seminar on Media Technology Computer Vision • Albert Alemany Font

  2. Outlines • Introduction • What is computer vision and why this topic • History of computer vision and related disciplines • Applications • Face/smile detection, OCR, object recognition, medical imaging, ... • Conclusions • References

  3. What is computer vision? • Traffic scene • Number of vehicles • Type of vehicles • Location of closest obstacle • Assessment of congestion • Location of the scene captures • ... Given an image or more, extract properties of the 3D world

  4. Related disciplines

  5. History of computer vision • 1950′s – Two dimensional imaging for statistical pattern recognition developed • 1960′s – Roberts begins studying 3D machine vision • 1970′s – MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab opens a "Computer Vision" course • 1980’s – New theories and concepts emerging. Shift toward geometry and increased mathematical rigor • 1990’s – Face recognition. Statistical analysis in vogue • 2000’s – Broader recognition. Large annotated datasets available. Video processing starts

  6. Finding people in images "Yes" instances

  7. Finding people in images "No" instances

  8. Face detection Face detection in digital cameras • The camera detects faces in a scene and then automatically focus (AF) and optimizes exposure (AE) and, if needed, flash output

  9. Smile detection

  10. Optical character recognition (OCR) Technology to convert scanned docs to text
