Am 25. Juni 2009 hielt Dr. Oge Marques, Florida Atlantic University oben genannten Vortrag und hier möchten wir nochmals einen Rückblick auf diesen Vortrag wagen.
Abstract: Research in vision science has an intrinsic potential for integrating contributions from psychology, computer science, engineering, optics, neuroscience, and physiology, among many other areas of knowledge. During the past 15 years, many vision researchers have successfully demonstrated that the results of such interdisciplinary efforts can advance the state of the art and lead to promising discoveries. This talk presents representative research results that blend experiments in human visual perception and computer vision models to solve challenging vision problems. Particularly, it discusses the issues of object and scene recognition and the role of context and shows how they are being addressed by the leading researchers in the field. After introducing selected basic concepts of object detection and recognition, scene recognition and analysis, and the role of context, we will discuss representative attempts to model the process of context influences in object perception. We will then motivate further research efforts by presenting a number of fascinating open problems in this field and suggesting how they can be approached in a truly interdisciplinary way.
