Abstract<\/strong>:
\nThere are many challenging problems in computer vision for which state-of-the-art solutions fall short of performing perfectly. The realization that many of these tasks are arduous for computers yet are relatively easy for humans has inspired many researchers to approach those problems from a human computation viewpoint, using methods that includecrowdsourcing<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0games<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 often called \u2018games with a purpose\u2019 (GWAPs).\u00a0The talk discusses how we can use human computation (in general) and particularly games to help uncover hidden aspects of visual perception and use these findings to improve computer vision solutions to related problems.\u00a0It particularly highlights two examples of our recent work on the topic:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Guess That Face<\/em>\u00a0(with Mathias Lux and Justyn Snyder, CHI 2013): a face recognition game that reverse engineers the human biological threshold for accurately recognizing blurred faces of celebrities under time-varying conditions.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ask\u2019N\u2019Seek<\/em>\u00a0(with Vincent Charvillat and Axel Carlier, ECCV 2012): an object detection and labeling game that asks users to guess the location of a hidden region within an image with the help of semantic and topological clues and uses the information collected from game logs, combined with results from content analysis algorithms, to feed a machine learning algorithm that outputs the outline of the most relevant regions within the image and their names.<\/p>\n

Short CV<\/strong>:
\nOge Marques is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer & Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) (Boca Raton, Florida). He received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from FAU in 2001. He has more than 20 years of teaching and research experience\u00a0in the fields of image processing and computer vision, in different countries (U.S., Austria, Brazil, Netherlands, Spain, France, and India), languages (English,Portuguese,Spanish), and capacities.He is the (co-) author of more than 50 refereed journal and conference papers and several books in these topics, including the textbook Practical Image and Video Processing UsingMATLAB\u00a0(Wiley, 2011). His research interests are in the area of intelligent processing\u00a0of visual information, which combines the fields of image processing, computer vision, image retrieval, machine learning, serious games, and human visual perception. He is particularly interested in the combination of human computation and machine learning techniques to solve computer vision problems.<\/p>\n

He is a senior member of both the ACM and IEEE, and a member of the IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Education Society, IEEE Signal Processing Society, and the honor societies of Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, and Upsilon Pi Epsilon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
