Inventions and Discoveries (Brave ideas@2006)
Everybody has his own plan for future. I'd like to be a scientist or a researcher.- Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
- Ubiquitous Computing and Pervasive Computing I like the movie StarTrek pretty much. I am interested in building a computer system that help our daily life, especially the sensor subsystem that monitors the environment and human activities.
- Huamn Vision/Learning Process In terms of object recognition and image understanding,
- computer vision falls behind human vision by a large margin.
- human vision seems to be an one-fits-all design while computer vision needs to be tuned for specific application.
Since lowlevel sensors such as inexpensive CMOS cams and microphone arrays are widely available. Computer vision along with machine learning technique can be extremely helpful for such purpose.
