Abstract:
A recent trend in computer vision is driven by images and video generated by heterogeneous and multi-perspective visual sensing networks. We present a few examples of research along this line. First, we will present an interesting framework for event recognition. With GPS information, we obtain satellite images corresponding to picture locations and investigate their novel use to recognize the picture-taking environment. We then combine this inference with classical vision-based event detection methods and demonstrate the synergistic fusion of the two approaches. Second, to determine the viewing direction for geotagged photos, we utilize both Google StreetView and Google Earth satellite images. Third, we explore using phone-captured images for localization as it contains more context information than the embedded sensory GPS coordinates. We then build applications to enable people to enjoy ubiquitous location-based services (LBS) using their phones. Fourth, we leverage crowd-sourced photos to remove unwanted bystanders from tourist photos taken at popular attractions and measure air pollution in major cities in China. Furthermore, given a new source of visual data from public webcams deployed in urban environments, we will present some ongoing work on crowd analytics using such data.

Abstract:
The recent advances in deep learning have boosted the research on video analysis. For example, convolutional neural networks have demonstrated the superiority on modeling high-level visual concepts, while recurrent neural networks have been proven to be good at modeling mid-level temporal dynamics in the video data. We present a few recent advances for understanding video content using deep learning techniques. Specifically, this talk will focus on translating video to sentence with joint embedding and translation, which achieves the best to-date performance in this nascent vision task. We will also talk about future directions for video captioning, as well as a new “Video to Language” Grand Challenge with dataset organized by Microsoft Research Asia.
