WIAMIS 2007: “Data-driven and Procedural Analysis and Synthesis of Multimedia” Abstract In this talk, I will outline the changes that have come about in the analysis and synthesis of multimedia, due to the availability of large amounts of data. I will present several of the recently successful methods that have been introduced in the last […]
I have just been invited to give an Invited Talk at Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI) 2008, May 28-30, 2008, in Napoli, Italy. Computational Photography and Video: Interacting and Creating with Videos and Images Abstract Digital image capture, processing, and sharing has become pervasive in our society. This has had significant impact on how we create […]
