报告题目：Computer vision techniques for video surveillance [Slides]
主持人： 王琦（西北工大）
报告摘要：Experienced security analysts often profile individuals in the scene to determine their threat. An expert can identify individuals who look as though they may cause trouble before any anti-social behaviour has occurred. Therefore, a key to automatic threat assessment is to be able to automatically profile people in the scene based on their gender and age. In this talk, I am going to introduce the challenges and promising solutions in my recent studies of age and gender classification. Afterwards, I will summarise the recent research progress in human behaviour analysis. In particular, I will talk about (1) The techniques that I helped to develop in order to automatically extract and select features from face images for robust age recognition, (2) An effective combination of facial and full body measurements for gender classification, (3) Human tracking and trajectory clustering approaches to handle challenging circumstances such as occlusions and pose variations, and (4) event reasoning in smart transport video surveillance.

报告人简介：
Dr. Zhou's research specialisation is in machine learning on image analysis. This is an interdisciplinary research area that draws his experience and training onto image understanding, robotics/intelligent systems and data mining. Image analysis has been continuously applied in the fields as diverse as visual surveillance, medicine, robotics and human-computer interface. The aim is to develop algorithms/systems that enable effective and efficient image segmentation, object detection and tracking, 3-D reconstruction and event search and retrieval. His research to date has focused on the development of machine learning algorithms that allows a system to better describe images while representing/inferring structures.
Huiyu Zhou obtained a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Radio Technology from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology of China, and a Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Dundee of United Kingdom, respectively. He was then awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Computer Vision from the Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Dr. Zhou is presently a lecturer at the Queen's University of Belfast. He has published over 120 peer reviewed papers in the field. He was the recipient of "CVIU 2012 Most Cited Paper Award" and was shortlisted for "MBEC 2006 Nightingale Prize". He also won one of the "Best Paper Awards" in the 1993 Annual Conference of China Association for Medical Devices Industry. He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Recent Advances in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, and is on the Editorial Boards of several refereed journals. He is a Guest Co-Editor of Pattern Recognition, Neurocomputing, Signal Processing, Signal, Image and Video Processing, Scientific World Journal and Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and a Co-Chair of International Workshop on Sparse Representation for Event Detection in Multimedia (SRED'11). He serves or has served as a technical program committee for 300 conferences in signal and image processing and a reviewer for 90 refereed journals including 19 IEEE Transactions/Journals. |
