Prof. Jussi Ängeslevä, FI/DE
Computational Ways of Seeing
The convergence of social photography, processor speeds, proliferation of digital cameras in an ever expanding range of devices and new image analysis algorithms are changing the way the visual world integrates to our digital lives.
The unbelievable amount of photographs, created by an ever increasing number of different networked devices, images that have often a strong human meaning to them, are now accessible over the internet, where our private lives are being exposed, freewillingly. Computers are becoming ever more capable of reading things from the images that used to be only available to human spectator. Affect, 3D geometry, feature recognition and motion analysis are common things to let the computers figure from our pictures. What happens when computers start to see our world? This talk complements the practical workshop that Prof. Ängeslevä will be giving on the same theme.
