2018 Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop
The Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop (WNYISPW) is a venue for promoting image and signal processing research in our area and for facilitating interaction between academic researchers, industry researchers, and students. The workshop comprises both oral and poster presentations.
The workshop, building off of 20 successful years of the Western New York Image Processing Workshop (WNYIPW), is run by the Rochester chapter of the IEEE Signal Processing Society with sponsorship from the Rochester chapter of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology, NVIDIA, and Mathworks.
The workshop will be held on Friday, October 05, 2018, in Louise Slaughter Hall (Building SLA/078) at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY.

How Do You Know What a Deep Network is Learning for a Vision Task?
Modern deep learning algorithms are able to learn on training sets such that they achieve almost zero train error. What is all the more amazing, is that this performance tends to generalize well to unseen data - especially for visual detection and classification tasks. Increasingly, deep methods are being utilized in vision tasks such as object tracking and visual SLAM. These tasks differ fundamentally to traditional vision tasks where deep learning has been effective (e.g. object detection and classification) tasks as they are attempting to model the relative relationship between image frames. Although receiving state of the art performance on many benchmarks, it is easy to demonstrate empirically that deep methods are not always learning what we want them to learn for a given visual task - limiting their practical usage in real-world applications. In this talk we shall discuss recent advances my group has made towards making better guarantees over the generalization of deep learning methods for visual tasks where the relative relationship between images is important - most notably object tracking and VSLAM. In particular we shall discuss a new paradigm for efficient and generalizable object tracking which we refer to as Deep-LK. We shall also, discuss how these insights can be utilized in recent applications of deep learning to VSLAM. Finally, we will show some initial results on how geometric constraints can be elegantly combined with deep learning to further improve generalization performance.

Biography:
Simon Lucey is an Associate Research Professor within the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where he is part of the Computer Vision Group, and leader of the CI2CV Laboratory. He is also a Senior Research Scientist at Argo AI (an autonomous vehicle startup based in Pittsburgh). Before returning to CMU he was a Principle Research Scientist at the CSIRO (Australia's premiere government science organization) for 5 years. A central goal of his research approach is to stay true, in terms of research and industry engagement, to the grand goals of computer vision as a scientific discipline. Specifically, he wants to draw inspiration from vision researchers of the past to attempt to unlock computational and mathematic models that underly the processes of visual perception.
