Prof. Supavadee Aramvith of Chulalongkorn University, Thailand

In this talk, we will present and discuss video analytics researches conducted at video technology research group, Chulalongkorn University. As surveillance cameras have been widely installed worldwide, although the main purpose of those cameras is for monitoring, but the most important task is to be able to analyze video contents and extract useful information. Several past and on-going researches such as automatic video segmentation, image super resolution, human action classification, real-time multiple face recognition system, and several implementations of embedded video analytic system on FPGA and Single Board Computers will be discussed.

She was Associate Head in International Affairs (2007-2016) and Head, Communication Engineering Division (2013-2016).

Her research specialization is in the areas of video coding and processing, specifically error resilience for wireless video transmission, video analytics for surveillance applications, and embedded computer vision system. She has successfully advised 6 Ph.D., 26 Master’s, and 32 Bachelor’s degree graduates. A prolific researcher, she published over 120 papers in international conference proceedings and journals along with four chapters in internationally published books. She has also a rich experience in project management, having served as project leader and former technical committee chair to the NBTC and the former MICT of Thailand. In addition, she is very active in the international arena with leadership positions in international networks such as the JICA Project for AUN/SEED-Net, and professional organizations such as IEEE, IEICE, APSIPA, and ITU. At present, she is a member of the IEEE Educational Activities Board (EAB) and chair of the IEEE EAB Pre-University Education Coordination Committee. She is also Thailand Chapter Chair of IEEE Signal Processing Society and Region 10 representative of its chapters committee. She is IEICE Bangkok Section Chair. She led the Educational Activities and Women in Engineering committees for IEEE Asia Pacific (Region 10) from 2011-2016. She also serves as General Co-Chair (ISMAC 2009-2015, MMM 2018, IEEE ICCE-Asia 2019), Technical Program Co-Chairs (IWAIT 2008, IEEE ISCIT 2010, 2012, 2015, 2017, APSIPA 2016-2017), International Steering Committee (IEEE ISPACS), APSIPA Board of Governors member (2017) and Organizing Committee of many well known conferences such VCIP and ICME.
