A journey through computer vision
In this lecture, Professor Luigi Di Stefano will introduce his research journey in the field of computer vision research. He has been researching on computer vision since more than 30 years. In the talk he will discuss how computer vision has evolved from a programmed to a fully data-driven computational paradigm, thanks to the advent of machine learning and then deep learning. He will also highlight how this transformation has broadened the spectrum of computer vision applications, inasmuch as nowadays we witness researchers addressing new generative tasks that were just unthinkable only a few years (if not months, sometimes !) ago. In his talk he will also focus on how deep learning has been successful in yielding state-of-the-art performance also in tasks, like, e.g., depth estimation, where one cannot rely on ground-truth data to supervise the learning process. Professor Luigi Di Stefano will present some recent research results achieved by his Lab and published in CVPR 2019, CVPR 2020 and CVPR 2022, he well as in 3DV 2021 (Best Paper Award Honorable Mention) and 3DV 2022.

A journey through computer vision
Prof. Luigi Di Stefano is a Full Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DISI) of the University of Bologna, where he leads the Computer Vision Laboratory (CVLab). Luigi Di Stefano teaches Computer Architecture for undergraduate students and Computer Vision and Image Processing for master students, both at the School of Engineering of the University of Bologna. He also teaches Computer Vision within the Master in Digital Technology Management – Artificial Intelligence Track at the BBS (Bologna Business School).
His research interests are focused on computer vision and machine/deep learning. In these fields, he has coordinated many research projects funded by public grants and private companies and he is the author of more than 170 papers in renowned international journals and conferences as well as several patents. He has published in top-tier journals and conferences such as IEEE PAMI, IJCV, IEEE TIP, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, and NeurIPS. He was a winner of the Runner-Up Paper Award of the 2011 3DIMPVT Conference and the Best Paper Honorable Mention of the 3DV 2021 Conference. He has given invited lectures in Ph.D. schools and many invited talks at academic institutions and companies, such as ETH-Zurich, IIT-Genoa, TUW-Vienna, Huawei, STM, Datalogic, Pirelli, Lamborghini, Ferrari, FCA, SACMI, Bending Spoons, Austrian Institute of Technology. In 2009-2011 and 2015-2017 he has been a member of the Board of Directors of Datalogic SpA. Since 2011 he is the scientific advisor for Pirelli Tyres in the area of computer vision. In 2020 he co-founded the Start-up company eyecan.ai.
