Title: The Ultimate Video Camera

Presenter:
Professor Kyros Kutulakos, University of Toronto

Abstract: Over the past decade, advances in image sensor technologies have transformed the 2D and 3D imaging capabilities of our smartphones, cars, robots, drones, and scientific instruments. As these technologies continue to evolve, what new capabilities might they unlock? I will discuss one possible point of convergence---the ultimate video camera---which is enabled by emerging single-photon image sensors and photon-processing algorithms. We will explore the extreme imaging capabilities of this camera within the broader historical context of high-speed and low-light imaging systems, highlighting its potential to capture the physical world in entirely new ways. 

Bio:
Kyros is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto and an expert in computational imaging and computer vision. His research over the past decade has focused on combining programmable sensors, light sources, optics and algorithms to create cameras with unique capabilities---from seeing through scatter and looking around corners to capturing surfaces with complex material properties robustly in 3D. He is currently leading efforts to harness the full potential of technologies such as single-photon detectors and programmable-pixel image sensors, for applications in extreme computer vision and scientific imaging. He is the recipient of a Sloan Fellowship and has won eight best paper prizes at the computer vision field's top conferences, most recently at ICCV 2023 and CVPR 2019.

Mission

To build an AI Excellence Hub in Greece where the international research community can connect, groundbreaking ideas can thrive, and the next generation of scientists emerges, shaping a brighter future for Greece and the world

 

Welcome to ARCHIMEDES, a vibrant research hub connecting the global AI and Data Science research community fostering groundbreaking research in Greece and beyond. Its dedicated core team, comprising lead researchers, affiliated researchers, Post-Docs, PhDs and interns, is committed to advancing basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and its supporting disciplines, including Algorithms, Statistics, Learning Theory, and Game Theory organized around 8 core research areas. By collaborating with Greek and Foreign Universities and Research Institutes, ARCHIMEDES disseminates its research findings fostering knowledge exchange and providing enriching opportunities for students. Leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, ARCHIMEDES promotes innovation within the Greek ecosystem and extends its societal impact. Established in January 2022, as a research unit of the Athena Research Center with support from the Committee Greece 2021, ARCHIMEDES is funded for its first four years by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
