Invited talk:
An invited talk ¡§Six Topics in Mobile Vision¡¨ will be given
by Prof. Reinhard Klette, The
University of Auckland, New Zealand.

The talk discusses binocular and monocular mobile vision. Stereo
analysis from a mobile platform is, for example, currently applied
for vision-based driver assistance. The algorithm iSGM won the Bosch
Stereo Vision Challenge at ECCV 2012, and technical details will be
presented here for the first time. Besides the use of ground truth, stereo vision accuracy can also be
evaluated in the real world by comparing a calculated view with an
actually recorded view. This third-eye approach is another example
of a stereo technology developed at Auckland university. Identified
high-quality stereo matchers can
be used for various subsequent processing tasks, such as modeling of
road geometry from a mobile platform, or the segmentation of dynamic
traffic scenes.
Regarding monocular mobile vision, the talk discusses the use of an
unscented Kalman filter for camera pose determination, in particular
with respect to the problem of feature point updates. For motion
analysis, the algorithm fSGM is briefly discussed which ranks
currently second in the KITTI Flow Benchmark. The talk ends with a
discussion of using monocular vision on a hexacopter, and some
summarizing conclusions.
Prof.
Reinhard Klette (The University of Auckland, Fellow of
the Royal Society of New Zealand) made significant
contributions to two major areas, digital geometry and
computer vision. Dr. Reinhard Klette co-authored (together
with the late Prof. Azriel Rosenfeld of University of
Maryland, USA ¡V the most prominent scientist in this area) a
book on Digital Geometry, published in 2004 by Morgan
Kaufman San Francisco, which defined the field and has been
cited more than 500 times.
Dr Klette has been working in the area of
computer vision for more than 30 years. He has become
internationally renowned for his work in vision-based driver
assistance since 2006, with important contributions on
performance evaluation and improvements of correspondence
algorithms (for stereo matching and optical flow) on
real-world video data, supporting, for example, 3D scene
reconstruction from a mobile platform.
In 2008 he co-authored (with two of his former PhD students)
a research monograph on panoramic vision (with Wiley, UK),
and in 2011 a research monograph (also co-authored with a
former PhD student) on shortest paths in Euclidean spaces
(with Springer, UK).
¡@
Since 2006 he has been invited as a keynote or plenary
speaker to 3-4 conferences annually with all expenses
covered. Since April 2011 he is the Editor-in-Chief of a new
journal (Journal of Control Engineering and Technology -
JCET) published in Hong Kong.
