Vision & Robotics

Research from the department has been accepted to the 2021 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) Conference. The annual event explores machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision research and its applications.

Shree K. Nayar has been awarded the prestigious Funai Achievement Award from the Information Processing Society of Japan for his seminal work on computer vision and computational imaging. Nayar will receive the award at the Forum on Information Technology (FIT) to be held in Sendai, Japan.

About
The group studies the computational foundations for visual and robotic intelligence. They investigate machines that are able to perceive their surroundings and interact with them too.
The group of ten faculty often collaborate across the sciences and the arts. They leverage insights from both nature and math to advance the fundamentals of perception and interaction, and they also transfer their research to tackle practical challenges across disciplines. Several of the faculty are cross-listed with the Data Science Institute.
