`` Real Time 3D Reconstruction and Object Recognition''

Extracting correspondences between images is fundamental in my research. My goal is to combine image based object recognition and 3D reconstruction into a system that robustly builds a representation of its environment, on a large scale and in real-time. Applications include navigation and robotics, augmented reality, scene reconstruction and content based image retrieval. This talk will discuss progress towards this goal and demonstrate it in terms of real-time demonstrations of 3D reconstruction and object recognition.

Refreshments will be served in CP 155 at 3:15 PM
