Recent computer vision research

Bob Fisher

My 2021 IPAB seminar will give the highlights from 5 projects that
I have been involved with in the past year.

* Predicting Austrian Forest Thinning - using aerial data and deep learning to
   predict when a forest needs to be thinned to improve forest growth and health
* Detecting, tracking, and assessing pig behaviour - how does piglet behaviour change
   over 2 months as they grow
* Detecting daily face changes - using eigenface analysis to explore how a face changes
   in shape and colour over the period of a day
* Properties of human foveal vision - even if you have lost your central vision (e.g. due
   to macular degeneration), you can still detect objects, but are slower at recognising them
* Advanced Care Research Centre progress - two small applications that could help keep
   elderly people living alone safer

The PhD students and postdocs will present their main research in other seminars.
