Photo Sequencing - Yael Moses: VCL Lunch Talk - 510 Soda

Seminar: Departmental | March 8 | 12-1 p.m. | Soda Hall, Visual Computing Lab - 510 Soda

Speaker/Performer: Yael Moses, The School of Computer Science The Interdisciplinary Center, Israel

Sponsor: Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS)

Abstract:
Dynamic events such as family gatherings, concerts or sports events are often captured by a group of people. The set of still images obtained this way is rich in dynamic content but lacks accurate temporal information. We propose a method for photo-sequencing -- temporally ordering a set of still images taken asynchronously by a set of uncalibrated cameras. Photo-sequencing is an essential tool in analyzing (or visualizing) a dynamic scene captured by still images. We demonstrate successful photo sequencing on several challenging collections of images taken using a number of mobile phones.

This is a joint work with Tali Basha and Shai Avidan from TAU.
