ABSTRACT

Speaker: Professor Dipti Prasad Mukherjee, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata

One of the main objectives of Computer Vision is to interpret the content of image and video. To interpret image content, one of the major targets is to build a model based on a known set of features derived from image and video. The designed model is then used to generate inference about the unseen image or video. We will present a set of machine learning techniques that help train and test an image understanding system. Attempt will be made to understand the model from the basics.
