Computer Vision News - September 2016

It is so inspirational to see women scientists showing so much passion in what they do! This is true also about Luisa M. Zintgraf , who spoke to us with much verve about the challenge of Decoding Brain Signals organized by Microsoft earlier this year. She offered her precious insights about the competition. The same strength of motivation animates Dr. Lina J. Karam , the General Chair of ICIP 2016 (International Conference on Image Processing) : when you read what she told us, you will understand why we chose ICIP 2016 as our Event of the Month of September. Of course, our admiration for women scientists should not make us forget about men’s contribution to progress in our field: we interviewed Dr. Dan Feldman , who manages the Robotics and Big Data Lab of the University of Haifa . He told us about the coresets , which he chose as his main technique and which enable the use of smaller sets of data, without compromising the quality of the output. The application of the month for September comes from Cogisen , a start-up founded by Christiaan Erik Rijnders : building on computational neuroscience models and on his own experience as an engineer for Ferrari , Rijnders developed a new image processing platform with powerful gaze tracking capabilities. Don’t miss his memories with Michael Schumacher ! Read also the other sections: Spotlight News, Project Management, Tools and Tricks and the Research of the month . I am sure that you will love this magazine: please keep sharing it with friends and colleagues. Enjoy the reading!
