ECCV 2022 - Wednesday

“ We are a small group, and I think I’m the only guy working on computer vision, but without everyone’s help, this work wouldn’t have been possible, ” he tells us. “ I’m not an expert in optics, for example, but I’ve been able to implement this with the group’s help, so I would like to thank them. ” Looking to the future, he will be starting a new adventure as a postdoc at KAUST in Saudi Arabia with Bernard Ghanem next year. “ Prof. Ghanem is amazing, and I’m very excited to start this position. I’m currently doing all the paperwork for that. ” Fei-Fei Li, Juan Carlos Niebles, and Ehsan Adeli were also co-organizers of the Compositional and Multimodal Perception workshop, which took place on Sunday, gathering researchers working on activity/scene recognition, compositionality, and multimodal perception. What is it like to work with leading scientist Fei-Fei Li? “ I had only a few meetings with her, but they were very efficient because she gives so many good ideas, and that helps you to take the work forward and finish it, ” he tells us. “ During my internship at Stanford, I worked mainly with my advisor Prof. Niebles, who helped me a lot, as did Ehsan Adeli. I learned a lot from that whole group. It was a very good experience. ” Carlos, Ehsan and Henry have two US patents in progress (final stage) around these ideas of privacy-preserving for computer vision. To learn more about Carlos’s work, you are invited to visit Oral 2.B.1: Scene, Action, and Video Understanding today from 13:30-15:30 and Poster 2.B from 15:30-17:30. 7 Carlos Hinojosa
