Autonomous Driving Technology and the OrCam MyEye, Amnon Shashua, President & CEO, Mobileye, an Intel Company, and Senior Vice President of Intel Corporation (United States)
The field of transportation is undergoing a seismic change with the coming introduction of autonomous driving. The technologies required to enable computer driven cars involves the latest cutting edge artificial intelligence algorithms along three major thrusts: Sensing, Planning and Mapping. Prof. Shashua will describe the challenges and the kind of computer vision and machine learning algorithms involved, but will do that through the perspective of Mobileye's activity in this domain. He will then describe how OrCam leverages computer vision, situation awareness and language processing to enable Blind and Visually impaired to interact with the world through a miniature wearable device.
Prof. Amnon Shashua holds the Sachs chair in computer science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His field of expertise is computer vision and machine learning. For his academic achievements he received the MARR prize Honorable Mention in 2001, the Kaye innovation award in 2004, and the Landau award in exact sciences in 2005.
In 1999 Prof. Shashua co-founded Mobileye, an Israeli company developing a system-on-chip and computer vision algorithms for a driving assistance system, providing a full range of active safety features using a single camera. Today, approximately 24 million cars rely on Mobileye technology to make their vehicles safer to drive. In August 2014, Mobileye claimed the title for largest Israeli IPO ever, by raising $1B at a market cap of $5.3B. In addition, Mobileye is developing autonomous driving technology with more than a dozen car manufacturers. The introduction of autonomous driving capabilities is of a transformative nature and has the potential of changing the way cars are built, driven and own in the future. In August 2017, Mobileye became an Intel company in the largest Israeli acquisition deal ever of $15.3B. Today, Prof. Shashua is the President and CEO of Mobileye and a Senior Vice President of Intel Corporation leading Intel's Autonomous Driving Group.
In 2010 Prof. Shashua co-founded OrCam which harnesses computer vision and artificial intelligence to assist people who are visually impaired or blind. The OrCam MyEye device is unique in its ability to provide visual aid to hundreds of millions of people, through a discreet wearable platform. Within its wide-ranging scope of capabilities, OrCam's device can read most texts (both indoors and outdoors) and learn to recognize thousands of new items and faces.

KEYNOTE: The role of symmetry in vision and image processing, Zygmunt Pizlo, University of California, Irvine (United States)
Professor Zygmunt Pizlo holds the Falmagne Endowed Chair in mathematical psychology in the department of cognitive sciences at University of California-Irvine. Pizlo received his MSc in electrical engineering (in 1978) from Politechnika, Warsaw, Poland, and PhD in electrical engineering (in 1982) from the Institute of Electron Technology, Warsaw, Poland. He then decided to pursue his interests in, and passion for natural sciences. Having been already exposed to elements of AI, he became absolutely fascinated with the possibility of studying the human mind. In 1982, he started his research on human vision at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Delving into visual psychophysics as the most mature branch of experimental psychology, Pizlo received his PhD in psychology from the University of Maryland at College Park. Bob Steinman and Azriel Rosenfeld were his advisers. In 1988, he moved to the University of Maryland in College Park, MD where he received his PhD in Psychology (in 1991). He was a professor of psychological sciences at Purdue University for 26 years. In 2017, he moved to UC Irvine. Dr. Pizlo’s research focuses on psychophysics and computational modeling of 3D shape perception. He authored and co-authored two books on shape (MIT Press, 2008 and Oxford University Press, 2014) and co-edited a book on shape perception in human and computer vision (Springer, 2013). His interest in vision research extends to depth, motion, figure-ground, color, eye movement, as well as image and video processing. He has also done work on human problem solving where he adapted multiresolution/multiscale pyramids used in visual models to solve combinatorial optimization problems such as the Traveling Salesman Problem. Most recently, he has been exploring the role that symmetry and the least-action principle can play in a theoretical formalism that can explain Perception and Cognition.

Light Fields and Light Stages for Photoreal Movies, Games, and Virtual Reality, Paul Debevec, Senior Scientist, Google (United States)
Paul Debevec will discuss the technology and production processes behind "Welcome to Light Fields", the first downloadable virtual reality experience based on light field capture techniques which allow the visual appearance of an explorable volume of space to be recorded and reprojected photorealistically in VR enabling full 6DOF head movement. The lightfields technique differs from conventional approaches such as 3D modelling and photogrammetry. Debevec will discuss the theory and application of the technique. Debevec will also discuss the Light Stage computational illumination and facial scanning systems which use geodesic spheres of inward-pointing LED lights as have been used to create digital actor effects in movies such as Avatar, Benjamin Button, and Gravity, and have recently been used to create photoreal digital actors based on real people in movies such as Furious 7, Blade Runner: 2049, and Ready Player One. Th lighting reproduction process of light stages allows omnidirectional lighting environments captured from the real world to be accurately reproduced in a studio, and has recently be extended with multispectral capabilities to enable LED lighting to accurately mimic the color rendition properties of daylight, incandescent, and mixed lighting environments. They have also recently used their full-body light stage in conjunction with natural language processing and automultiscopic video projection to record and project interactive conversations with survivors of the World War II Holocaust.
Paul Debevec is a Senior Scientist at Google VR, a member of GoogleVR's Daydream team, and Adjunct Research Professor of Computer Science in the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California, working within the Vision and Graphics Laboratory at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies. Debevec's computer graphics research has been recognized with ACM SIGGRAPH's first Significant New Researcher Award in 2001 for "Creative and Innovative Work in the Field of Image-Based Modeling and Rendering", a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award in 2010 for "the design and engineering of the Light Stage capture devices and the image-based facial rendering system developed for character relighting in motion pictures" with Tim Hawkins, John Monos, and Mark Sagar, and the SMPTE Progress Medal in 2017 in recognition of his achievements and ongoing work in pioneering techniques for illuminating computer-generated objects based on measurement of real-world illumination and their effective commercial application in numerous Hollywood films.

KEYNOTE: ‘WonkaVision’ and the need for a paradigm shift in vision research, Jacqueline Snow, University of Nevada at Reno (United States)
Jacqueline Snow joined the cognitive and brain sciences group in the Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno in fall 2013. She completed her graduate training in clinical neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience at the University of Melbourne, Australia, under the supervision of professor Jason Mattingley. Snow completed two years of post-doctoral research in the United Kingdom working with professor Glyn Humphreys of University of Birmingham. During this time, she developed a strong interest in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). She subsequently moved to Canada where she completed a further five years of post-doctoral research in the laboratories of professors Jody Culham and Melvyn Goodale at the University of Western Ontario. During this time, she developed a range of special fMRI techniques to study how objects are represented in the human brain. Now an assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, Snow teaches undergraduate psychology students about the theory and practice of science, and graduate student seminars in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and clinical neuropsychology. She also heads a research laboratory that consists of four doctoral students and a group of Honors Program students and undergraduate trainees. Together, they examine how humans recognize and make decisions about objects. They are particularly interested in studying the behavioral significance of real-world 3-D objects that one can reach out and interact with, such as tools and snack foods, and how neural structures in the brain code and represent action-relevant information. Other research topics include how object information is integrated across sensory modalities, such as vision and touch. They use a range of methodological approaches, including fMRI, psychophysics and the study of neuropsychological patients with brain damage. The lab is supported by a pilot project grant from the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE).

Light, quanta and vision: A metaphysical evolution, Christopher Tyler, Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (United States)
While long-standing HVEI committee member, Christopher Tyler, shows no signs of retiring, his attainment of his 75th year, and his seminal contributions ranging from binocular vision and stereopsis through art and consciousness to brain mechanisms and brain imaging, are certainly deserving of recognition. With this Tylerfest session, we are honoring him, followed by a reception/discussion section (with refreshments), with a self-organized dinner outing afterwards. The focus for this session is on Bay Area collaborators and HVEI colleagues of the honoree, with each participant presenting exciting relevant work.
