BVI Seminar: Visual concealment as foreign policy: camouflage as signaling friends and foes.
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolLászló Tálas, Camo Lab, University of Bristol Abstract: Why do armies operating in the same environment (e.g. temperate woodland) wear markedly different dress? The primary function of military camouflage is generally […]
BVI Seminar: Diverted by dazzle: testing the ‘motion dazzle’ hypothesis.
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolAnna Hughes, University College London Abstract: `Motion dazzle' is the hypothesis that certain types of patterns, such as high contrast stripes and zigzags, can cause misperceptions in the speed and […]
BVI Seminar: Eye Movements in Low and Normally Sighted Vision
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolBrian Sullivan, University of Bristol, School of Experimental Psychology I will present two studies examining human eye movements and discuss my role at the University of Bristol. The first study concerns patients […]
BVI Seminar: Attentional selection of colour is determined by both cone-based and hue-based representations
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolJasna Martinovic, University of Aberdeen What is the nature of representations that sustain attention to colour? In other words, is attention to colour predominantly determined by the low-level, cone-opponent chromatic […]

BVISS: Pattern Recognition without Features or Training
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolProfessor Fred Stentiford - UCL Pattern recognition is usually implemented through the use of a selected set of plausible features that characterise the data being studied. In addition it is also necessary to identify a set of data that represents the problem area and is used to train and adjust parameters to maximise recognition performance. […]
BVISS: Learning to synthesize signals and images
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolDr Sotirios Tsaftaris - School of Engineering, Edinburgh University Abstract: An increasing population and climate change put pressure on several societally important domains. Health costs are increasing and at the same time feeding the world becomes a challenge. Imaging (and sensing) is central to furthering our understanding of biology not only in its diagnostic capacity […]
BVISS: Action localization without spatiotemporal supervision
Seminar Room, Life Sciences Building Tyndall Avenue, BristolDr Cees Snoek - Faculty of Science, University of Amsterdam Abstract Understanding what activity is happening where and when in video content is crucial for video computing, communication and intelligence. In the literature, the common tactic for action localization is to learn a deep classifier on hard to obtain spatiotemporal annotations and to apply it at test time on an […]
