Title:

Willow: Recent results in 3D photography and motion capture, and sparse image coding for

image understanding

 
Abstract:
I will present in this talk an overview of the research activities of Willow, a team I head at Ecole 
Normale Supérieure and INRIA in Paris. Our work focuses on computer vision and machine 
learning, and I will discuss some recent results in 3D photography and markerless motion 
capture from multiple synchronized and calibrated video streams, as well as a new 
discriminative approach to sparse image coding and its application to feature selection, edge 
and object detection, texture classification, and handwritten digit recognition.
 
Joint work with Francis Bach, Yasutaka Furukawa, Julien Mairal, Guillermo Sapiro, and 
Andrew Zisserman.
