Leading Experts
Q: What is your area of expertise?
A: My expertise is in photonics, optoelectronics, and semiconductor lasers.
Q: What is your area of expertise?
A: My area is computer vision, a field related to image processing, pattern recognition, sensing, and robotics. The main goal is to automatically understand the contents of images and video--like human vision does routinely--which is why the field is also called “image understanding.” Specific tasks range from very simple and general ones like estimating whether an orange on the tree is ripe to eat or is it within reach, to very complex ones like assigning semantic and possibly subjective labels such as “an attractive outfit” or “that serene view of the skies.”
