Presentation Abstract
This seminar talk will be an overview of Dr Xu s recent work in computer vision and pattern recognition. In terms of applications, he will present the underlying computer vision algorithms used in a number of systems he has developed, including the human head tracking using calibrated PTZ camera, PTZ whiteboard scanning and image enhancement and perceptual studio camera interface. In terms of theoretical research, he will present recent results in the joint ellipse model fitting to 2d silhouettes using iterative Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.
