Research Areas:
| From minute surface vibrations to fast-occurring events, the world is rich with phenomena humans cannot perceive. Likewise, most computer vision systems are primarily based on ‘conventional’ cameras, designed to mimic the imaging principles of the human eye, and are therefore equally blind to these ubiquitous phenomena. The talk will cover principles for capturing such hidden phenomena and extracting novel, imperceptible scene information by combining cutting-edge algorithms with emerging imaging technologies. Specifically, we’ll discuss leveraging light diffraction for high-speed imaging, painting and tracking heat patterns on textureless objects for structure-from-motion, and capturing tiny surface vibrations to infer scene audio, dynamic object locations, and high-level semantic object properties. |
| Mark Sheinin is an assistant professor at the Computer Science department at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Before that, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology in 2019. His work has received the Best Student Paper Award at CVPR 2017 and the Best Paper Honorable Mention Award at CVPR 2022. His research focuses on expanding the capabilities of computer vision beyond conventional imaging. https://www.marksheinin.com/
