Minta Martin Professor of Engineering Dr. Rama Chellappa (ECE/UMIACS/CS) recently gave two invited talks in England.

He was invited to give a plenary talk at the British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC 2009) in London on September 8. The title of the talk was "Compressive Sensing for Computer Vision: Hype vs Hope." In the talk, Dr. Chellappa discussed how compressive sensing can be used for designing new algorithms for background subtraction, reconstruction from gradient fields, secure iris recognition and image formation.

He also spoke at the University of Surrey's Centre for Vision, Speech, and Signal Processing on September 7 on the subject of "Looking for Patterns in Video."
