Speech Title: "Underwater 3D reconstruction with interactive VR applications"

Abstract: Three-dimensional reconstruction faces great challenges in underwater environment, as images are blurred due to light absorption, scattering and refraction in the imaging process. Currently the demand for high-accuracy underwater 3D reconstruction is huge, especially in safety and environmental monitoring In this talk, I will present methods and systems for accurate 3D reconstruction in underwater environment. I will show the potential use of 3D reconstruction results in interactive control of underwater remote operated vehicles with VR facilities.

Speech Title: "An Exploration on Explainable Sparse/Low Rank Deep Learning Models for Multimodal Visual Fusion"

Abstract: There is a huge amount of visual information in the construction of smart city (SC) in which the visual fusion is a very important topic. Deep Learning (DL) has found very successful applications in numerous different domains with impressive results. Visual Fusion (VisF) algorithms based on sparse/low rank DL models and their applications will be presented in this talk in the context of SC. Initially, a brief introductory overview of related concepts and algorithms will be presented. Then, explainable sparse/low rank DL models will be analyzed. A comprehensive analysis of DL models will be offered and their typical applications will be discussed, including Image Quality Enhancement, Object Tracking, Multi-Modal Image Fusion, Video Style Transformation, and Deep Fake of Facial Images respectively.

Speech Title: "Digital Human Generation Based on Multiple Knowledge Representations"

Abstract: In this talk, I will first discuss the challenges in the generation of virtual digital humans, and then analyze the advantages of multiple knowledge representations for robust virtual human generation. Later, I will discuss the research progress of digital human applications such as digital human reconstruction and multi-modal digital human generation. I will discuss methods that incorporate structural prior information such as geometry information in digital human reconstruction. In terms of multi-modal digital human generation, I will discuss methods for generating digital humans from inputs such as audio and text. I will discuss recent knowledge-informed methods and structured representation learning mechanisms. Finally, I will discuss recent studies on the combination of knowledge and data.
