Introduction of Computer Vision Research at CUHK Multimedia Lab and MSRA--Research Internship and Software engineer job opportunity in Hong Kong
In the first half of the talk, Professor Tang will give an introduction to research on computer vision at the Multimedia Lab of Chinese University of Hong Kong (http://mmlab.ie.cuhk.edu.hk/) and MSRA in the past few years. He will also talk about their recent work on dark channel prior, which won the 2009 CVPR Best Paper Award.Prof. Tang will also talk about the internship opportunity for both senior year undergraduate and graduate students in Hong Kong. For students who are graduating this year, Prof. Tang will also talk about research and software engineering job opportunity in his lab both in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Research assistant and programmer positions are available for students who are exceptionally strong in programming.
Questions regarding the positions may be sent to smartcam99@gmail.com
Speaker:
Xiaoou Tang received the B.S. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, in 1990, the Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 1996. He is professor and Associate Dean (research) of the Faculty of Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He worked as the group manager of the Visual Computing Group at the Microsoft Research Asia from 2005 to 2008. He has received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2009. Dr. Tang is a
program chair of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2009 and an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) and International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV). He is a Fellow of IEEE. His research interests include computer vision, pattern recognition, and video processing (http://mmlab.ie.cuhk.edu.hk/).
Master of Science in Faculty of Engineering of the Chinese University of Hong Kong
In this talk we will introduce three Master of Science programs in Faculty of Engineering of the Chinese University of Hong Kong: Msc in Information Engineering, Msc in Electrical Engineering, and Msc in Mechanical and Automation Engineering.
Established in 1989, the Department of Information Engineering was the first Information Engineering Department in Hong Kong. It has gained a world-wide reputation for its leading edge research and top quality programmes. Among its 21 faculty members, there are 8 IEEE Fellows, the highest percentage among all engineering departments in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
The Master of Science in Information Engineering program was established in 1997, aiming at offering an all-round taught-postgraduate programme to develop information and communication technology leaders. MScIE is structured to provide both fundamental courses that give background training in technology, and elective course that develop students’ specialties. Specialized areas include: network and security, business and management, and software and application. The study experience in MScIE is further enriched with diverse activities including seminars, workshops, and community events. We also offer students research training experience through a research course (optional), where students can work with faculty members on a research project.Students are awarded the Master of Science degree by taking a minimum of eight courses within one year of study. According to the immigration policy of the HK government, students are eligible to work and study in Hong Kong after obtaining the M.Sc. degree.
M.Sc. Programme in Mechanical and Automation Engineering at CUHK is an inter-disciplinary study combining topics in computer engineering, electronics, systems, and information technology. The subject has a broad foundation and has been advancing rapidly in the past two decades. Automation is the use of technology to improve upon human operations, and to extend the analytical and physical capabilities of humans. It is ever-evolving. In ancient times it was the mechanization of some simple processes; today it is the integrated engineering of sensors, feedback control, manufacturing, CAD/CAM, robotics, computer interfaces, and artificial intelligence. These advanced technologies demand manipulation of a large amount of information in real-time, and only with today’s advanced computer technology that they can be facilitated. On the other hand, mechanical and automation engineering is, in a general sense, the application of computer technologies to engineering problems, including design/redesign, planning, simulation, implementation, and management. Together, mechanical and automation engineering work interactively and feed on each other’s strength, bringing forth new potential and application areas.
