Ramesh Raskar presents Innovating for Billions at Stanford on 4/29
In the Bay area? Attend a talk by our principle investigator, Ramesh Raskar. Innovating for Billions: Inverting the Research Funding Models is presented as part of the
Human-Computer interaction seminar.
Reflection-removing camera featured in MIT news
New research from Ayush Bhandari and Ramesh Raskar, with collaborators,
Aurélien Bourquard and Shahram Izadi, features a reflection removing camera "that emits light only of specific frequencies and gauges the intensity of the reflections."
Dan Raviv presents the Imaging Science Best Paper Prize lecture at SIAM
Animals of the same species frequently exhibit local variations in scale. Raviv and colleagues Ron Kimmel and Yonathan Aflalo introduce a scale invariant metric for surfaces that allows them to analyze nonrigid shapes, generate locally invariant features, produce scale invariant geodesics, embed one surface into another despite changes in local and global size, and assist in the computational study of intrinsic symmetries where the size of a feature is insignificant.

Tata Center features Fellows' work in India workshops and collaborations
Tata Fellows Shantanu Sinha, Mrinal Mohit, and Tristan Swedish and Post doctoral Fellow Anshuman Das travel to India biannually to work with students and maintain mentorships throughout the year creating tech innovations to impact billions of lives.
Explore facial expression recognition
In a new paper Otkrist Gupta, Dan Raviv and Ramesh Raskar use deep neural networks for gesture classification in videos generating spatio temporal features using 4d tensor autoencoders and using semi supervised learning for classification. This develops specialized layers to improve classification by creating motion and illumination invariants.
