Multimedia Signal Processing and AI

Time：2018/05/02  15:30~17:30

Place：ED117

Speaker：Professor Mark Liao

Abstract：

In this talk, I am going to split what I am going to say into three parts.  First, I will talk about how to handle the visual part of a concert video mashup process using deep learning related techniques.  Second, I will talk about how to use unsupervised learning to train a basketball tactic classifier and then use it to classify offense tactics directly from NBA broadcast videos.  In the third part of my talk, I will put emphasis on how to use video inpainting techniques for repairing vintage films.
