Computer Science and Illusion: A Computational View of the Interpretation and Manipulation of Images. (In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Klassische Archäologie der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München)

Andrew Blake's lecture "Computer Science and Illusion" will explore some connections between visual perception, geometry, and computer processing of images. It will touch on: perspective in drawings and how a computer can understand it; analysis of perspective in certain paintings; perspective and stereo vision; colour illusions and Edwin Land. Finally there will be demonstrations of how the understanding of visual perspective, colour and texture has helped to produce more powerful tools for manipulating images by computer.

Prof. Andrew Blake
has been an academic for most of his professional life, first in the University of Edinburgh, then (1987-99) as faculty and Professor at the University of Oxford, where he also held a Royal Society Senior Fellowship. Recently he moved to the European laboratory of Microsoft Research in Cambridge, England as Senior Researcher, where he continues to study Artificial Intelligence, especially with respect to Machine Vision.
