Neural substrates dedicated to vision is said to occupy about 40 percent of the cerebral cortex. Realizing computer vision as a truly intelligent perceptual modality is fundamental for artificial intelligence, and would also inform our understanding of human visual intelligence. Towards computational visual intelligence, our research is focused on establishing the theoretical foundations and efficient implementations of computational methods for better understanding people, objects and scenes from their appearance in images and video, as well as the development of novel computational imaging systems that can see beyond what we see.
