Notable examples are personal robotics for the elderly and people with disabilities, as well as autonomous driving systems that can help decrease fatalities caused by traffic accidents. In order to perform tasks such as navigation, recognition, and manipulation of objects, these systems should be able to efficiently extract 3D knowledge of their environment. While a variety of novel sensors have been developed in the past few years, we focus on the extraction of this knowledge from visual information alone. In this talk, I\u0027ll show how Markov random fields provide a great mathematical formalism to extract this knowledge. In particular, I\u0027ll focus on a few examples; i.e., 3D reconstruction, 3D layout estimation, 2D holistic parsing and object detection, and show representations and inference strategies that allow us to achieve state-of-the-art performance as well as several orders of magnitude speed-ups.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThis seminar will be held in the TSRB Banquet Hall at Tech Square from 12-1 p.m. The seminar is open to the public.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERaquel Urtasun of the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago\u0026nbsp;presents \u0022Efficient Algorithms for Semantic Scene Parsing\u0022\u0026nbsp;as part of the RIM Seminar Series.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"RIM seminar by Raquel Urtasun of the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago"}],"uid":"27255","created_gmt":"2013-01-09 13:24:33","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:01:55","author":"Josie Giles","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2013-01-25T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2013-01-25T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2013-01-25T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2013-01-25 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2013-01-25 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2013-01-25 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"181901":{"id":"181901","type":"image","title":"Raquel Urtasun","body":null,"created":"1449179053","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:44:13","changed":"1475894828","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:08","alt":"Raquel Urtasun","file":{"fid":"196054","name":"raquel-urtasun2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/raquel-urtasun2_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/raquel-urtasun2_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":9230,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/raquel-urtasun2_0.jpg?itok=CpGd4BQc"}}},"media_ids":["181901"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/robotics@gatech.edu\/","title":"Robotics \u0026 Intelligent Machines Center (RIM)"},{"url":"http:\/\/ttic.uchicago.edu\/~rurtasun\/","title":"Raquel Urtasun"}],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"142761","name":"IRIM"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"54621","name":"Raquel Urtasun"},{"id":"667","name":"robotics"},{"id":"40321","name":"Robotics and Intelligent Machines Center (RIM)"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJosie Giles\u003Cbr \/\u003ERIM Communications Officer\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:josie@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejosie@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
