摘要：

Today we are in an age of zeros and ones, and it is often said that we arenow living in a “DigitalUniverse.” Much of the digital data that we interactwith daily is captured by cameras in the formof images and video, and atremendous amount of research is being done on how to process,analyze,describe, search, catalog, compress, transmit and store this data. Fundamental researchin image and video processing has evolved from problems having a primary focusthat may be described as algorithmic, processing bytes of data onrelatively small data sets, to research that is becoming increasingly more analytic,focusing on understanding and description, and computational, workingon problems that involve massive amounts of data.

This talk begins with a brief historical perspective of the field of imageprocessing that includes snapshots of the research problems that challenged theresearch community up to the point that the arrival of deep learning algorithmsthat now allow one to perform some truly amazing image processing tasks. Thetalk then branches into a more general discussion of the impact that machinelearning has had in a vast array of applications. This talk is non-technicaland should be appreciated by anyone in the field of engineering or science.
