SUMMARY:Vision Computing: The Eyes of the Machine
DESCRIPTION:Vision Computing – The Eyes of the Machine \n  \nWhen \n  \n\nTuesday\, January 18th\, 2011 \n6:00pm – 7:00pm – Networking and Refreshment \n7:00pm – 8:30pm – Panel Discussion and Q/A \n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\nArbuckle Lounge and Bishop Auditorium at Stanford Business School\n \n\n \nEvent Description:\nMore than a third of the human brain’s energy is dedicated to visual processing. Images are our primary medium for the perception of the world and our eyes have been the only means of interpreting these images.  \nToday’s search engines are incapable of searches using images instead they sift through mountains of text to recognize key terms. With the advent of computer vision algorithms\, faster computing and prevalence of digital cameras\, visual perception using computers is now possible. These technologies propel the search market into advanced image and video based searches enabling more meaningful discovery of rich content. \nBreakthroughs in the ability to recognize shapes such as faces\, emotions and places from mere image pixels are becoming a reality in our modern lives. Microsoft’s XBOX Kinect is a significant first step in that direction. \nThe text based web search and aggregation is a multi-billion dollar industry\, it is only a matter of time when the rich media search embarks on this wagon. Discover how entrepreneurs are leveraging their complex mathematical computer vision know-how into highly profitable business models that will bring about new ways to discover\, organize information and bring about the next wave of advanced computing and machine learning. \nCome join us at the next VLAB event as we analyze\, interpret and discuss along the following questions \n\nWill visual computing simply make it possible to process more content or will it create a new paradigm for how we search?\nWho are market leaders in this space who are changing the dynamics of the vision computing?\nCould the agile startups outrun the giant corporations to the next prize in computing?\nWhat are the security concerns with collecting and interpreting personal information such as facial features? Is there a scope for careful anonymity?\n\n  \n  \nMODERATOR \nEzra Roizen\, Ackrell Partners \nEzra Roizen is a partner with Ackrell Capital\, a boutique investment bank\, where he focuses on advising emerging digital businesses on matters of M&A\, financing and corporate strategy.  Previously Ezra was a Vice President with Rutberg & Company\, a mobile and digital media focused investment bank.
