SUMMARY:HiPEDS Seminar: Building Computer Vision Systems That Really Work
DESCRIPTION:Title: Building Computer Vision Systems That Really Work  \nSpeaker: Andrew Fitzgibbon\, Microsoft  [<– note not MS Research] \nAndrew Fitzgibbon has been shipping advanced computer vision systems for twenty years. In 1999\, prize-winning research from Oxford University was spun out to become the Emmy-award-winning camera tracker “boujou”\, which has been used to insert computer graphics into live-action footage in pretty much every movie made since its release\, from the “Harry Potter” series to “Bridget Jones’s Diary”. In 2007\, he was part of the team that delivered human body tracking in Kinect for Xbox 360\, and in 2015 he moved from Microsoft Research to the Windows division to work on Microsoft’s HoloLens\, an AR headset brimming with cutting-edge computer vision technology. In all of these projects\, the academic state of the art has had to be leapfrogged in accuracy and efficiency\, sometimes by several orders of magnitude. Sometimes that’s just raw engineering\, sometimes it means completely new ways of looking at the research. If he had to nominate one key to success\, it’s a focus on\, well\, everything: from cache misses to end-to-end experience\, and on always being willing to change one’s mind. \nBiography: Fitzgibbon is a partner scientist at Microsoft in Cambridge\, UK. He has published numerous highly-cited papers\, and received many awards for his work\, including ten “best paper” prizes at various venues\, the Silver medal of the Royal Academy of Engineering\, and the BCS Roger Needham award. He is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering\, the British Computer Society\, and the International Association for Pattern Recognition. He studied at University College\, Cork\, and then did a Masters at Heriot-Watt University\, before taking up an RSE job at the University of Edinburgh\, which eventually morphed into a PhD. He moved to Oxford in 1996 and drove large software projects such as the VXL project\, and then spent several years as a Royal Society University Research Fellow before joining Microsoft in 2005. He loves programming\, particularly in C++\, and his recent work has included new numerical algorithms for Eigen\, and compilation of F# to a non-garbage-collected runtime. \nhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/awf/

SUMMARY:An IP provider’s perspective on functional safety
DESCRIPTION:Title: An IP provider’s perspective on functional safety \nSpeaker: Pete Harrod\, Director of Functional Safety at Arm\, Cambridge. Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor in Dependable Embedded Computing\, Imperial \nIn this talk\, Pete will briefly tell you something about himself\, his time at Arm and what he does there now – and introduce his role as a part-time Visiting Professor and what he hopes to achieve in the 3 years that he will be doing this. But the focus of the talk will be on how an IP provider such as Arm can develop products that can be used in applications where safety is a key concern. By using ‘Connected and Highly Automated Vehicles’ (so-called self-driving cars) as an example\, he’ll explain how the design and verification process needs to proceed to meet the requirements of safety standards and discuss the types of faults that can occur and how they need to be handled. By describing one of the latest Arm CPUs that support functional safety\, he’ll show what can be achieved at the IP level. He’ll conclude with a look at future challenges and areas that are ripe for collaborative research. \nBiography:  Pete is one of the 12 founding engineers of Arm and is still there 28 years later\, having taken on a number of roles in design\, test\, debug and now in functional safety. He is one of the UK experts on the working group that develops the ISO 26262 standard for automotive functional safety and is now contributing to a forthcoming standard on the ‘Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF)’. He has a PhD from UMIST \, is a Fellow of the IET and is on the steering committee of the European Test Symposium.
