1.cv圈的格局, 按师承关系,总结a tree stucture of cv guys.

David Marr
----->Shimon Ullman (Weizmann)
----->Eric Grimson (MIT)
       ----->Daniel Huttenlocher (Cornell)
       ----->Pedro Felzenszwalb (Chicago)

Thomas Binford (Stanford)
----->David Lowe (UBC)
----->Jitendra Malik (UC Berkeley)
       ----->Pietro Perona (Caltech)
              ----->Stefano Soatto (UCLA)
              ----->Fei-Fei Li (Princeton)
       ----->Jianbo Shi (UPenn)
       ----->Yizhou Yu (UIUC)
       ----->Christoph Bregler (NYU)
       ----->Serge Belongie (UCSD)
       ----->Alyosha Efros (CMU)

Andrew Blake (Microsoft Research Cambridge)
----->Andrew Zisserman (Oxford)
       ----->Andrew Fitzgibbon (Microsoft Research Cambridge)
----->Roberto Cipolla (Cambridge)
----->Alan Yuille (UCLA)
(UK这个学派的师承关系不太清楚, 这是我听说加上自己猜测的. 事实上, 几个
非常优秀的researcher如Vladimir Kolmogorov虽然不是Andrew Blake的学生, 但是
也属于这个学派. )

Thomas Huang (UIUC)
----->Yong Rui (Microsoft Research Redmond)
----->Nebojsa Jojic (Microsoft Research Redmond)
----->Ying Wu (Northwestern University)
----->Hai Tao (UCSC)
----->Yuncai Liu (SJTU)
(Huang这个系的人太多, 而且很怪的是, UIUC的web上信息不全, 在此仅列出我知道的.)

此外, 还有Takeo Kanade等非常有名的大牛, 囿于篇幅, 不一一列举. 从上得知, 加州派
基本占了cv的半壁江山.

 

Olivier Faugeras
   ----Ponce  UIUC
       ---lazebnik
   ----Zhengyou Zhang    MSR
    ----Martial Hebert  CMU

Mit AI lab
   poggio
        ---Oliva
        ---serre
    Freeman 80年代还来太原理工扶贫了
       ---Y. Weiss
        ----- Levin
       ---Antonio Torralba （research scientist）
    Trevor Darrell
       ---Grauman
补充一下
    Zisserman还有一个不错的学生

MIT的Brain & Cognitive Science Dept和CSAIL里面聚集了一帮人，有的作low level有的作mid level to high level的。他们的工作是值得关注的。

当然说视觉还是要从伟大的David Marr开始。Tomaso Poggio, Richard Whitman是Marr的同事，传承了其理念，一直往下走。Poggio最近几年比较重点的工作放在他那个hierarchical model上。

T. Poggio的第一个PhD学生是Christof Koch （kLab at Caltech）。哦，顺便说一下Koch的另外一个导师是Valentino Breitenberg——同样是影响了一个时代的大人物。Koch研究重点兴趣在consciousness上，在Nature上的很多文章体现了他的研究思想。不过他们也做不少初级的视觉问题，诸如attention。
Koch比较知名的弟子比如Laurent Itti和Li Feifei。

Richard Whitman 年纪比较大了，个人不是很关注他现在做的东西。不过他所在的Perceptual Science Group，是一个非常有影响力的地方，这个组其他大家比较熟悉的老师有Aude Oliva和EH Adelson。Adelson最著名的一个事儿是色彩恒常相关的视错觉，93年发在Science上的那篇。

关于Oliva，前面的帖子错了，她不是Poggio的学生，这家伙和Torralba是老乡，同在法国念书，主要从心理学那条路子开始做，成名之役是hybrid image，和Antonio Torrralba一起搞的。这个Hybrid Image 其实80年代就有了，但是最开始从心理学方向上探讨，没有非常有影响力的文章。后来开始靠谱作自然图像统计，得到Gist theory，当然这个illusion本身后来转投SIGGRAPH，其影响是深远的。嗯，这个和CV关系不大。
Perceptual Science Group出了不少牛人，他们的alumni list可谓超豪华阵容：Yair Weiss, Josh Tenenbaum, Pawan Sinha, Bill Freeman……

3.按研究方向划分

按研究方向划分， 应该更合理一些。现在计算机视觉， 计算机图形图像， 机器学习开始融合到一起了吧。

J. Malik，Zhu Songchu偏segmentation;
D. Lowe, S. Ullman, Poggio 偏于从生物视觉的启发来研究视觉；
Zisserman, Schmid, Lowe研究局部特征；
Luc Van Goo， Long Quanl三维重建；
Perona, Li Feife， Freeman视觉i学习， 物体分类；
还有运动分析， 视觉跟踪，纹理分析.............

　　一大堆fellow和拿了图灵奖的，但做网络方向不多，只知道 David Culler 和 Leslie Lamport 。这里面华人还是很多的。 In this paper, J. E. Hirsch, Dept of Physics, UCSD, proposes "the index h, defined as the number of papers with citation number higher or equal to h, as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher."
Here is a partial list of computer science researchers who each has an h index of 40 or higher according to Google Scholar. Several websites provide easy-to-use interfaces for computing an h index, including scHolar index and Harzing's publish and perish. Send comments, corrections, and new entries to Jens Palsberg(UCLA). I do maintain the list: mostly, I add people and update numbers upon request and when I happen to notice a high h index. Most of the numbers on this page are the results of counting efforts by the listed people themselves. I have computed some of the numbers myself by comparing output from Google Scholar with other listings of research papers, such as from personal webpages or DBLP.

超牛的Smart Vehicle研究中心与牛人Prof. Dr. Dariu M. Gavrila (2010-12-12 09:54:19)转载

标签： 杂谈 

http://www.gavrila.net/index.html

    最近一直在看Gavrila及其他们团队的论文，感觉很牛，十几年前人家就在奔驰的资助下从事智能车辆方面的研究，而且早就开发出了行人检测与防碰撞系统——“PROTECTOR”，已经将计算机视觉、图像处理与模式识别方面的理论应用于道路行车的安全监控中去了，真的很牛。他们的测试实验也都是用奔驰的汽车，他们在智能车辆、行人检测、三维重建方面有着深厚的理论积累与实际开发经验。

   Gavrila的论文感觉很经典，特别是前沿介绍方面感觉真是大家呀，最近几年他的德国学生Enzweiler与Munder在CVPR与IEEE Transaction on PAMI上发表了一系列的识别分类的文章，个人感觉已经很成一个理论体系了。很值得学习。

   由 此也想到了关于科研人员研究内容与方向的问题，我们的研究究竟需要一个怎么样的定位？究竟是要解决理论问题还是解决与生产、工业以及人们生活相关的问题？ 究竟是为了研究而研究还是确实为了解决实际问题而研究？是为了发表几篇论文、或者为了评评职称而研究？个人认为一定要有一个好的方向定位与认真的态度，如 果有研究兴趣与研究热情，我们的研究确实又是前瞻性的，确实能解决一些实际问题，这应当是一件非常开心的事情，按照一个自己感兴趣的方向延续下去，顺便将 研究成果整理一下就有了论文、专利等成果。
