KEYNOTE: Event Sensing on Distributed Video-Sensor Networks
Prof. Edward Chang, University of California, Santa Barbara

Abstract: Video sensors (video cameras) and wireless broadband networks are becoming ubiquitous features of modern life. The confluence of these two technologies now makes it possible to construct wireless ad hoc networks of multiple video sensors that can be rapidly deployed, dynamically configured, and continuously operated to provide highly-available coverage for environment monitoring and security surveillance. While many extended “eyes” are being installed at an unprecedented pace, the intelligence needed for interpreting video-sensing events by computers is still rather unsophisticated.  In addition, algorithms that can scale well with the number of sensors and high-volume of data are yet to be developed for effectively managing and mining video-sensor data streams. In order to develop a “brain” behind a large number of optical “eyes” to support (semi-) automatic event sensing, statistical methods are essential for improving the two major phases of event sensing: 1) data fusion and 2) event mining.  The data-fusion phase integrates multi-source data to detect and extract motion trajectories from video sources.  The event-mining phase deals with classifying the events as to relevance for the query.  This talk presents recently developed statistical methods in energy-preserving data sampling and filtering, spatio-temporal data fusion, sequence-data mining, change and outlier detection, and multi-resolution and multimodal statistical learning. We will also discuss future directions that research might take.

Biography: Professor Chang received his M.S. in Computer Science and PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University in 1994 and 1999, respectively. Since 2003, he is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His recent research activities are in the areas of image/video databases, machine learning, data mining, and high-performance IO systems. He is particularly interested in application of machine-learning theoretical approaches to fundamental problems in image/video retrieval and sensor-data fusion and mining. Recent research contributions of his group include methods for learning image/video query concepts via active learning, formulating distance functions via dynamic associations and kernel alignment, managing and fusing distributed video-sensor data, and categorizing and indexing high-dimensional image/video information. Professor Chang has served on several conference program committees including ACM SIGMOD, ACM Multimedia, ACM CIKM, SIAM Data Mining, International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, International Conference on Computer Vision, and etc. He co-chaired the first two annual ACM Video Sensor Network Workshop in 2003 and 2004, and will co-chair three major Multimedia conferences in the next two years.  He serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering. Professor Chang is a recipient of the IBM Faculty Partnership Award from 2000 to 2002, and the NSF Career Award in 2002. He is a founding member of two startup ventures: VIMA Technologies, which provides image searching and filtering solutions; Proximex, which supports homeland security applications.
