Intelligent monitoring of complex environements

Context awareness approaches for adaptive image and video segmentation, including:

• Environmental conditions modeling
• Segmentation performance evaluation
• Algorithm parameters optimization

Scene understanding, including:

• Ontology-based knowledge modeling
• Interactive tools for knowledge extraction (e.g. intelligent distributed annotation tool)
• Event Recognition (semantic world)

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for computer vision (cognitive vision)

• Statistical modeling of spatiotemporal events
• Data fusion based on bayesian networks (e.g. fusion of multi-sensor data)
• Supervised and unsupervised learning in general (clustering, SVM, HMM, etc.)
