8:05pm Talk2: AI Deep Learning Technology and its Applications
by Dr Charles Cheung, PhD, Deep Learning Solution Architect/Data Scientist,
Nvidia AI Technology Centre, Nvidia
[Topics] ISSAC - The Future of Programming Robots
[Abstract] Isaac SDK is NVIDIAs software development kit for robotics. At the core of Isaac is the Isaac Robot Engine which allows you to build modular and high-speed robotic applications and easily deploy them to Jetson platforms. Isaac also comes with over 30 GEMs providing solutions for hard robotics problems like navigation or perception algorithms. In this talk, I will give an overview of ISSAC and some use case in robotic.
[Bio] Dr Charles CHEUNG is currently a Deep Learning Solution Architect and Data Scientist in NVIDIA AI Technology Center Hong Kong. Prior joining NVIDIA, he worked in Hong Kong Applied Science Technology and Research Institute for applied research. He leads the project team of machine vision group to develop deep learning solution for industrial defect inspection. The solution greatly helps the factory to increase the production stability and reduce the inspection time for quality control department.
Charles obtained the bachelor’s degree and PhD degree in applied and computational mathematics from Hong Kong Baptist University. His research focus on computational science, partial differential equation, computer vision and artificial intelligence.
8:25pm Talk3: Computer Vision Technology and its Applications
by Mr Calvin Kam, Computer Science PhD Candidate, CUHK & HKETA Youth Member
[Abstract] Computer Vision allows computers to “see” and understand things from images and videos. With the advances in technology, some research work has been matured enough to be applied to the daily life, such as autonomous driving and smart cities. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the basics of computer vision and how it is applied around us in Hong Kong, In addition, I will present my work on the combination of computer vision and hardware to track human hands.
[Bio] Calvin Kam is currently a PhD candidate in Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He research interest is Computer Vision, which focuses on various work related to virtual reality, such as human pose estimation and understand, marker-based tracking and indirect camera registrations for robotic applications. He recently devotes time to the STEM education in Blueinno Technology, which helps inspiring the next generations.
He attained a Bachelor’s degree of Science in Computer Science, with first class honour, from Hong Kong Baptist University.
