Colloquium: Research Talk by Prof. Dr. Michael Möller Colloquium: Research Talk by Prof. Dr. Michael Möller on October 2

We cordially invite you to the colloquium of Prof. Dr. Michael Möller on October 2!

On October 2, 10:15 to 11:45 a.m., Prof. Dr. Michael Möller, Professor for Computer Vision at the University of Siegen, will give a Research Talk.

The research talk is dedicated to the topic “Off the Grid - Neural Representations and Neural Operators for Image Processing“. 

Abstract:
While images are classically represented on a regular grid of pixels, recent research has become increasingly interested in neural representations, i.e., the representation of scenes via parameterized continuous functions similar to neural networks. In this talk I will discuss particular aspects of such representations: I will show how neural representations of segmentation masks allow enforcing constraints that are difficult to enforce in a classical pixel-wise segmentation, and illustrate how suitable neural representations of a video allow decomposing scenes in such a way that individual objects can be edited easily. Finally, I will discuss that the perspective of viewing images as functions leads to common image-to-image networks becoming neural operators, and illustrate different architectures for such neural operators at the example of improving the reconstruction of linear inverse problems.
