Prof. Arnold Smeulders
The University of Amsterdam is an academic institution engaged in higher level education and research. It is a public institution providing higher level education to more than 20.000 students in several fields, covering medicine, humanistic, scientific and technological areas. Technological disciplines are the main subject for the Faculty of Science. The Laboratory for Intelligent Systems has three research groups. One of them, Intelligent Sensory Information Systems, consists of five faculty funded by the University and eighteen others from a variety of sources. ISIS has an extensive track record in public-private partnerships. The main research activities are in the fields of multimedia information processing, annotation of and retrieval from image and video data repositories, data space visualization, theory of computer vision, color in computer vision, multimedia data mining, and cognitive vision. Our most fundamental aim is to close the semantic gap between pictures and a verbal description of the pictures. We aim to do so by modelling physical, psychological and cultural rules governing pictures, as well as learning concepts from large multimedia repositories. In this context, systems have been designed and developed for content based retrieval of images and videos, semantic annotation of images and videos, multimedia ontology-based knowledge systems, and, advanced human-machine interaction for data space visualization. |
