The Information Processing and Algorithms Laboratory (iPAL) is directed by Prof. Vishal Monga. Graduate research in iPAL focuses on convex and non-convex optimization methods in learning, vision and signal processing. Our particular interest is in estimation frameworks where domain inspired prior knowledge is captured. This invariably leads to challenging optimization problems for which we develop new tractable solutions that facilitate a favorable performance-complexity trade-off.
Attaching attributes (such as color, shape, state, action) to object categories is an important computer vision problem. Attribute prediction has seen exciting recent progress and is often formulated as a multi-label classification problem. Yet significant challenges remain in: 1) predicting a large number of attributes over multiple object categories, 2) modeling category-dependence of attributes, 3) methodically capturing both global and local scene context, and 4) robustly predicting attributes of objects with low pixel-count ...

This book discusses imaging science and provides tools for solving image processing and computer vision problems using convex optimization methods. Throughout the handbook, the authors introduce topics on the most key aspects of image acquisition and processing that are based on the formulation and solution of novel optimization problems.
