Title: Computer Vision for Human Supportive Technology

Abstract: Computer Vision is a branch of AI but it rather describes as independent technology to make an intelligent system to be useful for human life. Autonomous cars are just around corners as a new supportive technology for human life in the future. In the computer vision based or sensor-fusion methodology, it is so important to perform the human supportive technology development so that the experience regarding this taskwill be explained as an example with a real implementation associating with technological methods. While the feature based approaches mainly have been done before, it is much more addressed to uselearning based approaches for this kind of tasks in using computer vision. In the presentation, the general approach and ideology will be discussed for the general scope of human supportive technology and a specific example.
