DESCRIPTION:Prof. Kyros Kutulakos\, University of Toronto\nConventional ca
 meras record all light falling onto their sensor regardless of the path th
 at light followed to get there. In this talk I will present an emerging fa
 mily of video cameras that can be programmed to record just a fraction of 
 this light\, based on the actual 3D path followed. Live video from these c
 ameras offers a very unconventional view of our everyday world in which re
 fraction and scattering can be selectively blocked or enhanced\, visual st
 ructures too subtle to notice with the naked eye can become apparent\, and
  object appearance can depend on depth. I will discuss the basic theory an
 d unique optical properties of these "transport-aware" cameras\, as well a
 s their potential for material analysis\, 3D shape acquisition\, robust ti
 me-of-flight imaging\, and scene understanding.\nBio: Kyros Kutulakos is 
 a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. He received 
 his PhD degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1994 and his BS
  degree from the University of Crete in 1988\, both in Computer Science. I
 n addition to the University of Toronto\, he has held appointments at the 
 University of Rochester (1995-2001) and Microsoft Research Asia (2004-05 a
 nd 2011-12). He is the recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship\, an Ont
 ario Premier's Research Excellence Award\, and five best paper awards (CVP
 R 1994\, ICCV 1999\, ICCV 2005\, ECCV 2006\, CVPR 2014). He has also serve
 d as Program Co-Chair of CVPR 2003\, ICCP 2010\, and ICCV 2013.
