Title: Recent advances in neuromorphic visual systems - data compression and beyond

Abstract: 
Neuromorphic Vision Sensors (NVSs) are emerging sensors that acquire visual information asynchronously when changes occur in the scene. Their advantages versus synchronous capturing (frame-based video) include a low power consumption, a high dynamic range, an extremely high temporal resolution, and lower data rates. While this acquisition strategy results in much lower data rates than conventional video (in particular when the camera is fixed) NVS data can be further compressed and compression is required in many scenarios of interest. The talk will first introduce neuromorphic visual sensors and associated data and in the second part will present methodologies developed at Kingston University London to estimate the bitrate output by this sensors and to compress the relevant data, including lossless and lossy compression methods.


Bio:
Professor in the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and the Environment, Maria leads the Wireless Multimedia Networking Research Group and is MSc Field Leader. She received the Laurea in electronic engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Perugia (Italy) in 1998 and the PhD in Electronics and Computer Science from the University of Bologna (Italy) in 2002. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Maria has led the Kingston University team in national and international research projects funded by the European Commission (e.g., OPTIMIX, CONCERTO, QoE-NET, Qualinet), UK research councils (e.g., EPSRC, British Council, Royal Society), Innovate UK, and international industries.
Associate Editor (Senior) for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (2018–2021) and IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (2014–2018), she was lead guest editor for the IEEE JSAC special issue on "QoE-aware wireless multimedia systems" and editor for, e.g., IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, IEEE Multimedia, Int. Journal on Telemedicine and Applications. She has chaired / being part of the organizing committee of a number of conferences/workshops and is currently Technical Programme Committee chair for the International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX) and IEEE 26th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP). She is also an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer.
Maria is an Expert Evaluator and Panel Member for the European Commission and national research councils (e.g. EPSRC and MRC in the UK). She is a Board member of the Video Quality Expert Group (VQEG), part of the NetWorld2020 ETP Expert Group, a member of the IEEE Multimedia Communications technical committee, having served as vice-chair (2014–2016) and chair (2012–2014) of the 3D Rendering, Processing, Communications Interest Group. She is a member of the IEEE Standards Association and chairs the IEEE P3333.1.4 Working Group on the quality assessment of light field imaging.
Maria's research interests include multimedia communication systems, video quality assessment, neuromorphic vision, immersive systems, decision theory, machine learning, and medical applications. She authored more than 200 international scientific articles and book sections, international patents, and contributions to international standards (IEEE, ITU, ISO/IEC). She is named in the Stanford University list of the world's top 2% of scientists.
