h correlation, correlation trackers) and in image processing (image filtering/denoising/restoration). 3D convolutions are very important for machine learning (video analysis through CNNs) and for video filtering/denoising/restoration. 1D convolutions are extensively used in digital signal processing (filtering/denoising)  and analysis (also through CNNs). Therefore, 2D convolution and correlation algorithms are very important both for machine learning and for signal/image/video processing and analysis. As their computational complexity is of the order O(N^4), their fast execution is a must. This lecture will overview 1D/2D linear and cyclic convolution. Then it will present their fast execution through FFTs, resulting in algorithms having computational complexity of the order O(Nlog2N), O(N^2log2N) for 1D and 2D convolutions respectively. Parallel block-based 2D convolution/calculation methods will be overviewed.  The use of 2D convolutions in Convolutional Neural Networks will be presented.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Lecturer: Prof. Ioannis Pitas</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'> (IEEE fellow, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, EURASIP fellow) received the Diploma and PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, both from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Since 1994, he has been a Professor at the Department of Informatics of the same University. He served as a Visiting Professor at several Universities.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>His current interests are in the areas of image/video processing, machine learning, computer vision, intelligent digital media, human centered interfaces, affective computing, 3D imaging and biomedical imaging. He has published over 1138 papers, contributed in 50 books in his areas of interest and edited or (co-)authored another 11 books. He has also been member of the program committee of many scientific conferences and workshops. In the past he served as Associate Editor or co-Editor of 9 international journals and General or Technical Chair of 4 international conferences. He participated in 70 R&D projects, primarily funded by the European Union and is/was principal investigator/researcher in 42 such projects. He has 30000+ citations to his work and h-index 81+ (Google Scholar). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Prof. Pitas lead the big European H2020 R&D project MULTIDRONE: <a href="https://multidrone.eu/">https://multidrone.eu/</a></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> <span style='color:black'>and is principal investigator (AUTH)  in H2020 projects Aerial Core and AI4Media. He is chair of the Autonomous Systems initiative <a href="https://ieeeasi.signalprocessingsociety.org/">https://ieeeasi.signalprocessingsociety.org/</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Prof. I. Pitas: </span><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="https://scholar.google.gr/citations?user=lWmGADwAAAAJ&hl=el">https://scholar.google.gr/citations?user=lWmGADwAAAAJ&hl=el</a></span></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>AIIA Lab </span><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="http://www.aiia.csd.auth.gr">www.aiia.csd.auth.gr</a></span></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Lectures will consist primarily of live lecture streaming and PPT slides. Attendees (registrants) need no special computer equipment for attending the lecture. They will receive the lecture PDF before each lecture and will have the ability to ask questions real-time. Audience should have basic University-level undergraduate knowledge of any science or engineering department (calculus, probabilities, programming, that are typical e.g., in any ECE, CS, EE undergraduate program).  More advanced  knowledge (signals and systems, optimization theory, machine learning) is very helpful but nor required.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=M
