Grant: Canada Research Chairs

York University

$200,000.00

Computer Vision

FY 2020-21

Summary
This research program aims to improve the understanding of the physical world through camera images by: (1) investigating image formation models that describe how incoming light (i.e., physical scene irradiance) is converted to camera sensor responses under different imaging scenarios and (2) designing novel in-camera imaging pipelines that produce image outputs suitable for both photographic and scientific tasks. Dr. Browns program is strongly aligned with York Universitys $33.3 million Canada First Research Excellence Fund program, Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA), which focuses on research in biological and computational computer vision.
