Invited Speaker:
Christopher B. Jones
from the School of Computer Science at
Cardiff University (UK).
Title:
Where on Earth was that? Automated photo captioning with geographical context.
Abstract
The presence of GPS devices in association with digital cameras
provides the possibility of reverse geo-coding from the coordinates to
generate place names for captioning the photos. Some cameras also have
a digital compass which enables greater precision in anticipating the
likely subject of the photo. This talk presents an overview of a
natural language photo captioning system that aims to describe the
geographical context of the photo with regard to its possible subject,
in association with proximal and regional place names. A corpus of
captioned photos was used to build field-based models of the
applicability of spatial prepositions and to create templates
corresponding to several common patterns of caption language. An
online meta-gazetteer that accesses multiple sources of place name
geo-data is used to retrieve candidate place names that are combined
with appropriate spatial prepositions to instantiate the caption
templates. The use of semantically enhanced 3D city models is also
demonstrated to create more detailed photo scene descriptions.
Short Bio:
Chris Jones has been Professor of Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
in the School of
Computer Science & Informatics at
Cardiff University, UK,
since 2000.
He has held previous academic positions at the University of Glamorgan
and the University of Cambridge. Prior to his academic career, he was
employed on geological computing applications at BP Exploration and at
the British Geological Survey.
Current research interests focus on the area of geographical
information retrieval including the development of online gazetteers,
semantic enrichment of 3D city models and the use of spatial language in
mobile applications for photo captioning and augmented reality.
He has also worked in the areas of automated cartographic design with
regard to
map generalisation and automated text placement;
multiscale spatial databases;
environmental change detection; spatio-temporal data modelling; and
the computer reconstruction and visualisation of fossils.
Research in the field of map labelling led to the initial development of
the Maplex label placement software marketed by ESRI.
He has received research funding from UK Research councils, industry
and the European Commission and has published widely in journals and
conferences in the field of geographical information science, as well
as publishing a text book on GIS and Computer Cartography.
Invited Special Presentation
Speaker:
Andreas Sasse
from the
Volkswagen Group Research (DE).
Title:
Map 2.0: Challenges in the use of Spatial Data in the Automotive Domain
Short Bio:
Andreas Sasse holds a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the Technische Universität Braunschweig in Germany,
where he was employed as a Researcher at the Institute of Flight Guidance. During this time his research work
focused mainly on the use of satellite-based localization and navigation systems for safety relevant
applications in the Automotive domain. He was involved in different projects working on automatic and
autonomous driving.
Since 2010 Andreas Sasse works as a project manager for the Volkswagen Group Research,
Department of Driver Information Systems, in Wolfsburg. He is responsible for digital maps, extended floating
car data and data mining as well as for several applications based on the use of spatial data.
