SUMMARY:Visualization Technologies: From Data Collection to Display\, May 26
DESCRIPTION:The Visualization of data is one of our most powerful tools. It enables a remarkable degree of data compression and let’s us see important relationships or interconnections that we might otherwise miss. Visualization is relevant to every sector of the economy. \n                The one-day event “From Data Collection to Display: How Visualization Transforms Industries” enables you to discuss aspects of the visualization value chain\, from data collection to user-friendly interfaces with leading industry-experts and promising startups. We want to provide a forum where experts from both industrial and academic communities address scientific\, technology and service related issues on visualization. \n                The conference focuses on the driving need of industry to collect\, transmit and analyze huge amounts of data and covers various aspects of video communications\, including Generating of Data\, Communications\, Immersive Multimedia Displays and Industry Cases. It addresses a broad range of applications and services\, including video processing and delivery\, service issues and perspectives on areas of future development. \n                The event features speakers from organizations leading this field\, including Google\, Oracle\, UC Berkeley\, and the Heinrich-Hertz-Institute.

SUMMARY:Theory of Computation as a Lens on the Sciences\, May 7-8\, 2011
DESCRIPTION:The conference will explore the theme that many processes in the physical\, biological\, engineering and social sciences involve information processing at a fundamental level and can be studied through computational models. A conference held in Berkeley in May\, 2002 helped crystallize this theme as a promising direction of research\, and this second conference will highlight the impact of the computational lens on areas such as quantum information science\, statistical physics\, social networks\, economics and game theory\, genetics\, molecular biology\, evolutionary biology\, cognitive science\, mathematics\, statistics and machine learning.

SUMMARY:The Future of ICT to Build a Smarter Planet: i4science series\, May 5
DESCRIPTION:This talk will review the exciting current trends and future directions in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to enable a Smarter Planet. The implication for society\, ICT workforce\, and technical education will be explored. With an anemic economic recovery underway and globalization concerns creating uncertainty\, community-minded ICT educators should take heart and continue to be motivated for several key reasons that will be presented The ICT transformation that happened in the private sector is about to happen for the public sector\, but in some surprising ways that will increase demand for local ICT education especially. This talk will provide a broad\, high-level view of local and global changes\, and what will drive the local\, regional demand for ICT talent in the future. \n                Dr. James Spohrer works to align IBM and universities in regional innovation ecosystems globally. Previously\, he helped found IBM’s first Service Research group\, the global Service Science community\, and was founding CTO of IBM’s Venture Capital Relations Group in Silicon Valley.

SUMMARY:Trends in NeuroScience: i4science series\, May 5
DESCRIPTION:The Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience is a group of theorists consisting of faculty\, postdocs and graduate students. The goal is to develop mathematical and computational models of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms involved in perception\, cognition\, learning\, and motor function. The center collaborates with experimental neuroscience labs in the design of experiments and in the analysis of neural data. We also train students at UC Berkeley in these ideas and methods. Members of the Redwood Center typically have backgrounds in computer science\, physics and mathematics\, in addition to neuroscience. We seek insight into the workings of the brain at many levels through the continual interaction between theory and experiment. \n                3:00- 3:30 p.m. \n                “Finding Patterns of Activity in Large-Scale Neural Recordings” \n                Director\, Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience \n                Professor\, Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and School of Optometry\, University of California\, Berkeley \n                3:30-4:00 p.m. \n                “Online Repositories for Neuroscience Enable Concerted Efforts to Understand the Brain” \n                \, Associate Adjunct Professor\, Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience & Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute\, University of California\, Berkeley

SUMMARY:Two Earthquakes in Christchurch\, NZ: Lessons for California\, May 4
DESCRIPTION:UCB’s own professor of architecture\, Mary Comerio\, visited Christchurch\, New Zealand\, after the September 2010 M7.1 earthquake and after its surprisingly damaging February 2011 M6.3 aftershock. She will talk about the tectonic setting of the two earthquakes and why the damage from the smaller one harbors important lessons for California. \n                Since 2003\, the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory has been hosting public lectures\, the Lawson Lectures\, on earthquakes and earthquake science. The lecture series is meant to address a wide variety of earthquake issues of interest to the Berkeley community.

SUMMARY:Fast\, Automated\, 3D Modeling of Building Interiors\, May 4
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the spring semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Automated 3D modeling of building interiors is useful in applications such as virtual reality and entertainment. In this talk\, we develop an architecture and associated algorithms for fast\, automatic\, photo-realistic 3D models of building interiors. The central challenge of such a problem is to localize the acquisition device while it is in motion\, rather than collecting the data in a stop and go fashion. In the past\, such acquisition devices have been placed on robots with wheels or human operated pushcarts\, which would limit their use to planar environments. Our goal is to address the more difficult problem of localization and 3D modeling in more complex non-planar environments such as staircases\, or caves. Thus\, we propose a human operated backpack system made of a suite of sensors such as laser scanners\, cameras\, inertial measurement units (IMU)s which are used to both localize the backpack\, and build the 3D geometry and texture of the scene. The two main challenges to localizing a human operated backpack system in indoor environments are (a) lack of GPS\, and (b) having to recover six degrees of freedom (DoF) pose information\, rather than 3 DoF namely\, x\,y\, and yaw\, typically used in wheeled systems on planar floors. As it turns out\, the small pitch\, roll and z variations for typical human gait cannot be ignored for the full 6 dimensional pose recovery made of x\,y\,z\, pitch\, roll and yaw. We propose a number of scan matching and visual odometry based localization algorithms and compare their performance using a high end IMU sensor which serves as the ground truth. We also propose a number of 3D model generation approaches\, and show examples of resulting models for multiple floors of the electrical engineering building at U.C. Berkeley.
