Overview
About the project
Have you ever imagined having a robot that cooks every meal for you? Have you ever dreamt about experiencing a different world in the Metaverse? Have you ever expected to have your glasses tell you where you left your keys and how to navigate to your favorite restaurant step by step? If yes, egocentric video understanding is what can lead you there. Egocentric videos are videos recorded from the first-person point of view, with the camera mounted on the head (e.g., GoPro) or smart glasses worn alongside the eyes (e.g., Google glasses), and they are what you actually see in your eyes.
The Egocentric Video Understanding (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University Of Science and Technology (KAUST)
We need the AI system to automatically analyze and understand this type of videos to achieve the goals mentioned above. There are two key aspects in this problem:
- large egocentric video data to fuel AI solutions;
- effective techniques to generate correct predictions.
