Scientific Report on TUM-IAS Fellowship
We in the Visual Computing Focus Group are research enthusiasts pushing the state of the art at the intersection of computer vision, graphics, and machine learning. Our research mission is to obtain high-quality digital models of the real world, which include detailed geometry, surface texture, and material in both static and dynamic environments. full report
Short CV
Luisa Verdoliva is Associate Professor at University Federico II of Naples (Italy). In 2018 she has been visiting professor at Friedrich-Alexander-University (FAU) in the Computer Graphics Group and in 2019-2020 she has been visiting scientist at Google AI in San Francisco in the Perception team. Her scientific interests are in the field of image processing, with main contributions in the area of multimedia forensics. She has been general co-Chair of the 2019 ACM Workshop on Information Hiding and Multimedia Security, technical Chair of the 2019 IEEE Workshop in Information Forensics and Security. Since 2016 she is area chair of IEEE ICIP. She is on the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security and IEEE Signal Processing Letters. Dr. Verdoliva is Chair of the IEEE Signal Processing Society's Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee and has been elevated to the grade of IEEE Fellow, effective January 1, 2021. Her research is funded by DARPA, Google, Italian Ministry of Research.
