Dr. Dimitris Tzionas is an assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam. He conducts research on the intersection of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics and Machine Learning. His motivation is to understand and model how people look, move and interact with the physical world and with each other to perform tasks. This involves: (1) accurately “capturing” real people and their whole-body interactions with scenes and objects, (2) modeling their shape, pose and interaction relationships, (3) applying these models to reconstruct real-life actions in 3D/4D and (4) using these models to generate realistic interacting avatars in 3D/4D. Potential applications include Ambient Intelligence, Virtual Assistants, Human-Computer/Robot Interaction and Mixed Reality. The long-term goal is to develop human-centered AI that perceives humans, understands their behavior and helps them to achieve their goals.

Dr. Logan Wade is a Research Fellow at the University of Bath, United Kingdom. As a clinical biomechanist, his research harnesses computer vision and machine learning to identify how patients move, with the goal of integrating biomechanical measures into clinical practice. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence has seen the rise of motion capture methods that are fast and minimally invasive, allowing collection of data in clinics that was previously restricted to high-end biomechanical laboratories. However, while the accuracy of these systems has drastically improved over the past decade, determining if their accuracy is sufficient for use on an individual patient level is still to be determined. His long-term goal is to develop computer vision tools that are clinically relevant, employing mediums such as markerless video capture to identify movements of the body and 3D ultrasound to examine patient-specific spinal postures.
