Bio: Yuhao Zhu is an Associate Professor of Computer Science, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and an affiliated faculty member of Center for Visual Science, all at University of Rochester, where he and his students are mostly drawn to research problems at the intersection of imaging, human vision, and computer architecture. More about his research can be found at: https://horizon-lab.org/.
Talk abstract: This talk will discuss some of our recent work on modeling human vision, especially color discrimination and chromatic adaptation, in immersive computing systems such as AR/VR, and how we use these models to drive the design of low-power AR/VR systems. If time permits, we will also discuss some recent results showing that non-convexity is *not* the reason why many perceptual metrics fail as a loss function in training image generation/rendering models.
