Tandent Vision Science has opened a second research laboratory in Knoxville, Tennessee. The new laboratory uses advanced computational photographic methods to generate data for our computer vision research and is headed by Besma Abidi who also directs Tandent's Systems Testing Laboratory in Knoxville.

June 2008 - Tandent Presents New Reflection Model at CVPR 2008

Tandent Vision Science presents its paper, “A Bi-Illuminant Dichromatic Reflection Model for Understanding Images,” authored by our own Bruce Maxwell, Richard Mark Friedhoff, and Casey Smith at the 2008 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition in Anchorage, Alaska. The paper presents a new model for understanding the appearance of objects that exhibit both body and surface reflection under realistic illumination.

 

Tandent Vision Science congratulates our own Andrew Stein on the publication of his article, “Towards Unsupervised Whole-Object Segmentation: Combining Automated Matting with Boundary Detection,” at the 2008 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition in Anchorage, Alaska.
