【 Introduction to new wisdom 】 To pay tribute to Professor huangxutao, a Chinese computer vision master , His students and family are in Huang Lao 86 On my birthday , A doctoral scholarship has been set up in the alma mater .

 

2022 year 6 month 26 Japan , Professor huangxutao, a leading figure in image processing and computer vision 86 Birthday .

On this occasion of commemoration , Previously, he worked in the research group of Professor Huang and his family , Together donated to set up 「Thomas and Margaret Huang」 Doctoral Scholarship , To support doctoral students in the Department of electronic and computer engineering at the University of Illinois .

Now the most popular meta universe , Its basic technology —— Three dimensional reconstruction and multimedia retrieval , Thanks to Professor Huang .

Students who have become top scholars in the field of artificial intelligence , They also expressed their feelings of remembrance . Lei Yong 、 Yan Shuicheng means in the circle of friends ：

 

Today is the leader of image processing and computer vision , Mentor Thomas Huang Professor Huang xutao 86 Birthday , And several martial brothers as well as Tom The family donated together to set up Thomas and Margaret PhD Fellowship.Tom and Margaret Treat students as if they were children or family members . I hope this award can help more UIUC Young students .‍

Computer vision guru's life

 

 

Huang xutao 1936 Born in Shanghai in , Grew up in Taiwan, China ,1956 Graduated from the Department of electrical engineering, National Taiwan University .

Huang xutao is not only an academician of the National Academy of engineering , He is also a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering 、 Foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences 、 Academician of academia sinica , It's computer vision 、 pattern recognition 、 One of the most senior Chinese scientists in multimedia and other fields .

Huang xutao is in image processing 、 Pattern recognition and computer vision have made pioneering research contributions .

Including the design and test of multidimensional digital filter 、 Digital holography 、 File and image compression technology , And faces 、 hand 、 trunk 3D modeling 、 Analysis and Visualization 、 Multimodal man-machine interface 、 Multimedia database, etc .

He also invented predictive differential quantization （PDQ） Two dimensional fax of （ file ） Compression method , This method has been developed into an international G3/G4FAX Compression standard ; In the field of multidimensional digital signal processing , A theory about the stability of recursive filters is proposed ; A formula for estimating three-dimensional motion from two-dimensional image sequences is established , It opens a new field for image processing and computer vision .

Besides , His research team has also implemented a system based on speech recognition and visual sign language analysis to control the display .

have pupils everywhere ： Lifeifei's life tutor

 

 

In addition to the rich research results , Mr. huangxutao is also full of peaches and plums in his life .

Professor huangxutao's students 、 Professor Wu Ying from Northwestern University once worked in 《 Visual search 》 In the special issue 12 A word describes Tom My academic life , Indifferent to fame and wealth 、 Accomplish sth. lasting by leading a quiet life 、 Seeking the simplest way .

Old Huang taught 50 year , More than 100 postgraduates have been trained directly .

Innumerable in AI The younger generation of famous students who have made great achievements in the field have been instructed by him , These include ： Yan Shuicheng , Cloud comes from Zhouxi of science and technology , Han Xu and Ning Huazhong , The Yellow bath of singularity automobile .

in addition , Lifeifei was also instructed by Professor huangxutao , And see it as a life coach .

She once said , His early work was taught by Huang Jiao , without Tom Support for , She can't be a professor .

2020 year ,CVPR It is the first time to set up in the field of computer vision Thomas S. Huang A Memorial Award , from 2021 Every year since the year CVPR Issued on .

It is worth mentioning that ,CVPR 2022 The huangxutao Memorial Award was awarded to Professor lifeifei of Stanford University .

May the spiritual heritage of Huang Lao survive forever ！‍
