Curriculum

Prof. Murino's main research interests and expertise involve computer vision and machine/deep learning, pattern recognition, image and signal processing, and neuroimaging/neuroscience (computational, mainly related to data analysis).

In particular:
  • His main research focus lies on deep learning nowadays, specifically on domain adaptation and generalization, multi-modal deep learning models, learning with privileged information, zero/one/few-shot learning, and disentangling representation models. Related applications involve classification and recognition in general, in supervised  and unsupervised scenarios, including (fine-grained) activity recognition.
  • He has particular interest in multimodal social signal processing approaches for the analysis of human behavior, with main applications related to surveillance and security, human-human and human-machine interaction, ambient intelligence, and retailing. Also major experience in standard industrial applicative domains such as visual inspection and automation.
  • He is also tackling biomedical applications: main work and interests lie in neuroimaging data analysis, namely Magnetic Resonance Imaging and, in particular, in the study of neural correlates responsible of (social) behavior, with applications in behavioral neurological pathologies (e.g., schizophrenia, autism, etc.) and brain function understanding in general. We deal with these problems using a connectomics approach, specifically by integrating structural and functional connectomics data/information.
  • He has a notable former experience in underwater vision (acoustical and optical), data fusion and sensory integration with applications on (underwater) object detection and recognition, object and scene reconstruction.
The research activities are performed in the context of EU, national and industrial projects in direct collaboration with other universities, research centers and companies.

Vision, Images, Patterns and Signals (VIPS)
VIPS activities are devoted to the analysis, recognition, modeling and prediction of multivariate multidimensional signals and patterns by artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. Specific expertise and application domains include image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, human-machine interaction, computer graphics, mixed reality and gaming, analysis and modeling of biomedical and neuroscience data for both basic and translational research.
Research interests
Topic Description Research area
Behavior analysis The goal is to study human inner and outer behavior in order to find possible brain correlates with the (outer) expressive behavior. In the context of behavioral diseases (e.g., autism, schizophrenia, Alzhaimer, Mild Cognitive Impairment, etc.), the main idea is to exploit computer vision and pattern recognition techniques to analyse nonverbal human behavior (face, posture, gesture, etc.) as well as neuroimaging data so to identify possible correlations or characteristic biomarkers. This research not only would support early diagnosis of the pathology but also the monitoring of the effects of the pharmacological treatment. Machine Intelligence
Machine learning
Image processing and computer vision Basic image processing, e.g. image enhancement, interpolation (digital zooming). Image processing applied to medical images, 2D and 3D segmentation, feature extraction, texture analysis. Optical flow extraction and processing. IMAGE PROCESSING AND COMPUTER VISION
Modellazione statistica di dati multimediali Modellazione di immagini e video, utilizzando strumenti statistici e probabilistici, quali modelli generativi (misture di Gaussiane, modelli di Markov a stati nascosti), discriminativi (Kernel Machines) ed embedding generativi, in spazi euclidei e non. Tale modellazione porta ad applicazioni come riconoscimento e rivelamento di oggetti, tracking, che si collocano nell'ambito della video sorveglianza, analisi di dati medicali e nell'analisi di segnali sociali o social signal processing. In particolare, le mie specialità attuali sono la re-identificazione e la detection per la sorveglianza, la segmentazione e classificazione per l'analisi di segnali medicali e l'analisi di attività interattive per il social signal processing. Machine Intelligence
Artificial intelligence
Neuroimaging Data Analysis This domain regards the analysis of data coming from sensing devices measuring the brain strucural and functional information. The main utilised device is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in its various modalities such as diffusion, structural, and functional MRI, as well as other sensors like EEG, fNIRS, MEG. The main goal is to better understanding brain functions by means of an integrated functional and structural analysis of the brain connectivity or of specific brain regions. This investigation is mainly performed with reference to neurological disorders - like autism and schizophrenia - and in comparison with control (healthy) subjects. Machine Intelligence
Machine learning
Sistemi avanzati per il riconoscimento Due sono gli ambiti principali di ricerca: 1) studio di descrittori di basso livello per addestrare classificatori avanzati; in questo caso, l'idea è di progettare descrittori compatti e informativi per l'object recognition e detection. Particolare enfasi viene data allo studio di descrittori giacenti su spazi non euclidei, come varietà Riemanniane, manipolando nozioni di Information Geometry 2) studio di tecniche di classificazione ibride generative e discriminative; qui l'obiettivo è di sfruttare le caratteristiche vincenti dei modelli generativi (misture di Gaussiane, modelli di Markov a stati nascosti, topic models) e dei modelli discriminativi (Support Vector Machines) combinandole attraverso meccanismi di embedding. In tal maniera, le misure di bontà dei classificatori risultanti superano quelle dei modelli di partenza. Machine Intelligence
Artificial intelligence
Pattern Recognition The main focus is on the study and development of automatic techniques and models able to extract information from real world data, typically in terms of classes or clusters. Special attention is on probabilistic models - like Hidden Markov Models, Mixtures, Topic Models - and on kernel machines - like Support Vector Machines. In these contexts the interest is in designing novel models/methodologies, like hybrid generative-discriminative methods, generative embeddings and kernels, novel classification or clustering schemes, model selection techniques and others. The focus is on reasoning on representation issues (how to extract features, how to process the original problem space) as well as on unconventional employment of standard techniques (like boosting or SVM for clustering). Another field of interest is the processing of sequential data (using for example Hidden Markov Model). Machine Intelligence
Machine learning
Video Surveillance and Monitoring This research aims at the analysis of people and the interpretation/recognition of human activities, possibly at the detection and prediction of events in unconstrained scenes, at individual, group and crowd level. In particular, the main target is on the analysis of nonverbal human behaviour, activities, and dialogue classification by considering vocal behavior, face & gazing, gesture & posture, space & environment. More specifically, the focus is on tracking and re-identification, object/person detection and classification, human pose estimation and activity recognition, automatic PTZ camera control, subjective surveillance, mobile sensing, data fusion.

In particular, 2D/3D object classification, 3D reconstruction, person detection and classification, video analysis and understanding, activity recognition, and in biometrics (face recognition and authentication, facial feature extraction, multimodal biometrics, behavioural biometrics) with application in video surveillance and biomedical image analysis.
