Biography
Dr. Richard Mann is a Associate professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Mann's research interests are in computational perception with emphasis on motion perception and event recognition. Mann's long term research goal is to develop a rigorous computational framework for visual perception that leads to effective tools for tackling a wide range of problems in computational vision. His research seeks to answer two fundamental questions in perception: First, what computational machinery is necessary to build an artificial (computational) perceptual system. Second, what type of world knowledge is necessary for a perceptual system to "understand'' a particular visual domain.
