+ Professor Emanuele Trucco + ,"NRP Chair of Computational Vision and VAMPIRE project director". +

+ + + +

Emanuele Trucco, MSc, PhD, FRSA, is the NRP Chair of + Computational Vision in the School of Computing, University of + Dundee, and an Honorary Clinical Researcher at Ninewells Hospital + and Medical School. His 30-year research has covered applications of + computer vision to manufacturing, subsea robotics, immersive + videoconferencing, and medical image analysis, funded by UK research + councils, EU programmes, charities (e.g. the Royal Society, the + Leverhulme Trust) and industry (incl. continuous funding from OPTOS + plc since 2002). + Current medical image analysis research includes vision for robotic + hydrocolonoscopy (EU ERC "CODIR"), the analysis of whole-body MR + angiographic data (with Toshiba Edinburgh), and the VAMPIRE + initiative (Vessel Assessment and Measurement Platform for images of + the REtina), an international collaboration of 10 image processing + and clinical centres which he co-leads with Dr Tom MacGillivray of + the Clinical Research Imaging Centre, University of Edinburgh. + VAMPIRE has been growing a software suite for efficient, + semi-automatic analysis of retinal images (vasculature + quantification, lesions), in use for retinal biomarker studies on, + among others, cardiovascular risk, stroke, cognitive performance, + neurodegenerative diseases, dementia, and genetics. VAMPIRE was the + first automatic system ever applied to UK Biobank retinal images. + Emanuele has published more than 160 refereed papers and co-authored + two textbooks, one of which ("Introductory techniques for 3-D + computer vision", with Prof Alessandro Verri of the University of + Genova, Italy) has become an international standard (2,516 + citations, Google Scholar March 2014). +

How would you like to make a difference at + TEDxUniversityOfDundee?

+

I firmly believe that research has at + least two key dimensions. + One is the technical challenge of advancing knowledge; + discovering new facts about the world, introducing new + technologies, and how all this can be used to benefit society. + The other is the human dimension of research: the fact that + research is carried out by people, who bring great richness to a + group as individuals, with their histories, their experiences + and their personalities. A group of people is so much more than + their technical skills, however excellent. I am fascinated by + this dimension of research, and strive to make my own research + group not only a success in terms of publications, grants and + awards, but also a community in which individuals learn to + share, laugh and flourish as scientists and as persons. + I hope to be able to put across this message as inspiringly as + possible!
