Michael Black - Biographical Sketch
Michael Black received his B.Sc. from the University of British Columbia (1985), his M.S. from Stanford (1989), and his Ph.D. in computer science from Yale University (1992). After post-doctoral research at the University of Toronto, he joined the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1993 where he later managed the Image Understanding area and founded the Digital Video Analysis group. From 2000 to 2010 he was on the faculty of Brown University in the Department of Computer Science (Assoc. Prof. 2000-2004, Prof. 2004-2010). He is one of the founding directors at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany where he leads the Perceiving Systems department. The MPI studies intelligent systems from molecules to machines. He is an Honorarprofessor at University of Tübingen in Computer Science, a Visting Professor of Electrical Engineering at the ETH Zürich, and an Adjunct Professor (Research) in Computer Science at Brown University.
He is a recipient of the 2010 Koenderink Prize for Fundamental Contributions in Computer Vision and the 2013 Helmholtz Prize for work that has stood the test of time. His work has won several paper awards including the IEEE Computer Society Outstanding Paper Award for his work with P. Anandan on robust optical flow estimation (CVPR'91). His work received Honorable Mention for the Marr Prize in 1999 (with David Fleet) and 2005 (with Stefan Roth). For his work on forensic video analysis he received the Commendation and Chief's Award from the Henrico County Division of Police in Virginia. His early work on optical flow was widely used in Hollywood in films like “The Matrix Reloaded” and for the Academy-Award-winning effects in “What Dreams May Come.” He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He a co-founder and member of the board of directors of Body Labs Inc., which focuses on applications of 3D human body shape.
Prof. Black's research interests in machine vision include optical flow estimation, human shape and motion analysis and probabilistic models of the visual world. In computational neuroscience his work focuses on probabilistic models of the neural code and applications of neural decoding in neural prosthetics.

Steve LaValle is a keynote speaker for the Symposium on Applied Perception 2015.
Steve LaValle - Biographical Sketch
Steve LaValle worked with Oculus VR in September 2012, a
few days after the Oculus Kickstarter campaign, and in March 2013,
moved to California to the become the head scientist up until the
$2 billion Facebook acquisition in March 2014. He developed
perceptually tuned head tracking methods based on IMUs and
computer vision. He also led a team of perceptual psychologists to
provide principled approaches to virtual reality system calibration
and the design of comfortable user experiences. He is presently Professor of
Computer Science at the University of Illinois, where he joined in 2001. He has worked in
robotics and related fields for over 20 years and is known for his introduction of the
Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm of motion planning and
his 2006 book, Planning Algorithms.
