Sensory Gap: Why you shouldn't overlook it

Abstract

This Show & Tell session will begin by introducing the sensory and semantic gap. The sensory gap will then be the focus, and its causes (e.g., resolution, perspective, scale, field of view) will be highlighted with a visual demonstration. This will be followed by a quick experiment involving the audience, and results will be processed in real time, with the purpose of visually quantifying and demonstrating the sensory gap. Concluding the Show & Tell session will be a section concentrating on why the sensory gap is important to consider for practical applications, such as annotation tools, and image learning and mining systems.
