In this lecture the work being performed by Microsoft's Advanced Technology Labs in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil will be described. In particular, recent advances in real-time video understanding for event detection on the cloud will be detailed, with the processing pipeline being presented as well as a top-down view of the whole system architecture running on the cloud. Finally, real world examples and use cases will be shown.

Leonardo Nunes is the lead researcher of Microsoft’s Advanced Technology Labs in Brazil where he investigates algorithms for real-time video understanding and event detection. He received his B.Sc. degree in electronics and computer engineering and his M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering, from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Dr. Nunes research focus in signal processing and machine learning, with special focus in audio and video signals, and computationally efficient methods. Prior to working to  Microsoft, he was a substitute professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and a principal scientist with Halliburton’s Applied Photonics Center. He received a top 10% award from the IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing in 2009. Dr. Nunes is an IEEE member.
