ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Blaise Agüera y Arcas - Software architect
Blaise Agüera y Arcas works on machine learning at Google. Previously a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, he has worked on augmented reality, mapping, wearable computing and natural user interfaces.

Why you should listen

Blaise Agüera y Arcas is principal scientist at Google, where he leads a team working on machine intelligence for mobile devices. His group works extensively with deep neural nets for machine perception and distributed learning, and it also investigates so-called "connectomics" research, assessing maps of connections within the brain.

Agüera y Arcas' background is as multidimensional as the visions he helps create. In the 1990s, he authored patents on both video compression and 3D visualization techniques, and in 2001, he made an influential computational discovery that cast doubt on Gutenberg's role as the father of movable type.

He also created Seadragon (acquired by Microsoft in 2006), the visualization technology that gives Photosynth its amazingly smooth digital rendering and zoom capabilities. Photosynth itself is a vastly powerful piece of software capable of taking a wide variety of images, analyzing them for similarities, and grafting them together into an interactive three-dimensional space. This seamless patchwork of images can be viewed via multiple angles and magnifications, allowing us to look around corners or “fly” in for a (much) closer look. Simply put, it could utterly transform the way we experience digital images.

He joined Microsoft when Seadragon was acquired by Live Labs in 2006. Shortly after the acquisition of Seadragon, Agüera y Arcas directed his team in a collaboration with Microsoft Research and the University of Washington, leading to the first public previews of Photosynth several months later. His TED Talk on Seadragon and Photosynth in 2007 is rated one of TED's "most jaw-dropping." He returned to TED in 2010 to demo Bing’s augmented reality maps.

Fun fact: According to the author, Agüera y Arcas is the inspiration for the character Elgin in the 2012 best-selling novel Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

00:29
In the pastprošlost two and a halfpola, we'veimamo been very hardteško at work

U zadnjih dvije i pol godine, bili smo radišni

00:35
And we really are seeingvidim this in very differentdrugačiji termsUvjeti
7
20000
2000
I mi usitinu vidimo ovo u vrlo drugačijim stavkama
00:37
from the kindljubazan of mappingkartografija and directionsmjer sitemjesto

od vrste mapiranja i direkcijske stranice
00:39
that one is used to.

2000
na koje je čovjek naviknut.
00:41
So, the first thing that you mightmoć noticeobavijest about the mappingkartografija sitemjesto
10
26000
2000
Dakle, prvo što možete zamijetiti o mapiranju stranice,
00:43
is just the fluiditytečnost of the zoomingzumiranje and the panningpomicanja,
11
28000
2000
je sama fluidnost zumiranja i pomicanje okna,

that's where it comesdolazi from.

00:49
MappingMapiranje is, of coursenaravno,

2000
Mapiranje se, naravno,
00:51
not just about cartographyKartografija,
15
36000
2000
ne tiče samo kartografije,
00:53
it's alsotakođer about imagerylik.
16
38000
2000
ono se također odnosi na slikovno prikazivanje.
00:55
So, as we zoom-inZoom-u beyondIznad a certainsiguran levelnivo

21

3000
da bi vam prikazalo trodimenzionalnu strukturu grada, sve fasade.
01:08
Now, we see this spaceprostor, this three-dimensionaltrodimenzionalni environmentokolina,
22
53000

Sada, vidimo ovaj prostor, ovaj trodimenzionalan okoliš

01:34
So, for exampleprimjer, a couplepar of daysdana after the disasterkatastrofa in HaitiHaiti,

2000
Dakle primjerice, par dana poslije katastrofe na Haitiju,
01:36
we had an earthquakepotres mapkarta that showedpokazala

But I'm going to showpokazati you some more candybombon sortvrsta of stuffstvari.
37

Ali pokazat ću vam više slatkih stvari.
01:55
So, we see the imagerylik, of coursenaravno,
38
100000
4000
Dakle, vidimo slikovitost, naravno,

41
110000
2000
fotosinte koje su korisnici napravili.
02:07
I'm not going to diveronjenje into them eitherili, but photosynthsphotosynths are integratedintegriran into the mapkarta.
42
112000
3000
Neću zalaziti unutar njih, ali fotosinti su integrirani u mapu.
02:10
Everything that's casedslučaj in blueplava
43
115000
2000
Sve što je u plavom
02:12
is an areapodručje where we'veimamo takenpoduzete imagerylik on the groundtlo as well.
44
117000
5000
je područje gdje smo uzeli živo prikazivanje na zemlji.
02:17
And so, when you flyletjeti down --
45
122000
2000
Tako da, kada letite dolje --
02:19
(ApplausePljesak)
46
124000
2000
(Pljesak)
02:21
Thank you. When you flyletjeti down to the groundtlo,
47
126000
2000
Hvala vam. Kada slijećete na zemlju,
02:23
and you see this kindljubazan of panoramicpanoramski imagerylik,
48
128000
3000
i vidite ovu vrstu panoramskog živog prikazivanja,
02:26
the first thing that you mightmoć noticeobavijest is that it's not just a pictureslika,
49
131000
4000
prva stvar koju možda primjetite je da to nije samo slika,
02:30
there's just as much three-dimensionaltrodimenzionalni understandingrazumijevanje of this environmentokolina
50
135000
3000
postoji i toliko trodimenzionalnog razumijevanja ovog okoliša
02:33
as there is of the three-dimensionaltrodimenzionalni cityGrad from aboveiznad,
51
138000
3000
koliko ima trodimenzionalnog grada odozgo,
02:36
so if I clickklik on something to get a closerbliže viewpogled of it,
52
141000
4000
dakle ako kliknem na nešto da bih dobio bolji pogled na to,
02:40
then, the factčinjenica that that transitiontranzicija looksizgled as it does,
53
145000
3000
onda, činjenica da tranzicija izgleda kako izgleda,
02:43
is a functionfunkcija of all of that geometrygeometrija,
54
148000
2000
je funkcija sve te geometrije,
02:45
all of that 3D understandingrazumijevanje behindiza this modelmodel.
55
150000
4000
sveg tog trodimenzionalnog razumijevanja iza ovog modela.
02:49
Now, I'll showpokazati you a funzabava appapp
56
154000
3000
Sada, pokazat ću vam zanimljivu aplikaciju
02:52
that -- we'veimamo been workingrad on a collaborationkolaboracija with our friendsprijatelji at FlickrFlickr.
57
157000
7000
na kojoj smo radili u suradnji s našim prijateljima u Flickru.
02:59
This takes FlickrFlickr, georegisteredgeoregistered imagerylik
58
164000
3000
Ovo uzima Flickrovo georegistrirano živo prikazivanje
03:02
and usesnamjene photosynth-likePhotosynth, kao processesprocesi
59
167000
3000
i koristi procese slične fotosintu
03:05
to connectSpojiti that imagerylik to our imagerylik, so --
60
170000
4000
kako bi povezao prikazivanje s našim prikazivanjem, dakle --
03:09
I'm not sure if that's the one I actuallyzapravo meantznačilo to pullVuci up, but --
61
174000
3000
nisam siguran da li je to taj kojeg sam ustvari htio izvući, ali --
03:12
(LaughterSmijeh)
62
177000
3000
(Smijeh)
03:15
But noticeobavijest -- this is, of coursenaravno, a popularpopularan touristturistička sitemjesto,
63
180000
4000
Primjetite -- ovo je, naravno, popularna turistička stranica,
03:19
and there are lots of photosfotografije around here,
64
184000
2000
i ima puno fotografija ovdje,
03:21
and these photosfotografije are all takenpoduzete at differentdrugačiji timesputa.
65
186000
3000
i ove fotografije su uzete u različitim vremenima.
03:24
So this one was takenpoduzete around fivepet.
66
189000
2000
Ova je uzeta oko pet.
03:26
So that's the FlickrFlickr photofoto,
67
191000
2000
Dakle to je Flickr fotografija,
03:28
that's our imagerylik.
68
193000
2000
to je naše prikazivanje.
03:30
So you really see how this kindljubazan of crowd-sourcedCrowd-source imagerylik
69
195000
3000
Zaista vidite kako ova vrsta masovno-izvornog prikazivanja
03:33
is integratingintegriranje, in a very deepduboko way, into the mapkarta itselfsebe.
70
198000
3000
je integrirana, na vrlo dubok način, u samu mapu.
03:36
(ApplausePljesak)
71
201000
2000
(Pljesak)
03:38
Thank you.
72
203000
2000
Hvala vam.
03:40
(ApplausePljesak)
73
205000
2000
(Pljesak)
03:42
There are severalnekoliko reasonsrazlozi why this is interestingzanimljiv
74
207000
2000
Ima više razloga zašto je ovo interesantno
03:44
and one of them, of coursenaravno, is time travelputovati.
75
209000
2000
i jedan od njih, naravno, je putovanje kroz vrijeme.
03:46
And I'm not going to showpokazati you some of the wonderfulpredivan historicpovijesni imagerylik in here,
76
211000
2000
I pokazat ću vam nešto od prekrasnog povijesnog prikazivanja ovdje,
03:48
but there are some with horseskonji and carriageskolica and so on as well.
77
213000
3000
ali ima nešto s konjima i kočijama i slično, također.
03:51
But what's coolsvjež about this is that, not only is it augmentingprimjene povećanja
78
216000
3000
No ono što je kul u svemu tome je da, ne samo da uvećava
03:54
this visualvidni representationprikaz of the worldsvijet
79
219000
2000
ovu vizualnu reprezentaciju svijeta
03:56
with things that are comingdolazak in from usersKorisnici,
80
221000
3000
sa stvarima koje dolaze od korisnika,
03:59
but it alsotakođer is the foundationtemelj for augmentedprošireni realitystvarnost,
81
224000
4000
nego također je temelj uvećane stvarnosti,
04:03
and that's something that I'll be showingpokazivanje you more of in just a momenttrenutak.
82
228000
3000
i to je nešto što ću vam pokazati za trenutak.
04:06
Now I just madenapravljen a transitiontranzicija indoorsu zatvorenom prostoru. That's alsotakođer interestingzanimljiv.
83
231000
4000
Sada sam samo napravio tranziciju unutra. To je također interesantno.
04:10
OK, noticeobavijest there's now a roofkrov aboveiznad us.
84
235000
2000
Dobro, primjetite da se sada nalazi krov iznad nas.
04:12
We're insideiznutra the PikeŠtuka PlaceMjesto MarketTržište.
85
237000
3000
Unutar smo Pike Place tržnice.
04:15
And this is something that we're ableu stanju to do with a backpackruksak camerafotoaparat,
86
240000
2000
I ovo je nešto što smo uspjeli napraviti s kamerom u naprtnjači,
04:17
so, we're now not only imagingobrada slike in the streetulica
87
242000
4000
dakle, ne prikazujemo slikovno samo na ulici
04:21
with this camerafotoaparat on topsvrhovima of carsautomobili,
88
246000
2000
s ovom kamerom na krovovima autiju,
04:23
but we're alsotakođer imagingobrada slike insideiznutra.
89
248000
4000
nego također prikazujemo unutrašnjost.
04:27
And from here, we're ableu stanju to do the sameisti sortsvrste of registrationRegistracija,
90
252000
5000
Odavde, sposobni smo napraviti iste vrste registracije,
04:32
not only of still imagesslika, but alsotakođer of videovideo.
91
257000
4000
ne samo zamrznutih slika, nego također videa.
04:36
So this is something that we're now going to try
92
261000
2000
Dakle, ovo je nešto što ćemo pokušati
04:38
for the first time, liveživjeti,
93
263000
2000
po prvi put, uživo,
04:40
and this is really, trulyuistinu, very frighteningzastrašujuć.
94
265000
3000
i ovo je stvarno, uistinu, vrlo užasavajuće.
04:43
(LaughterSmijeh)
95
268000
2000
(Smijeh)
04:46

2000
Uživo sam. U redu. Tako, idemo.
04:58
So, these are our friendsprijatelji in PikeŠtuka PlaceMjesto MarketTržište, the lablaboratorija.

Dakle oni se uživo prikazuju.
05:14
OK, GeorgeGeorge, can you pantava back over to the cornerugao markettržište?
105
299000
4000
U redu, George, možeš li prikazati natrag dio tržnice na uglu?
05:18
Because I want to showpokazati pointsbodova of interestinteres.
106
303000
4000
Jer želim prikazati točke od interesa.
05:22
No, no. The other way.

I to je Curtis Wong, iz Worldwide teleskopa.
06:56
So, we're going to headglava over to the dumpsterskontejnera,
142
401000
2000
Dakle, krenut ćemo prema kontejnerima,
06:58
where it's traditionaltradicionalan, after a long day at the markettržište,
143
403000
3000
gdje je tradicionalno, poslije dugog dana na tržnici,
07:01
to go out for a breakpauza, but alsotakođer starebuljiti up at the skynebo.
144
406000
4000
otići na pauzu, ali također zuriti u nebo.
07:05
This is the integrationintegracija

Ovo je sadašnje vrijeme, ali ako pročistimo vrijeme,
07:17
then we can see how the skynebo will look at differentdrugačiji timesputa,
150
422000
3000
onda možemo vidjeti kako će nebo izgledati u drugim vremenima,
07:20
and we can get all of this very detaileddetaljne

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Blaise Agüera y Arcas - Software architect
Blaise Agüera y Arcas works on machine learning at Google. Previously a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, he has worked on augmented reality, mapping, wearable computing and natural user interfaces.

Why you should listen

Blaise Agüera y Arcas is principal scientist at Google, where he leads a team working on machine intelligence for mobile devices. His group works extensively with deep neural nets for machine perception and distributed learning, and it also investigates so-called "connectomics" research, assessing maps of connections within the brain.

Agüera y Arcas' background is as multidimensional as the visions he helps create. In the 1990s, he authored patents on both video compression and 3D visualization techniques, and in 2001, he made an influential computational discovery that cast doubt on Gutenberg's role as the father of movable type.

He also created Seadragon (acquired by Microsoft in 2006), the visualization technology that gives Photosynth its amazingly smooth digital rendering and zoom capabilities. Photosynth itself is a vastly powerful piece of software capable of taking a wide variety of images, analyzing them for similarities, and grafting them together into an interactive three-dimensional space. This seamless patchwork of images can be viewed via multiple angles and magnifications, allowing us to look around corners or “fly” in for a (much) closer look. Simply put, it could utterly transform the way we experience digital images.

He joined Microsoft when Seadragon was acquired by Live Labs in 2006. Shortly after the acquisition of Seadragon, Agüera y Arcas directed his team in a collaboration with Microsoft Research and the University of Washington, leading to the first public previews of Photosynth several months later. His TED Talk on Seadragon and Photosynth in 2007 is rated one of TED's "most jaw-dropping." He returned to TED in 2010 to demo Bing’s augmented reality maps.

Fun fact: According to the author, Agüera y Arcas is the inspiration for the character Elgin in the 2012 best-selling novel Where'd You Go, Bernadette?
