Dr. LI Xi, a senior researcher from the University of Adelaide in Australia visited Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on February 19, 2013, and made a speech titled Non-sparse Linear Representations for Visual Tracking with Online Reservoir Metric Learning.

In his report, Dr. LI mainly introduced a novel non-sparse linear representation method as well as its application in object tracking. He discussed related issues on the topic with SIA researchers after the report.

Dr. LI Xi obtained his doctoral degree from the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, CAS in 2009. After that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at CNRS Telecom ParisTech, France. Currently, he is a senior researcher at the School of Computer Science, the University of Adelaide. His research directions include visual tracking, motion analysis, face recognition, data mining, image annotation and retrieval and video retrieval, etc. He has published over 30 papers on IEEE Transactions on PAMI, IJCV, ICCV, CVPR, ECCV and ICML, etc.
