ECCV 2020 Daily - Thursday

Xin Lu is a senior engineering manager and Scientist at Adobe. With a PhD in Imaging and Machine Learning Applications, Xin has been invited to attend the first international workshop on Bodily Expressed Emotional Understanding (BEEU), where she will be speaking about her own experiences and developments in the software industry. Xin, what are you doing at EECV? I participate in the Bodily Expressed Emotion Understanding workshop. I am a speaker there and participate in a panel discussion. Can you tell our readers about your work? Yes! For the past couple of years, I have been working on a mobile camera app that has just recently launched. Everybody can download it from the Apple store or Google Play store. It is called ‘Photoshop Camera’. I hope this does not count as an advertisement [ laughs ]. It includes a lot of my research and development work. It has a lot of interesting features. Basically, it is an AI-based camera app for pictures that everybody can use in their daily life. You can do as much advertising as you want: this magazine is made for advertising your work! [ both laugh ] How did a young scholar graduated from her studies, move onto a PhD, and then evolve into developing this app? Well that is a very fair and interesting question! After I graduated from Penn State, I joined Adobe. Soon after that, I realized there was an opportunity to work with a mobile application team 24 DAILY T h u r s d a y Women in Computer Vision
