Therefore, such intelligent vision systems, which automatically process visual inputs such as raw still images, live video feeds, etc., must be both efficient and ethical. In this talk, developed solutions and algorithms based on explainable artificial intelligence and transparent computer vision approaches are presented. Presenter's bio: Joanna Isabelle Olszewska BSc(Hons) MSc(EPFL) PhD(UCL) CEng CSci FBCS FHEA is a British Computer Scientist. She is an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) with UWS, UK, and leads research in Algorithms and Softwares for Intelligent Vision Systems. She is a member of the IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems. She has been invited to be Panel Speaker at the University of Edinburgh Union Debate on 'The Future of AI'. She is ACM Distinguished Speaker and has given talks, e.g. at the University of Cambridge, at conferences such as ICRA, and at events such as EPSRC/BMVA Technical Days and DDD Scotland, as well as interviews, e.g. for the BBC ...

At present, WPT operating at a high frequency, such as 6.78 MHz, is widely regarded as a promising candidate technology for the mid-range transfer of a medium amount of power. Physically, a higher operating frequency improves the spatial freedom of power transfer and also makes it possible to develop a more compact and lighter WPT system. At the same time, due to the high-frequency operation, circuit-level complexity and multiple objectives in the actual MHz WPT systems, system-level analysis and design are particularly important for achieving high performance (e.g., high efficiency, low noise, and robustness) of a final system. In this webinar, the main power conversion topologies are first reviewed and compared; then, taking the Class E^2 topology as an example, a systematic methodology is explained to model and design a complete MHz WPT system; finally, the methodology is further extended to multiple-receiver MHz WPT systems, ...
