Prof. Tamás Szirányi, a Corresponding Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, is the Head of the Machine Perception Research Laboratory at the HUN-REN Institute for Computer Science and Control (HUN-REN SZTAKI) and a Professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). The core concept of his team's research is Artificial Space Intelligence, which focuses on interpreting and organising information from distributed multimodal sensors. These sensors include dynamic and static imaging devices as well as other multimedia sources. Through spatio-temporal analysis, they recognise and classify events such as unusual motion patterns, behavioural changes in time series, and voice patterns.
Their research places special emphasis on machine learning, data mining, human perception, multiple-view geometry, multimodal sensor fusion, optimisation methods, and variational analysis. These approaches are applied in image and video processing, remote sensing, biometric identification, 3D geometrical optics, localisation and mapping, sensor networks, geographical information systems, and computer graphics.
His research laboratory has participated in several prestigious international (ESA, EDA, FP6, FP7, OTKA) projects. He has authored more than 300 publications, including 60 papers in major scientific journals, and holds several international patents.
