Cognitive Computing of Visual and Auditory Information

This book discusses fruitful achievements in basic cognitive theories, processing technologies of visual and auditory information and research platforms. This book also can provide strong support for the research and development of artificial intelligence of major national projects, playing important roles in national application systems such as unmanned systems and smart cities. In addition, it has laid a solid foundation for the development of artificial intelligence in China. Intended for researchers who have been following the evolution of and trends in the artificial intelligence, the book is also a valuable reference resource for practitioners and scholars at various levels and in various fields.

本書討論了基本認知理論、視覺和聽覺信息處理技術以及研究平台方面的有益成果。本書還可以為國家重大項目的人工智能研究和開發提供有力支持，在無人系統和智慧城市等國家應用系統中發揮重要作用。此外，它為中國人工智能的發展奠定了堅實基礎。本書旨在為一直關注人工智能演進和趨勢的研究人員提供參考，同時也是各級各領域從業人員和學者的寶貴參考資源。

Dr.Nanning Zheng was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999. He has been engaged in the research on the application basic theory and engineering technology of artificial intelligence and pattern recognition, computer vision and its advanced computing architecture for a long time. The established stereo correspondence calculation model of visual scene understanding and visual attention statistical learning method have become representative work in this field, providing theoretical guidance and key technologies for the construction of computer vision systems and intelligent control systems based on image information. He has won the second prize of the national science and Technology Progress Award (1991, 1996), the second prize of the National Technological Invention Award (2007), and the second prize of the National Natural Science Award (2016). He has won honorary titles such as "returned students who have made outstanding contributions" (1991), "national young and middle-aged expert without standing contributions" (1992), "national excellent teacher"(1993), "Chinese Young Scientist Award" (1996). The first batch was selected into the national "hundred and ten thousand talents project" (1995), won the National Outstanding Youth Fund in 1995, and won the Heliang Heli science and Technology Award in 2001.

1999年，鄭南寧博士當選中國科學院院士。他長期從事人工智能和模式識別的應用基礎理論和工程技術、計算機視覺及其先進計算架構的研究。他建立的視覺場景理解的立體對應計算模型和視覺注意統計學習方法已成為該領域的代表作品，為基於圖像信息的計算機視覺系統和智能控制系統的構建提供了理論指導和關鍵技術。他曾獲得國家科技進步獎二等獎（1991年、1996年）、國家技術發明獎二等獎（2007年）和國家自然科學獎二等獎（2016年）。他還獲得了“有突出貢獻的歸國留學人員”（1991年）、“國家中青年專家無突出貢獻”（1992年）、“國家優秀教師”（1993年）、“中國青年科學家獎”（1996年）等榮譽稱號。他於1995年入選國家“十萬人才計劃”，並於1995年獲得國家優秀青年基金，2001年獲得何梁何利科學與技術獎。
