About Laurent Itti

  • Laurent Itti (born December 12, 1970 in Tours, France) is a computational neuroscientist.
  • He received his MS in "Image Processing" from the École Nationale SupĂ©rieure des TĂ©lĂ©communications de Paris in 1994, and a PhD in Computation and Neural Systems from Caltech in 2000.
  • He is currently an Associate Professor of Computer Science, Psychology, and Neuroscience at the University of Southern California, where he has been since 2000.
  • As a PhD student under the tutelage of Christof Koch, Itti developed a computer model that simulates brain mechanisms involved in the deployment of visual attention [1], [2].
  • This so-called saliency model has been cited by hundreds of peer-reviewed publications.
  • The software implementation of this model is part of the iLab Neuromorphic Vision Toolkit, which is freely distributed under the GNU general public license.
  • Itti has also been very active in developing computer vision applications, particularly in the context of autonomous vehicles (both terrestrial [3][4] and underwater [5]), as well as in comparing model simulations to empirical measurements based on a wide spectrum of techniques, including eye tracking, psychophysics, neuroimaging, and electrophysiology [6].
  • Itti is credited with authoring several dozens of peer-reviewed publications [7], and 3 image processing patents [8].
  • He also co-developed the Coregistration for Neuroimaging Systems software package, a suite of image processing tools for analyzing neuroimaging data, which is routinely used by several hospitals and research labs in the U.S.
  • and Europe.
