Pietro PALA

Biografia

Pietro Pala si è laureato con lode nel 1994 in Ingegneria Elettronica presso l’Università degli Studi di Firenze dove ha conseguito nel 1998 il Dottorato di Ricerca in Ingegneria Informatica e delle Telecomunicazioni. Nel 1999 ha vinto il concorso di ricercatore e preso servizio presso il Dipartimento Sistemi e Informatica dell’Università di Firenze. Conseguita l’idoneità a professore associato nel 2004 a seguito di concorso presso l’Università Milano Bicocca, è stato chiamato in tale ruolo dall’Università di Firenze nel 2005. Attualmente, è docente del corso di Analisi di Immagini e Video (per la Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Informatica) e docente del corso di Basi di Dati (per la laurea in Ingegneria Informatica). E’ stato docente per corsi di master universitario e dottorato, è membro del Collegio dei Docenti del Dottorato in Smart Computing (promosso congiuntamente dalle Università degli studi di Firenze, Pisa e Siena), ha partecipato a tesi di dottorato in co-tutela internazionale e svolto il ruolo di revisore per tesi di dottorato presso istituti stranieri. Ha svolto e svolge attività di coordinamento didattico universitario, prima come Presidente del Gruppo di Autovalutazione del CdL in Ingegneria Informatica e del Master universitario di primo livello in Multimedia Content Design (dal 2007 al 2014) e poi come Presidente del Consiglio di CdL unico in Ingegneria Informatica dal 2014 ad oggi.

La sua attività di ricerca si colloca nell’ambito della computer vision e pattern recognition, con specifico riferimento all’analisi ed elaborazione di immagini e modelli tridimensionali come documentato dalle numerose pubblicazioni effettuate su libri, riviste ed atti di convegni di prestigio internazionale. Ha svolto studi pionieristici nella ricerca ed indicizzazione di immagini per contenuto di forma, colore e tessitura e successivamente nell’analisi di modelli tridimensionali per il riconoscimento biometrico ed il riconoscimento di azioni. La visibilità dell’attività di ricerca svolta è confermata da un HIndex pari a 24 e più di 2300 citazioni (Scopus) relative a più di 120 pubblicazioni prevalentemente su riviste ed atti di convegni IEEE ed ACM.

Pietro Pala è Senior Member della IEEE e svolge attività di servizio scientifico come Associate Editor per riviste internazionali (ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications; Springer Multimedia Systems), guest editor di uno special issue sulla rivista “ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications”, program co-chair di workshop internazionali, area chair di conferenze internazionali oltre che membro del program committee di numerose conferenze. Svolge il ruolo di revisore di progetto per enti internazionali di ricerca quali French National Research Agency (ANR), European Research Council (ERC), Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). E’ stato responsabile di unità in 6 progetti di scala regionale e un progetto internazionale cofinanziato da Regione Toscana e dai governi turco e rumeno nell’ambito del settimo programma quadro dell’Unione Europea.

Pietro PALA

Biography

Pietro Pala received the Laurea degree “cum laude” in Electronic Engineering 1994 from the University of Firenze. From the same University, he received the Ph.D. in Information and Telecommunications Engineering in 1997. Presently, he is Full Professor at the University of Firenze where he teaches Image and Video Analysis and Database Management Systems for the school of Information Engineering. Pietro Pala is President of the Master and Bachelor degrees in Informatics Engineering at the University of Firenze, is Member of the Scientific Committee of the Media Integration and Communication Center, MICC (Center of excellence of the Italian Ministery of Education, University and Research) and Member of the Board Committee for the PhD course on Smart Computing (jointly promoted by the Universities of Firenze, Pisa and Siena).

The research activities of Pietro Pala have targeted several topics in the computer vision and pattern recognition area, spanning from multimedia retrieval by content to biometrics. The first research activities investigated the use of elastic models for measuring shape similarity and support retrieval of images based on shape. Starting from these studies a number of different yet affine research topics have been addressed, including the multiresolution segmentation of color images, the description and retrieval by color content from image archives, the indexing of descriptors of region shape and color, the description of the semantic content of visual data in the arts and commercials, the description and retrieval by shape of 3D models, the segmentation of 3D models. More recently, Pietro Pala's research activities have focused on the analysis of 3D data for biometric and action/behaviour recognition. In particular, local shape description of 3D meshes, expression invariant descriptors for 3D face models, landmark detection of 3D face models, feature selection for description of salient features of 3D face models, local 3D descriptors for robust 3D face recognition in presence of occlusions and missing parts, super-resolution models for 3D data, analysis of 3D body dynamics for action recognition.

Curriculum

Pietro Pala graduated in Electronic Engineering at the University of Florence in 1994 and obtained the PhD in Computer and Telecommunications Engineering in 1997 from the same university. Since 2018 he has been full professor at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Florence.

He carries out teaching activities at the University of Florence where he is currently a teacher of Databases for the degree course in Computer Engineering, a teacher of Image and Video Analysis for the Master's degree course in Informatics Engineering and co-teacher (with Prof. Stefano Berretti) of Geometric Learning for the master's degree course in Artificial Intelligence. From 2014 to 2022 he was president of the Degree Courses in Informatics Engineering and Artificial Intelligence.

Pietro Pala is a member of the scientific committee of the Center for Communication and Media Integration, MICC (center of excellence of the Ministry of Education, University and Research) and member of the Scientific Committee of the doctoral program in Smart Computing promoted jointly by the Universities of Florence , Pisa and Siena. He is the national coordinator Principal Investigator of the PRIN 2017 I-MALL project - improving the customer experience in stores by intelligent computer vision” (20172BH297), a Project of Significant National Interest.

Pietro Pala's research activity focuses on issues of pattern recognition and machine learning for the content analysis of images, videos, 3D objects, with particular attention to three-dimensional models of the face for biometric and emotion recognition and to models based on deep neural networks for autonomous driving. These research activities are documented by more than 140 publications in the most relevant international journals and conferences in the sector. Pietro Pala is Associate Editor for Springer's Multimedia Systems journal and for ACM's Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications.
