Scope

Some of the notable recent successes in automated visual recognition are results of combining advanced visual representations together with powerful machine learning techniques. The objective of this summer school is to provide an overview of some of the latest advances in visual recognition together with the related machine learning algorithms. A particular emphasis will be given on topics related to recognition of humans, objects, actions and dynamic scene understanding in video. 


Program

The final program is available here.


Materials (Updated 26-07-2010)

On-line materials including data, instructions and code for practical sessions are available here. We encourage participants to download materials before the start of practical sessions.

There will be a poster session, where participants are encouraged to bring and present their recent work. Participants will get feedback on their posters and the possibility to discuss their work with their peers. The best poster will be awarded a prize. Given the time and space constraints, the number of posters will be limited. If you wish to bring a poster, please send an e-mail to cvml2010@gmail.com no later than June 15 indicating (a) the title of your work (b) a reference to a corresponding publication and (c) a link to the corresponding paper.
