Call for Participation

2nd PLUS Advanced School on Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and 
Image Processing

March 21-24, 2011 – Genova, Italy

2D AND 3D VISUAL RECOGNITION: APPROACHES AND METHODS
----------------------------------------------------

Invited speakers

     * Fei-Fei Li, Stanford University, USA
     * Silvio Savarese, University of Michigan, USA

This school covers a number of critical topics in computer vision and 
visual recognition including object recognition, categorization, and 
scene understanding.  Lectures offer a general introduction to visual 
recognition’s main challenges and objectives as well as state-of-the-art 
methodologies (such as bag-of-words and 2D part-based methods) for 
object and scene recognition.

Lectures also cover recent development on 3D spatial reasoning for joint 
object and scene understanding. The school includes laboratory sessions 
with open ended coding projects in Matlab.

This school follows a series of intensive courses, targeting PhD 
students and researchers in the areas of Computer Vision, Image 
Processing, and Pattern Recognition. It is organized and sponsored by 
the PLUS (Pattern analysis, Learning, and image Understanding Systems) 
laboratory of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genova (Italy).
The course is typically residential, spanning 4-5 days, so that 
attendees can install a more productive interaction with the lecturers.
