CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

2nd PLUS ADVANCED SCHOOL ON COMPUTER VISION, PATTERN RECOGNITION, AND
IMAGE PROCESSING

March 21-24, 2011 – IIT, 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 and categorization, and 
scene understanding.Lectures offer a general introduction to visual 
recognition’s main challenges and objectives as well as present 
state-of-the-art methodologies (such as bag-of-words and 2D part-based 
methods) for object and scene recognition, and also cover recent 
development on 3D spatial reasoning for joint object and scene 
understanding.

This school follows the series of intensive courses, aimed at 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) 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.
