[visionlist] EADS Human Re-Identification Contest deadline extension

[Denis Marraud]

The deadline for Phase 1 of EADS "Find Me if you Can" Contest has been
postponed to 12th of May to encourage new teams to participate.

EADS Innovation Works launched a contest called Join The Spirit 2013 -
"Find Me if You Can".

This contest focuses *on human re identification in images*. Its main goal
is to seek for innovative and efficient algorithmic approaches solving the
following problem: “Given two pictures each showing a person, can you tell
me whether it is the same person or not?”

The contest consists of *two distinct phases* enabling to reach this
objective and to propose a consistent solution from end to end.

The 20 top-ranked teams will be approved for the contest’s Phase 2 and *awarded
from our sponsor Parrot <http://www.parrot.com/fr> by the Parrot AR.Drone
2.0 remote-control quadrocopter.

*At end of Phase 2, the team ranked no. 1 on the leaderboard will be
declared the winner, earning a *VIP-invitation to Astrium space facilities
in French Guiana at the occasion of an Ariane 5 launch**!

**Important dates:*

The contest opens March 1, 2013 and finishes September 30, 2013 at midnight
(GMT).  The mid-course decision is to occur on May 12, 2013. The list of
finalists from the first phase will be published on the “Join the Spirit”
website.
*Who can take part?*

 Every graduate or PhD engineering student enrolled in a university, with
no limitation of age or countries.
