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 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.

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.

****** EXTENDED registration deadline is March 18, 2011 *****
