Call for Participation

4th PAVIS School on Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Image 
Processing

September 18-20, 2013 – Sestri Levante (GE), Italy


LARGE SCALE VISUAL RECOGNITION OF OBJECT INSTANCES AND CATEGORIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Invited speakers

* Andrew Zisserman, University of Oxford, UK
* Andrea Vedaldi, University of Oxford, UK

--------------------------------------
REGISTRATION DEADLINE APPROACHING !!!
      >>>>> JULY 15, 2013 <<<<<
      (see instructions below)
--------------------------------------

The goal of this school is to introduce a number of state-of-the-art
fundamental techniques in image understanding as well as to demonstrate
the use of open source software to implement them in applications.
Theoretical aspects that will be covered include image representations
suitable for registration, object instance, and object category matching
(including regions of interest, local descriptors, descriptor metrics,
quantisation, indexing, and historamming) as well as machine learning
techniques to train models for given object types (linear and
non-linear large scale support vector machines and related kernel
representations and optimisation methods).
Alternating with the theoretical sessions, in a series of guided
experiments the students will explore how such ideas can be implemented
in software by using MATLAB and open source libraries such as VLFeat.

***********************************************************************
* REGISTRATION DEADLINE: July 15, 2013 *
* Interested applicants are invited to send an expression of interest
* at pavisschool2013 at iit.it asking for participation.
* For Ph.D. candidates please attach a Curriculum vitae and a letter
* from your supervisor in support to the request.
*
* Accepted candidates will receive an email containing the instructions 
* for the actual registration and payment.
***********************************************************************

Notice that, due to the limited number of places, applications are
subject to acceptance, and for this reason, early registrations or
expressions of interest are encouraged. The attendees are expected to
bring a laptop with a working version of MATLAB since practical
experiments will be performed during the school using open source
libraries such as VLFeat.


Registration Fees
- 150 euro for Ph.D. and undergraduate students.
- 250 euro for post docs, researchers, and other people working directly
in a university or a research institute.
- 300 euro for everybody else.


Director: Prof. Vittorio Murino
Local Organizers: Vittorio Murino, Matteo Bustreo, Carlos Beltran-
Gonzalez, Alessio Del Bue.


This school follows a series of intensive courses, targeting PhD
students and researchers in the areas of Computer Vision, Image
Processing, and Pattern Recognition. The course is residential,
spanning 3 days, so that attendees can install a more productive
interaction with the lecturers.

It is organized and sponsored by PAVIS (Pattern analysis and Computer
Vision) department of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genova
(Italy). The course will take place in the beautiful Baia del Silenzio
in Sestri Levante (http://g.co/maps/xqnyr), located between the city of
Genova and the border to Tuscany. The school is structured in a such
way that attendees can install a more productive interaction with the
lecturers.

The school is endorsed by GIRPR (Gruppo Italiano Ricercatori in
Pattern Recognition).
