  Call for Participation - LAST ANNOUNCEMENT !!!

  5th PAVIS School on Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, and Image
  Processing

  September 29 - October 1, 2014
  Sestri Levante (GE), Italy

  -------------------------------------------------------------------
      SCENE UNDERSTANDING AND OBJECT RECOGNITION IN CONTEXT
  -------------------------------------------------------------------

  Invited speakers

  * Antonio TORRALBA, MIT (USA)
  * Agata LAPEDRIZA, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Spain) & MIT (USA)

  --------------------------------------
  REGISTRATION DEADLINE
        JULY 1, 2014 <<<<<
        (see below)
  --------------------------------------

The goal of this school will be to introduce recent advances in scene 
recognition, multiclass object detection and object recognition in 
context. The class will cover global features for scene recognition 
(gist, deep features, etc), databases for scene understanding (e.g., 
crowdsourcing, image annotation), methods for multiclass object 
detection (short summary of object detectionapproaches with emphasis
on multiclass techniques) and current approaches for object recognition 
in context and scene understanding. The theoretical sessions will be 
complemented with guided experiments in MATLAB.

The PROGRAM of the school will be published soon on the school website.

  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
    in a university or a research institute.
