  • Conference: International Conference on Vision Systems - SCOPE By vision systems we refer to fully integrated (and operational) systems. There has been a lot of research on component technologies as described in standard vision conferences like ICCV, ECCV, and CVPR. It is, however, characteristic that very little has been reported on fully INTEGRATED systems. Integration of component technologies requires not only vision techniques, but also understanding of fundamental concepts from basic computer science (like scheduling and planning), methods for handling of uncertainty, control theory (for interactive systems), etc. This conference focuses on methods and concepts for construction of fully integrated systems. TOPICS The conference solicits papers on the following topics - System architectures - Methods for system synthesis and verification - Active Vision systems - Control of perception and attention - Knowledge/system representation - Multi-Agent systems and coordination - Context modeling - Cue integration - Prototype systems - Performance characterization & benchmarking
  • Group: - vision for autonomous robots
  • Group: - Computer vision and Medical Imaging research

  • Conference: Workshop on European Scientific and Industrial Collaboration on promoting Advanced Technologies in Manufacturing - The aim of the First WESIC is to provide a forum where companies, universities, institutes, and research centres may interchange experiences in meeting the needs of advanced technology in manufacturing systems. The workshop will be of particular interest to those companies and institutions that are interested in collaborating in scientific projects in their sector. The intention is to identify common points of interest in order to participate in collaborative actions such as: research agreements, integration of PhD students in european companies, transfer of technology, thematic networks, European Community research projects, etc.
