Semantic Robot Vision Challenge
 
     
  The 2008 event is done. Congratulations to the winning teams!!! Please see the Teams link above for the rankings as well as more information about the event.  
     
 

The Semantic Robot Vision Challenge (abbreviated SRVC) is a research competition that is designed to push the state of the art in image understanding and automatic acquisition of knowledge from large unstructured databases of images (such as those generally found on the web).

In this competition, fully autonomous robots receive a text list of objects that they are to find. They use the web to automatically find image examples of those objects in order to learn visual models. These visual models are then used to identify the objects in the robot's cameras.

 
     
  We encourage anyone in these research fields to participate and help us to advance the state of the art in image understanding research. At the end of the competition, we will hold a workshop so that the specific technical aspects of each entry can be presented and discussed.
