Semantic Robot Vision Challenge
 
     
  The 2009 competition will be held as a special track of the 5th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC) to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The dates of the conference are November 30 -- December 2, 2009.  
     
 

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.
