STRUCTURED MODELS IN COMPUTER VISION

Workshop at CVPR 2010, June 14th, San Francisco, USA

Zurich, 16-20 August 2010

http://SMiCV2010.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/

email: smicv2010(at)tuebingen.mpg.de

submission deadline: 27 March 2010

OVERVIEW

A central question in Computer Vision is how human prior knowledge can
be integrated in order to build efficient and accurate learning
systems. Computer Vision and Machine Learning Researchers have come up
with many different models to incorporate their prior knowledge about
the domain structure – such as probabilistic graphical models,
conditional random fields, or structured support vector machines –
which have been applied successfully to many different areas of
application. The goal of this workshop is to bring together
researchers from different directions of Computer Vision and Machine
Learning, and to stimulate the discussion about the shared concepts,
the recent progress and the remaining problems of learning and
inference algorithms for structured representations in Computer
Vision.

FORMAT

The workshop will be a one-day event with one morning and two
afternoon sessions.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

We invite high quality, original submissions for presentation during
the workshop. Contributions from the following areas are especially
welcome:
* object recognition and localization
* image scene analysis
* human pose estimation
* image and video segmentation
* video analysis/surveillance
* shape analysis
* medical image analysis
We also invite submissions from related domains including theoretic
results relevant to the workshop’s topic.

Emphasis of the submissions should lie on aspects relevant to the
workshop topic, e.g. new learning methods for structured models,
modeling of new problems with prior knowledge of domain structure, or
efficient algorithms for inference in structured models. Papers must
be in PDF format and should not exceed 8 pages (CVPR format). All
submissions are subject to a double-blind review process by the
program committee. Further details about the submission process can be
found on the workshop homepage.

BEST PAPER PRIZE

The best paper will be awarded a google sponsored cash prize of 500US$.
