CFP: HiPot: Workshop on Higher-Order Models and Global Constraints in Computer Vision and TPAMI Special Issue

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

HiPot: Workshop on Higher-Order Models and Global Constraints in Computer Vision
ECCV 2012, Firenze, Italy
October 13, 2012
http://ttic.edu/eccv-2012-workshop-hipot/

A number of problems in computer vision can be modelled as discrete labelling problems. One of the popular ways to formulate a labelling problem has been in terms of an energy function comprising of unary and pairwise clique potentials. More recently, a second wave of success can be attributed to the incorporation of higher-order terms that have the ability to encode significantly more sophisticated priors and structural dependencies between variables.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on different aspects (modelling, learning, inference) of higher-order models and global constraints for vision problems.

The workshop will include keynote talks from:
Endre Boros, Rutgers University
Fredrik Kahl, Lund University
Nikos Komodakis, Ecole des Ponts-ParisTech
Yann LeCun, New York University
René Vidal, Johns Hopkins University.
