MOTIVATION AND DESCRIPTION
The ninth edition of the International Computer Vision Summer School
aims to provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth
analysis of the state-of-the-art research in Computer Vision and
Machine Learning.

The courses will be delivered by world renowned experts in the field,
from both academia and industry, and will cover both theoretical and
practical aspects of real Computer Vision problems as well as examples
of their successful commercialisation.

The school aims to provide a stimulating opportunity for young
researchers and Ph.D. students. The participants will benefit from
direct interaction and discussions with world leaders in Computer
Vision. Participants will also have the possibility to present the
results of their research, and to interact with their scientific
peers, in a friendly and constructive environment.
