7th UK Computer Vision Student Workshop Call for Papers
7th UK Computer Vision Student Workshop
10 September 2015 (13:30-17:30), Swansea, UK
http://bmvc2015.swan.ac.uk/?p=2227
(CALL FOR PAPERS)
The British Machine Vision Student Workshop (BMVW) will take place in
the afternoon of the 10th September 2015. The workshop has become a
regular feature of British Machine Vision Conference. It provides an
excellent opportunity for postgraduate students in computer vision to
present their on-going research, to network and to start
collaborations with other students. Furthermore, students have the
opportunity to attend keynote sessions about hot topics in the field
presented by experienced researcher. The workshop will be single track
containing oral presentations.
PhD and research Master students are invited to submit high-quality
papers (a minimum of 4 pages and maximum of 9 pages (excluding
references)) of which the main author is a student. All papers will be
reviewed and selected for either oral or poster presentation. All
accepted papers for the workshop will be digitally published on-line
at the BMVA website.
Topics
As with the main BMVC conference topics include, but are not limited to:
Statistics and machine learning for vision
Stereo, calibration, geometric modelling and processing
Face and gesture recognition
Early and biologically inspired vision
Motion, flow and tracking
Segmentation and grouping
Model-based vision
Image processing techniques and methods
Texture, shape and colour
Video analysis
Document processing and recognition
Vision for quality assurance, medical diagnosis, etc.
Vision for visualization, interaction, and graphics
Object detection and recognition
Shape-from-X
Video analysis and event recognition
Illumination and reflectance
The materials in a student workshop paper can be reused later by the
original authors for a more extensive publication (e.g., a full paper)
with more detailed content and mature results. This should not be
considered as self-plagiarism. However, as student workshop papers are
citable, researchers are encouraged to acknowledge novel ideas and
results.
Traditionally, BMVW workshop only accepted student submissions from
British institutions. This year we also encourage students submissions
from institutions outside UK. Priority is given to student
participants from UK institutions, however.
Keynote Speaker
Prof. Mark Nixon
University of Southampton
Mark Nixon is Professor in Computer Vision at the School of
Electronics and Computer Science. His research interests are in image
processing and computer vision including static and moving shape
extraction (both parametric and non-parametric) which have found
application in automatic face and automatic gait recognition and in
medical image analysis. Amongst previous research contracts, he was
Principal Investigator with John Carter on the DARPA supported project
Automatic Gait Recognition for Human ID at a Distance, on the General
Dynamics Defence Technology Centre’s program on data fusion
(biometrics, naturally), on the MoD/ARL (US) IBM-led Information
Technology Alliance and they're currently working on the EU funded
Tabula Rasa programme which is the first co-ordinated study of
spoofing biometrics.
He was chaired of the 9th British Machine Vision Conference BMVC'98
held at Southampton in September ’98 (an issue of Image and Vision
Computing containing some of the most highly rated conference papers
was published as Volume 18 Number 9). The BMVC’98 Electronic
Conference Proceedings remain online via the British Machine Vision
Association. Apart from being a programme member/ reviewer for other
conferences, Josef Kittler and he chaired IAPR International
Conference Audio Visual Biometric Person Authentication (AVBPA 2003)
and was Publications Chair for the International Conference on Pattern
Recognition (ICPR 2004) at Cambridge UK with Josef Kittler, he
co-chaired the IEEE 7th International Conference on Face and Gesture
Recognition FG2006 held at Southampton, UK in 2006.
