================

Important dates:

  *   Early bird registration until: 31st May 2026

  *   Summer school: 13th – 17th July 2026

The British Machine Vision Association (BMVA) runs an annual Computer
Vision Summer School aimed primarily at PhD students (especially in
their first and second year), while also benefiting other early-career
researchers and professionals in industry. Attendees from both UK and
non-UK institutions are welcome. Places are limited to support strong
interaction, particularly in lab classes.

CVSS 2026 will take place at Durham University between 13th and 17th
July 2026, and will consist of an intensive week of lectures and lab
sessions spanning key topics across modern computer vision, together
with networking opportunities to connect with peers and leading
researchers.

Themes (CVSS 2026 educational material)

  1.  Image and Video Synthesis

     * Computer vision theory; deep learning architectures;
     representation learning; optimisation methods; explainable
     computer vision; transparency, fairness, accountability, privacy
     and ethics in vision; generative modelling

  2.  3D, Geometry, and Physical Understanding

     * 3D from multi-view and sensors; 3D from single images;
     low-level vision; segmentation; scene analysis and understanding;
     geometry/scene-grounded image and video synthesis

  3.  Vision for X

     * Vision for robotics; embodied vision (active agents,
     simulation); autonomous driving; video (low-level analysis,
     motion, tracking); humans (face, body, pose, gesture, movement);
     recognition (categorisation, detection, retrieval)

  4.  Multimodal Learning, Vision, Language, and Reasoning

     * Transfer/low-shot/continual/long-tail learning; self-, semi-,
     meta- and unsupervised learning; multimodal learning


Speakers will be confirmed soon (programme schedule updates will be
posted on the website: https://cvss.bmva.org/)
