Seminar on Current Works in Computer Vision

Prof. Thomas Brox

Computer Vision is a very active research field with many practical applications, for instance in quality control, robotics, or driving assistance systems. The ultimate goal of Computer Vision is to imitate the great capabilies of the human visual system, allowing the computer not only to record images but also to interpret them. Research is still far from this goal, but significant progress has been made in recent years.
In this seminar we will take a detailed look at the most interesting recent works that have been published at the latest Computer Vision conference (ECCV 2010). You will read a number of research papers published at this conference. For each paper there will be one person, who performs a more detailed investigation of the research work and its background and gives a presentation. The presentation is followed by a discussion with all participants about the merits and limitations of the respective paper. You will learn to read and understand contemporary research papers, to give a good oral presentation, to ask questions, and to openly discuss a research problem.
