Dear Colleague,
please distribute this to your PhD students/researchers/colleagues who
might be interested.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

            5th VIPS ADVANCED SCHOOL ON COMPUTER VISION,
            PATTERN RECOGNITION AND IMAGE PROCESSING

            September 26-29, 2005, Verona, Italy

This school is the fifth of a series of intensive courses,
aimed at PhD students and researchers in the areas of Computer Vision,
Image Processing and Pattern Recognition. It is organized and
sponsored by the Vision, Image Processing and Sound (VIPS) Laboratory
of the Department of Computer Science, University of Verona. The
course is residential, spanning a week, so that attendees can install
a more productive interaction with the lecturer.

Invited speakers
===============
Prof. Horst Bischof

  *Institut for Computer Graphics and Vision
   Technical University, Graz, Austria

Prof. Ales Leonardis

  *Faculty of Computer and Information Science
   University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

Course Title
============
VISUAL LEARNING AND RECOGNITION

Course program
==============
Generic Issues:
  *Cognitive visual systems
  *Complexity of visual recognition
  *Generative vs. discriminative methods

Visual Representations:
  *Evolution of object models (recognition methods)
  *Generic (category-based) versus exemplar-based (geons, SQ, generalized
cylinders)
  *Object-centered versus viewer-centered (perceptual grouping, features
-ease of indexing)
  *Shape-based, appearance-based

Global Representations:
  *Subspace Methods
  *PCA, LDA, ICA, CCA, NMF, SVM, Kernel Methods
  *Robust Recognition (occlusions, varying illumination, scale, cluttered
background, etc.)
  *Mixture Representations (Multiple Eigenspaces, Split ASM)

Local Representations:
  *Distinctive Regions (Harris, Hessian, Harris Affine, MSER, DOG,IBR,Kadir
& Brady)
  *Local Feature (SIFT, Shape Context, Steerable Filters, Diff. Invariants)
  *Performance Evaluation
  *Extensions (Tracking, Constellations)

Issues in Visual Learning:
  *Robust Learning
  *Incremental Learning
  *Learning with Minimal (No) Supervision --> Conservative Learning

Specific Approaches/Applications with possible exercises:
  *Subspace Methods & Mobile Robotica
  *Trainable models for object class detection
  *Distinctive image features from scale-invariant keypoints (SIFT, Lowe)
  *Recognition Demos
