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

                     CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

          6th VIPS ADVANCED SCHOOL ON COMPUTER VISION,
            PATTERN RECOGNITION AND IMAGE PROCESSING

                       December 5-7, 2005
                         Verona, Italy

            The 6th Advanced School is supported by
  GIRPR, (Gruppo Italiano Ricercatori in Pattern Recognition)

This is the sixth course organized and sponsored by the Vision, Image
Processing and Sound (VIPS) Lab. of the Computer Science Dept.,
University of Verona. The course is residential and it spans a week, so
that people attending the course can install a more productive
interaction with the lecturers. More details will follow...

Course title:
     COMPUTER VISION TECNIQUES FOR PASSIVE 3D ACQUISITION

Lecturers:
     Prof. Luc VAN GOOL
        * Department of Information Technology and
          Electrical Engineering - ETH Zurich, Switzerland
     Ir. Maarten VERGAUWEN
        * Departement Elektrotechniek
          Katholieke Universiteit Leuven,
          Heverlee (Leuven), Belgium

Course program:
     * Introduction on 3D Techniques
     * Automatic Passive 3D Reconstruction
           o What is an image? How is it formed?
           o Camera models
           o Internal Calibration of cameras
           o External Calibration of cameras or "pose-estimation"
           o The projective world
           o Principle of passive 3D
     * Relating Images
           o Features extraction and matching
           o The Geometry of Two Images
     * Relating Multiple Views
           o Three views are related by means of a trifocal tensor
           o Projective reconstruction approach
     * Self Calibration
           o The projective ambiguity
           o Upgrading the result means constraints are needed
           o Constraints on the scene
           o Constraints on the camera's intrinsics
     * Bundle Adjustment
           o What is bundle adjustment?
           o Substitution to limit the size of the system
           o Usage of sparseness of the resulting matrix
     * Model Selection
           o Why does computing an F-matrix fail if
             the scene is dominantly planar?
           o What is an essential matrix?
           o How to compute an essential matrix
           o What is GRIC? Relation to Occam's Razor
           o Formula of GRIC. Explanation of the elements
           o F-GRIC, H-GRIC, PPP-GRIC, HH-GRICr
     * Dense Matching
           o Standard Stereo
           o Matching on the GPU
           o Linking multiple sequential stereo pairs
             into dense depth maps
           o Multi-View Stereo. A Bayesian approach deals
             better with occlusions
     * Combining all techniques
           o Explanation of the setup
           o Explanation of the server-side
           o Triplet matching and coupled self-calibration
           o Hierarchical method

Possible Extras

     * Long Video Sequences
           o Detection of Key-frames based on GRICs
           o Subsequences for efficient and more stable computation
           o Coupled self-calibration
           o Gluing of subsequences into one frame
           o Computation of intermediate frames if necessary (for 3D TV)
     * Using 3D Techniques in Planetary Exploration
           o Planetary Stereo-Head
           o Planetary Aerobots
     * Image-Based Rendering
           o What is IBR?
           o IBR from a set of uncalibrated images?
           o An IBR pipeline constructed for Cultural Heritage
