Computer Vision [CV]

The main theme for the Computer Vision Colloquium during the Winter Semester 2008-2009 will be Sensor Fusion. It is a continuation of the Summer Semester 2008 Colloquium. We will be discussing well-known methodologies for sensor fusion including: classifier ensembles, boosting, fuzzy techniques for combining classifiers, the Dempster-Shafer method, Belief propagation, neural networks etc.

 

 Meeting Time and Place: Unless otherwise specified, the colloquium meets every Wednesday 14:00 - 15:30 at  the LME Seminar room 09.150.
