OVERVIEW

Vision and Sports is a special special kind of summer school. In

Vision techniques, it offers exciting sport activities, such as
Ultimate Frisbee, Volleyball, and Table Tennis. Sports are organized
by the same internationally renowned experts who deliver the lectures.
The school offers the best of both worlds to participants:
high-quality teaching on Computer Vision, and lots of fun with a
variety of attractive sports. This offers plenty of opportunity for
personal contact between students and teachers.

The Vision and Sports Summer School covers a broad range of subjects,
reflecting the diversity of Computer Vision. Each lecture will cover
both basic aspects and state-of-the-art research. Every day there are
two Computer Vision classes and one sports session. The classes
include both lectures and practical exercises.

The school is open to about 50 participants, and is targeted mainly to
young researchers (Master students and PhD students in particular).
