Vision Industry & Entrepreneur Workshop (VIEW 2012) at CVPR (deadline extended)

[SC]

Call For Participation

VIEW 2012: IEEE Vision Industry & Entrepreneur Workshop

Once largely an academic discipline, computer vision today is also a
commercial force. Startups and global corporations are building
businesses based on computer vision technology. These businesses
provide computer vision based solutions for the needs of consumers,
enterprises in many commercial sectors, non-profits, and governments.
The demand for computer vision based solutions is also driving
commercial and open-source development in associated areas, including
hardware and software platforms for embedded and cloud deployments,
new camera designs, new sensing technologies, and compelling
applications.

We are introducing the IEEE Vision Industry and Entrepreneur Workshop
(VIEW) at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern
Recognition (CVPR) this year to bridge the academic and commercial
worlds of computer vision. The goals of VIEW are:

- to educate computer vision researchers on startups and
commercialization
- to provide a meeting place for researchers, technologists,
businesses, investors, and users.

The program will include talks and panels featuring speakers from
startups, major corporations, and the investment community. The
program will also include a poster session for startups, industry
computer vision teams, and others to introduce themselves. Benefits of
participating in VIEW 2012 include both learning and networking.

Call for Posters

Applications to present a poster at VIEW 2012 are solicited from
startups, industry teams, non-profits, venture capitalists, and other
groups whose activity is based on computer vision technology or is
supportive of computer vision technology. The poster session will be
different from a typical CVPR workshop poster session: its principal
aim is to enable organizations to present themselves for networking,
recruiting, publicity, and feedback. Poster presenters will also have
an opportunity to participate in an oral poster spotlight session. No
proceedings are planned.

Application submissions should consist of a draft poster in PDF
format. Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee for
relevance, interest, quality, and balance. Presentation of technology,
value proposition, team, and competitive landscape are encouraged, but
only non-confidential material may be submitted.
