VIEW 2013 IEEE Vision Industry and Entrepreneur Workshop at CVPR
SC
Call For Participation: VIEW 2013 IEEE Vision Industry and Entrepreneur Workshop at CVPR
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.
Last year, we introduced the IEEE Vision Industry and Entrepreneur Workshop (VIEW) at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 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
This year, we plan to continue with the successful features from last year and enhance it with new features. We anticipate the program will include talks and panels featuring speakers from startups, major corporations, and the investment community. The program will also include a poster and demo session for startups, industry computer vision teams, and others to introduce themselves. Benefits of participating in VIEW 2013 include both learning and networking.
Call For Participation: Industry Session (Posters, Demos, and Recruiting)
Applications are solicited to present posters and/or demos at “VIEW 2013: Industry Session” from startups, industry teams, non-profits, venture capitalists, and other groups, who are actively working on or are supportive of computer vision technology and solutions. This session will be different from a typical CVPR workshop poster session: its principal aim is to enable organizations to present themselves for recruiting, networking, publicity, and feedback; and showcase their technology and solutions to a wide audience. Applicants are encouraged to include demos to showcase their solutions. No proceedings are planned.
This session will facilitate close interaction between the presenters and attendees. In this sense, the session will also serve as a recruiting event. The workshop attendees are encouraged to bring their resumes.
The submission should consist of a title, an abstract, and, a draft poster in PDF format. The applicants should indicate if the submission is a poster or a demo or both. 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.

For any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at view2013-IS at computervisioncentral.com.
