Computer Vision News - August 2016

The trick of the month will show how advanced edge detection is made possible by the combination of three very useful techniques. The tool of the month is TensorFlow : you will learn why “it is more than a deep learning package, it’s an architecture”. In my usual section about project management , you will read about project time estimation , a very critical question when research tasks are involved. All the other sections deal with a very wide choice of subjects, from melanoma detection to computational forestry ; read in the Spotlight News how computer vision technologies allow us to travel in space and time , as well as improve our chances of winning a medal at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro !
