Computer Vision News - June 2016

The June issue of our magazine has many innovations in store. We have further improved its design so that you will certainly find it easier to read and nicer to see. We also want to give you access to all kinds of projects and ideas, even those that are rarely reported in mainstream publications. In this issue, you will read an exclusive interview with Adam Harvey discussing his computer vision projects in favor of privacy and self-protection. Our readers’ opinions about Harvey’s views are most likely very diverse, and we believe that everyone will find the interview very interesting. We have expanded our Computer Vision Events section to include an Event of the Month , which we will try to portray under a different, original angle. In this issue, RE•WORK’s Sophie Curtis tells us all about the Machine Intelligence Summit in Berlin and how their numerous technology events contribute to re-work the future. As usual, we would be delighted if you kept sharing the magazine with your colleagues, students and friends. Everyone can subscribe for free and also answer a 2-minutes survey which will help us know our readers’ preferences and suggestions. Enjoy the reading!
