Computer Vision News - September 2016

Computer Vision News Event of the Month 37 the theory and practice in above areas. This also enables networking and collaboration among attendees working on various vision-related fields. Most of the above topics (quality, perception, processing, ...) are very important for computer vision. As with CVPR, there is a significant increase at IEEE ICIP in work related to machine learning based computer vision including deep learning based visual processing and analysis . CVN: What are the most captivating cross-disciplinary connections which computer vision people might expect to find at ICIP? Karam: Computer vision people would be able to interact and connect with people working on a variety of disciplines including perception and cognition, probability and statistics, signal processing, transforms, machine learning, visual quality, reconstruction, 3D, HDR, VR, embedded real-time processing, image/video processing, image/video analysis, image/video compression and transmission, to name a few. CVN: What kind of novelties can we expect to find at ICIP this year? Karam: Some novel initiatives include: Open Preview: ICIP 2016 papers are published on IEEE Xplore late August and available freely for download to everyone about a month before the conference (with the exception of a few papers that opted out of the Open Preview). Tutorials and Student Tutorials: IEEE ICIP 2016 is offering a Tutorial-Only registration for people wishing to attend a tutorial without attending the full conference. Students attending ICIP will also be eligible to receive one free tutorial as part of their registration (subject to space availability). Visual Innovation Award: The World's First Visual Innovation Award Finalists are now listed on the ICIP2016 website . Half day will be exclusively reserved to Panel Discussions on controversial topics including the following panels: 1. Compressive Sensing 10 Years Later: Has it Changed Image Acquisition and Processing? 2. Deep Learning : Is this the end or the beginning of Computer Vision? 3. Is Compression Dead, or Are We Wrong Again? 4. Quantity vs Quality in Publications : Should we be publishing less? Event Edward J.
