Computer Vision News - May 2022

6 Grand Challenge Workshop at CVPR I’ve been in this space for a long time! ” The workshop will be taking place as part of CVPR 2022 next month, which this year is back with a physical presence in New Orleans after two years online. Does Danna have any advice for people attending their first in-person conference? “ These conferences are such an amazing and intense experience, where you can talk to people who generally you could never get to respond to an email! ” she laughs. “ I encourage people to spend as much time as possible visiting posters, going to talks, developing a network, and just recognizing there’s a community they can belong to. The most effective way to do that is in person. There’s no Theworkshopwill feature invited speakers and panelists from industry and computer vision research, as well as people who are blind. To succeed in submitting abstracts, Danna encourages people to think about how their work could be applied to a new population they might not have considered before. “ Just because someone’s not working on a dataset that’s specifically from people who are blind, it doesn’t mean it’s not relevant, ” she points out. “ I would encourage people to think about why their work might be valuable to this population. Then they can show up to the workshop, test their ideas, and learn from industry, academia, and blind people to improve their understanding of why this work matters . This event is a great place to hear different perspectives for anyone curious about what people do outside of the core computer vision community. I learn every year from this workshop, and What flavor this is? Do these clothes look dirty? What types of pills are these? Please describe what you can see.
