ECCV 2016 Daily - Friday

We have visited the booth of Bosch and they told us that even though people normally associate Bosch with washing machines or power tools, it is actually one of the largest car suppliers in the world. Bosch attended ECCV to show what other exciting computer solutions they work on, while also getting to know the community better, and allowing the community to know them better as well. As the biggest car supplier, Bosch builds cameras and topic sensors for the automotive industry, Even though they have not publicize a lot about it, they are one of the leading companies in that area. The Bosch research team uses deep learning techniques combined with classical methods. After attending the event, they realized that many people didn’t realize that Bosch does so much work with computer vision. The feedback helped the company understand how to better promote their computer vision work in the future. In response, attendees of the event are excited about Bosch’s many projects, such as automated driving and its other computer vision applications. The people from Bosch were excited to see so many bright, young scientists together with senior experts presenting their innovative ideas on new topics. The conference gives them a great opportunity to meet researchers in the field, both young and senior, and help offer them exciting, new projects for the future. They also hope to recruit new experts to the company. ECCV featured many great discussions, especially with young researchers. The Bosch team here at ECCV 2016 were impressed by the kind of impact that deep learning has had these days and with the number of papers showing stunning results from deep learning. 20 ECCV Daily : Fr iday Bosch
