Workshop

From Computational Cognitive Neuroscience

to Computer Vision

 

 

at the 5th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS2007) 21st-24th March 2007, Bielefeld, Germany (http://www.icvs2007.org)

 

This workshop aims to foster the transfer of knowledge from the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience to Computer Vision. The seemingly simplicity of visual perception has periodically attracted machine vision scientists to build biologically inspired algorithms. Although such biologically motivated algorithms have not revolutionized Computer Vision, we believe that several reasons exist that motivate an ongoing exchange.

In the recent years there has been much progress in the understanding of brain processes such as visual attention, object recognition, learning of complex feature detectors, decision making and high level cognitive control, to name a few. This work is yet often not suitable for real world applications, but it might lead to new developments, and in the long run, to better algorithms in machine vision.

 

Topics of interest:

We invite contributions from the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience that relate to Computer Vision. The contribution should emphasize those properties of models that potentially lead to applications in Computer Vision. We do not expect that these applications already exist.

 

Submission process:

Abstracts of max 1 page should be submitted to fhamker@uni-muenster.de. The work should be novel but it can be already published. The primary criterion of acceptance is the relevance for the workshop. The deadline is January, 15th.
