Computer Vision Systems

by Nate Bird | at MinneBar 11 | 9:00 – 9:50 in Challenge | View Schedule

This session is a discussion of computer vision systems--intelligent systems that use cameras and make decisions based on what they see. Let's talk about these great systems, how we use them to solve problems, their strengths, their limitations, recent developments, issues we've encountered in our work, and where the field might be going. This is intended to be a discussion session, not a presentation, so make sure to bring questions and specific topics you want to talk about! There is no particular level intended for this session, just interest in computer vision: come if you have never used a computer vision before, if you live and breath vision algorithms at work, or if you are anywhere in between.

Let's discuss!
