IPCV'96

Intensive Programme on Computer Vision

The Research Group on Digital Image Analysis and iTs Applications of the University of Granada, Espana, the Image Recognition Lab of the University of Koblenz, Germany, and the Laboratory of Information Processing of the Lappeenranta University of Technology , Finland, organise an Intensive Programme on Computer Vision (IPCV'96), in Koblenz, Germany, from July 21st to 27th 1996.

IPCV'96 provides intensive courses and training on selected topics in computer vision (CV) for graduate students and young scientists with a background in CV. The topics are chosen from spectral image analysis, color image analysis, digital image classification, and practical image processing. The training includes exercises in small groups of 2 - 4 students. Participation is limited to approximately 30 students from EU countries. A few scholarships are available.
