Topic: Recent research in Visual Computing

Content

In this seminar we discuss current research results in computer vision, visual computing and image/video processing. The task of the participants is to understand and explain a certain research topic to the other participants. In a block seminar in the middle of the semester the background knowledge required for the final talks will be presented in oral presentations and at the end of the semester, the respective research topic is presented in an oral presentation. This must also be rehearsed beforehand in front of another student and his/her suggestions for improvement must be integrated.

Registration takes place centrally via StudIP. The number of participants is initially limited to 8 students, but can be extended in the kickoff if necessary.
