BMVA/EPSRC Summer School in Computer Vision and Digital Image Computing 2010

该提案涉及为计算机视觉和数字图像计算培训暑期学校提供资金。EPSRC以前曾在这一领域支持过一些暑期学校。在这里，我们提出了进一步培训支持的案例。总之，我们表明，在这一领域的高级培训的战略案例正在增加：数字图像和需要传输，处理和解释它们正在成为一个越来越重要的经济和社会。我们进一步认为，在这一领域的博士生培训计划不能提供足够的知识广度的研究生，使他们能够充分地为技术的发展，可以预期的贡献。图像在我们的社会和经济生活中发挥着越来越重要的作用。明显的例子是安全视频，生物识别，车辆识别，使用网络摄像头的视频电话，娱乐和医疗成像。图像具有编码和传输大量有用信息的能力，这意味着图像的捕获、处理和解释将成为数字经济的一个重要组成部分。

This proposal concerns funding for a training Summer School in Computer Vision and Digital Image Computing. EPSRC has previously supported a number of Summer Schools in this area. Here we set out the case for further training support. In summary, we show that the strategic case for advanced training in this area is increasing: digital images and the need to transmit, process and interpret them are becoming an increasingly important economically and socially. We further argue that doctoral training programmes in this field cannot provide research students with a sufficient breadth of knowledge to equip them fully to contribute to the technological developments that can be anticipated.Digital images are everywhere. Increasingly images play a central role of our social and economic lives. Obvious examples are security video, biometrics, vehicle recognition, videophone calls using webcams, entertainment and medical imaging. The capacity of images to encode and transmit huge quantities of useful information means that the capture, processing and interpretation of images will form a significant component in the digital economy.
