Algebraic Vision Conference 2015

这笔旅行补助金将用于支持2015年10月8日至9日在柏林技术大学举行的代数视觉第一次会议的美国与会者。代数视觉是计算机视觉与数学交叉的一个新兴研究领域，旨在发展从嘈杂的二维图像重建三维场景和相机中出现的基本几何问题的代数-几何基础。这种对结构的理解，一方面将允许为视觉中的许多实际问题设计专门算法的可能性，同时也使纯数学家接触到应用中出现的丰富而结构化的代数问题。这种交流有可能使计算机视觉、代数几何和多项式优化受益和丰富。会议的主要目标是建立计算机视觉、代数几何和多项式优化研究人员之间的联系，从而确定一组核心问题，这些问题可以从这三个领域的现有工具中受益。为此，会议议程将以双方专家的简短会谈为中心，并留出充足的讨论时间。年轻的研究人员将有机会接触到这种新的问题和思想交流，这将有可能从这三个密切相关的领域培养具有一套共同的复杂和有用技能的新一代。

This travel grant will support for US-based participants at the first meeting on Algebraic Vision to be held at the Technical University in Berlin from October 8-9, 2015. Algebraic Vision is an emerging research area at the intersection of computer vision and mathematics that seeks to develop the algebro-geometric foundations of fundamental geometric problems that arise in the reconstruction of 3-dimensional scenes and cameras from noisy 2-dimensional images. This structural understanding will allow the possibility of designing specialized algorithms for the many practical problems in vision on the one hand, while also exposing pure mathematicians to rich and structured algebraic problems that arise in applications. This exchange has the potential to benefit and enrich computer vision, algebraic geometry and polynomial optimization.The primary goal of the meeting is to initiate connections between researchers in computer vision, algebraic geometry and polynomial optimization so as to identify a core set of problems that can benefit from established tools in the three fields. For this purpose, the meeting agenda will revolve around short talks by experts from both sides with plenty of time in between for discussions. Young researchers will have the opportunity to be exposed to this new exchange of problems and ideas which will create the possibility of training a new generation with a common set of sophisticated and useful skills from these three closely related fields.
