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

该提案涉及计算机视觉和数字图像计算培训暑期学校的资金问题。EPSRC以前曾在这一地区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理由。总而言之，我们表明，在这一领域进行高级培训的战略案例正在增加：数字图像及其传输、处理和解释的需求正在成为日益重要的经济和社会问题。我们进一步认为，这一领域的博士培训计划不能为研究型学生提供足够的知识广度，使他们能够充分装备他们，为可预期的技术发展做出贡献。图像在我们的社会和经济生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色。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、娱乐和医学成像。图像编码和传输大量有用信息的能力意味着图像的捕获、处理和解释将构成数字经济的重要组成部分。

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.
