The Sino-USA Computer Vision Summer School
The Sino-USA Computer Vision summer school has become a mutually beneficial annual event for computer vision researchers and students from both the US and China. From the vision summer school in Lotus Hill Institute (2005) to our recent sequence of the Sino-USA summer schools in vision, learning and pattern recognition (VLPR) in Beijing (2009), Xi'an (2010) and Chengdu (2011), we have successfully brought accumulatively more than 60 top-level computer vision researchers together with hundreds of students from both China and US. The impact and reputation of the VLPR summer school sequence has grown rapidly, and VLPR 2012 continues this positive trend.
Computer Vision in Biomedical Image Applications: from Micro to Macro
This topic complements the methodology-centered VLPRs in the past with an application-oriented and human-centered focus on life forms at different scales: from human and animals (macro) to cells (micro). The goal of VLPR 2012 is to illustrate a cross-section of state of the art computer vision and machine learning methodologies, to broaden the horizon for innovation and creativity, and to address fundamental issues of high throughput computing on multi-modal, high-dimensional, and high volume image data (Big Data).
Scientific Exchange - Vision and Learning
Both vision and machine learning have seen tremendous progress over the last few years. Increasingly, researchers in both fields are turning their attention to problems that blur the line between the two. Become a part of this new synthesis with lectures and discussions from the best and brightest of both fields. Learn more about our speakers and school program.
Cultural Exchange - China and the USA
Not simply a series of lectures, the summer school also offers the chance to meet researchers from the U.S. and China in city of Shanghai. As China emerges as a world leader, American-Chinese collaboration will be also grow - and VLPR 2012 is a chance to get started now.
Experience not just the academic side of China, but also the cultural and social side with Shanghai's wide array of attractions, both the very ancient and the very modern.
