Dates: July 23- July 29, 2012

Fudan University

Shanghai, China

The USA-Sino 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 USA-Sino 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 have grown rapidly, and VLPR 2012 continues this positive trend. US NSF, NSFC and Fudan University provide travel and boarding funds for US student attendees to VLPR 2012 summer school, apply now!
