Every day, we interact with intelligent systems and services in various forms, including apps on our phones, websites, and other devices. Technology never ceases to mimic the human brain and thus AI has gained a lot of interest for decades. AI is the umbrella of several breakthrough fields, machine learning is a subset of AI, wherein computer vision is also the subset of machine learning. The Summer School covers a wide range of topics in Artificial Intelligence from a variety of perspectives. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience.


3D Vision Summer School

The domain of 3D Vision deals with acquisition & analysis of 3-dimensional objects/scenes with wider applications in Animation, AR/VR platforms, Autonomous driving, Medical Imaging, etc. The primary representation for 3D objects are Point Cloud, Mesh and Voxels. These 3D objects/scenes are primarily captured either by depth sensors (e.g., RGBD sensors like Kinect and Laser sensors) or by processing images/videos taken from single/multiple RGB cameras. Algorithms for recovering 3D objects from multiple view images involves elaborate theoretical foundation from Multi-View Geometry developed in the last decade. Recently, deep learning methods have also reinvigorated interest in this domain with more efficient/scalable solutions for 3D reconstruction and analysis.

Scene Understanding Challenge for Autonomous Navigation in Unstructured Environments, at CVPR 2021

As Part of Second International Workshop On Autonomous Navigation in Unconstrained Environments, the workshop adopts a broad view of what is entailed by driving in unconstrained environments. Besides those aspects, this workshop also poses the challenge of autonomous driving in less constrained traffic, along with infrastructure that is not always dependable.


Third International Workshop On Autonomous Navigation in Unconstrained Environments, at CVPR 2021

Autonomous driving has recently emerged as a keystone problem for computer vision and machine learning, with significant interest in both academia and industry. Besides being a rich source of research problems for visual perception, learning, mapping and planning, it is also poised to have an immense societal and economic impact. Several large efforts from the automotive industry have projected the imminent deployment of Level 3 autonomous systems, with a few efforts also geared towards Level 5 autonomy in the near future. But reliable solutions have been trained and validated only in controlled environments, while a vast majority of road conditions deviate from the ideal. This workshop calls for intensive engagement from the research community to address this problem and proposes a benchmark dataset with rich annotations in relatively unconstrained conditions to facilitate the effort. A higher level goal is to percolate autonomous driving to domains where road infrastructure is sub-optimal for computer vision and machine learning but which stand to gain immeasurably from its benefits.

However, taking into consideration the continuous requests from previous participants, we have decided to conduct the Summer School Series through an online platform for 2021.
Artificial Intelligence is poised to become one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time. Every day, we interact with intelligent systems and services in various forms, including apps on our phones, websites, and other devices. Technology never ceases to mimic the human brain and thus AI has gained a lot of interest for decades. AI is the umbrella of several breakthrough fields, machine learning is a subset of AI, wherein computer vision is also the subset of machine learning .The 5th Summer School on Artificial Intelligence will be primarily focused on the concepts of Computer Vision and Machine Learning
Computer Vision seeks to automate tasks that human vision can achieve. This involves methods of acquiring, processing, analyzing, and understanding digital images, and extraction of data from the real world to produce information. It also has sub-domains such as object recognition, video tracking, and motion estimation, thus having applications in medicine, navigation, and object modeling.
Machine Learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, is the study of algorithms and statistical models. Systems use it to perform a task without explicit instructions and instead rely on patterns and inference. Thus, it applies to computer vision, software engineering, and pattern recognition.

Tutorial on MAP Estimation and Structured Prediction in Document Image Analysis, ICPR 2014

Many problems in document image analysis are being formulated as maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation in a Markov/conditional random field (MRF/CRF) setting. Examples include restoration, binarization, segmentation,and recognition. This class of formulations has resulted in the development of elegant algorithms for many challenging problems in this area. Often the output of these inferencing algorithms is a structured description (e.g., a string of characters, an array of labelled pixels, a tree/graph description of a document image). In this tutorial, we would like to connect the two well established areas (i.e., document image analysis, structured prediction by MAP estimation), and demonstrate how systematic development of robust algorithms can be enabled.


Tutorial on Building Scalable Solutions for Document Retrieval and Recognition, DAS 2014

Scalability of a given solution is an important consideration towards enabling retrieval and recognition over large collections of document images. However, the definitions of scalability are fast changing with the emergence of huge datasets and digital libraries, as well as the advent of new computing paradigms. In this tutorial, we shall cover three approaches towards building scalable document image retrieval and recognition systems:

  • Recognition-free retrieval using bag-of-visual-words
  • Recognition of word-images using indexing schemes
  • Large-scale testing/deployment using cloud computing

This tutorial shall include a parallel hands-on practical session, where the attendees would have the opportunity to practice the methods described in the tutorial. A dataset, along with the necessary code libraries, will be provided to the audience. Multiple solution stacks shall be deployed and evaluated by the various groups/individuals, with a scalable retrieval system being built by the end of the tutorial.

Computer Vision on GPUs (CVGPU)

Course at CVPR 2009, The GPUs have emerged as a useful computing co-processor that is readily available and economical. The latest commodity GPUs are rated for a peak performance of around 1 TFLOPs at the cost of $400 or so. The recent demand for high performance techniques has led to the adaptation of GPUs for various computer vision algorithms. Many computer vision algorithms are well-suited for processing on the GPU due to the match of the data-parallel computations to many operations on images. Recent advances such as CUDA and the OpenCL standard have the potential to accelerate the use of GPUs in many areas for more general purpose computing, including Computer vision. This course aims to familiarize computer vision researchers with the emerging and exciting area of fast computer vision algorithms on the GPU. It will give an introduction to the programming of the current state-of-the-art hardware to enable participants to employ the unique capabilities of GPUs.
