MOTIVATION AND DESCRIPTION
The 11th edition of the International Computer Vision Summer School aims to
provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth analysis of
the state-of-the-art research in Computer Vision.

The last decade has seen a revolution in the theory and application of
computer vision and machine learning. In this edition we look at the future
of Representation, Action and Interaction.

The courses will be delivered by world renowned experts in the field, from
both academia and industry, and will cover both theoretical and practical
aspects of real Computer Vision problems as well as examples of their
successful commercialisation.

The school aims to provide a stimulating opportunity for young researchers
and Ph.D. students. The participants will benefit from direct interaction
and discussions with world leaders in Computer Vision. Participants will
also have the possibility to present the results of their research, and to
interact with their scientific peers, in a friendly and constructive
environment.

READING GROUP (WITH PRIZE!)
http://iplab.dmi.unict.it/icvss2017/ReadingGroup

Good ideas have deep roots. Understanding such roots is key to being able
to generate new ideas moving forward. The main goal of the Reading Group is
to practice ways in which exploration of these roots can be performed.

The homework prior to the commencement of the school consists in studying
(not just reading) one or more topics provided by the school committee, and
tracing the ideas as far back as you can. See the rules of engagement for
all details.

Detailed instructions with the rules of engagements will be sent to
students after acceptance notification.

ESSAY COMPETITION
http://iplab.dmi.unict.it/icvss2017/EssayCompetition

The essay competition reflects the importance of considering the “real
world” social impact of technology alongside the fundamental goals of basic
R&D.

Computer Vision is an area of scientific and technological development that
will continue to have a profound impact on society. It will redefine the
way in which information technology intersects and interfaces with medicine
and other disciplines, it will play a key role in the care of an ageing
population and it is already a fundamental aspect of modern security
technology.

Participants in the competition may write a piece of original work on the
topic 'Visible and invisible assistive computer vision around you'.
Detailed instructions with the rules of engagements will be soon online.

POSTER SESSION
http://iplab.dmi.unict.it/icvss2017/CallForPosters

Accepted students may submit a poster to present their research activity.
The poster should be sent before 15 May 2017, 23:59, GMT +2:00, Italy Time.
Please, read the Call for Student Poster section for poster guidelines.

A subset from the submitted posters will be selected by the school
committee for short oral presentation. A best presentation prize will be
given to the best presentation selected by the school committee.

SOCIAL EVENTS
In amongst a packed program of over 30 hours of school activities, there
will be time for a tour of the ancient and picturesque town of Ragusa Ibla
(RG) including the opportunity to experience the local traditions in the
form of folk dancing and a delicious feast featuring many of the local
delicacies. A social dinner and a party on the beach (with Disco) are also
part of the social program.
