The Bay Area Vision Meeting (BAVM) is an informal gathering (without a printed proceedings) of academic and industry researchers with interest in computer vision and related areas. The goal is to build community among vision researchers in the San Francisco Bay Area, however, visitors and travelers from afar are also encouraged to attend and present. New research, previews of work to be shown at upcoming vision conferences, reviews of not-well-publicized work, and descriptions of "work in progress" are all welcome.
Topic and Format
The topic of BAVM 2012 is Large Scale and Fine Grained Recognition This half-day meeting will consist of keynote speeches by invited speakers as well as demos and poster sessions. The meeting is open to all researchers, faculty and students.
