VIEW 2013 - IEEE Vision Industry and Entrepreneur Workshop

Once largely an academic discipline, computer vision today is also a commercial force. Startups and global corporations are building businesses based on computer vision technology. These businesses provide computer vision based solutions for the needs of consumers, enterprises in many commercial sectors, non-profits, and governments. The demand for computer vision based solutions is also driving commercial and open-source development in associated areas, including hardware and software platforms for embedded and cloud deployments, new camera designs, new sensing technologies, and compelling applications.
Last year, we introduced the IEEE Vision Industry and Entrepreneur Workshop (VIEW) at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) to bridge the academic and commercial worlds of computer vision. The goals of VIEW are:
to educate computer vision researchers on startups and commercialization
to provide a meeting place for researchers, technologists, businesses, investors, and users
This year, we plan to continue with the successful features from last year and enhance it with new features. We anticipate the program will include talks and panels featuring speakers from startups, major corporations, and the investment community. The program will also include a poster and demo session for startups, industry computer vision teams, and others to introduce themselves. Benefits of participating in VIEW 2013 include both learning and networking.
