The UCL Computer Vision Reading group meets every Wednesday at 5pm in Room 6.12. Each week someone presents a paper / book chapter / topic of interest to them. Suitable topics are computer vision / graphics / learning / algorithmic or mathematical techniques. The group is very informal. All staff, students, research fellows etc. are welcome to join us.
Please email me at m.reynolds `at` cs.ucl.ac.uk if you would like to present a paper at the group. If you would like to receive announcements about the group, join the mailing list vision-reading using the usual method.
NB the schedule on this page is not guaranteed to be up to date or accurate, please join the mailing list if you want to be kept in the loop!
