Women in Computer Vision workshop

About

Computer vision has become one of the largest computer science research communities. We have made tremendous progress in recent years over a wide range of areas, including object recognition, image understanding, video analysis, 3D reconstruction, etc.

However, despite the expansion of our field, the percentage of women researchers in both academia and industry is still relatively low. As a result, many women students and researchers in computer vision do not have a lot of opportunities to meet with other women and may feel isolated.

The goals of this workshop are to:

• Raise visibility of women computer vision researchers through invited talks by leading women researchers in the field.

• Provide opportunities for junior women students and researchers to present their work via oral/poster sessions and travel awards.

• Exchange experience and career advice between women students and researchers.

The half-day Women in Computer Vision (WiCV) workshop is a gathering for researchers of all genders and career stages. All are welcome and encouraged to attend the workshop. Travel grants will be offered to selected women presenters of oral and poster sessions.
