CRV 2010

Joint conference information

CRV 2010 Tutorial Day

8:30am - 4:30pm, Sunday, 30 May 2010

University of Ottawa, SITE Building, Room ST E A0150

A free day of tutorials will be held on Sunday May 30, 2010 in conjuction with the CRV conference. The tutorial day will consist of many short presentations in areas of interest to CRV attendees. The topics are areas of importance in computer vision and robotics, and specifically on subjects presented in the following days at the conference itself.

Please look at last year's successful 2009 Tutorial day for an example of what we hope to repeat again in 2010.

The presentations will cover the most basic concepts, equations, and most referenced papers in each area . The material will not be the speaker's latest results, but rather the essential basics, and should be useful to new students and seasoned researchers alike.

The day is free, please come attend. It will run from 8:30am until 4:30pm on Sunday May 30/2010.

Location: Room ST E A0150 (SITE Building, UOttawa Campus). The SITE building is located at the south end of campus (opposite from downtown and hotels). Here is a map , pan down to the bottom of the map. Below the program is an embedded map.
