Workshops

Annual Interdisciplinary Conference

Computational and Mathematical Models in Vision (ModVis) - a satellite event held right before the VSS conference in Florida.

Fourth International Workshop on Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision (SPHCV) @ VSS 2011 May 5, 2011
Naples, Florida

Third International Workshop on Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision (SPHCV) @ ECCV2010 September 11, 2010
Crete, Greece

Second International Workshop on Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision (SPHCV) @ ECVP09 August 29, 2009
Regensburg, Germany

The first SPHCV was a major success, exposing students and researchers in computer vision to recent progress in the human shape perception community.  We hope to provide students and researchers in human shape perception an equivalent exposure to recent progress in the computer vision community. 

New Perspectives on Human Problem Solving. Purdue Winer Memorial Lectures. November, 2008, West Lafayette, USA.

This was the second international workshop on human problem solving that was held at Purdue. There were about 40 attendees from USA, Canada, Europe and Australia.

First International Workshop on Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision (SPHCV) @ ECCV08 October 18, 2008
Marseille, France

The goal of this workshop was to bring together some of the community's most distinguished shape perception researchers, from both human and computer vision, to discuss the current status of research on shape,  identify the major challenges that need to be addressed, and help define directions for future research. This was the first such multidisciplinary workshop devoted specifically to shape perception.

Workshop on Human Problem Solving. Difficult Optimization Tasks. June, 2005, West Lafayette, USA.

This workshop was the first ever meeting that brought together psychologists and computer scientists to discuss human ability to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Delegates from the USA, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, The Netherlands, and Austria met at Purdue University.
