About This Workshop Series
The PBVS (previously OTCBVS) workshop is to highlight cutting edge advances and state-of-the-art work being made in the exponentially growing field of PBVS along its three main axes: Sensing/Imaging Technologies, Applications and Systems , and Theory/Algorithms. This field involves deep theoretical research in sub-areas of image processing, machine vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, robotics, and augmented reality within and beyond the visible spectrum. It also presents a suitable framework for building solid advanced vision based systems.
