2nd Joint VAMPIRE Workshop with Industry

June 29/30, 2005, Pommersfelden near Erlangen, Germany

The Pommersfelden Workshops aim at establishing a dialog between Cognitive Computer Vision research as conducted by the VAMPIRE consortium and industry experience, applications and demands.

The first workshop in this series successfully started this dialog and presented work centered around the VAMPIRE project. This second workshop is more focused on specific Cognitive Vision topics that are related to work done in VAMPIRE.
