Brief course description: In this seminar series we will cover different sub-areas of robot vision. Topics addressed in the seminars include low-level vision, 3D reconstruction from images, vision based ego-motion estimation, visual servoing, object detection and localization, and semantic scene segmentation. The objective of the seminars is to provide an overview of the recent trend in each covered topic.

The first lectures will include a brief introduction by the teacher about the research area, with a (non comprehensive) overview of the the state-of-the-art and the current trends. In the remaining lectures, four or five research papers for each lecture will be presented and discussed by the students. At the end of the lectures, it will be held a poster session where each student will present a paper through a poster, interacting with the audience about the paper contributions, methods, etc…

In the presentation of the paper, students should cover:

• Aims and objective of the paper
• Some related work
• The main contributions of the paper
• Methods
• Presented experiments
• ... 
  

Some questions will be asked by the teacher and possibly by the students during the presentation. The presentation slides should be sent in advance, at least two days before the presentation.

Papers are assigned on a first come first serve basis. The papers list will be published in the course Moodle page after the introductory lectures. You can only pick one paper of the ones still remaining.
