Arun Mukundan, Giorgos Tolias and Ondrej Chum received the best science paper honourable mention at the British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC) 2017 for their article Multiple-kernel Local-patch Descriptor.
Four papers, one as oral presentation, were accepted at ICCV2017 which is one of the most prestigious computer vision conferences with a very selective review process and low acceptance rate. Congratulations to Zuzana Kukelova, Jiri Matas, Michal Busta, Lukas Neumann, Karel Zimmermann, Tomas Petricek, Vojtech Salansky, and Tomas Svoboda.
Paper of authors K. Zimmermann, T. Petricek, V. Salansky, and T. Svoboda was accepted as oral presentation at ICCV 2017! We propose an active 3D mapping method for depth sensors, which allow individual control of depth-measuring rays, such as the newly emerging solid-state lidars. The method simultaneously (i) learns to reconstruct a dense 3D occupancy …
