Royal extension: AVA/BMVA Biological and Computer Vision till end of Monday 2nd May

**  Due to a personal request from William and Kate we have agreed to extend the deadline for submissions until the end of Monday. **


AVA/BMVA Meeting on Biological and Computer Vision
School of Psychology, Cardiff University, 26th May 2011

Introductory talk
John Frisby, "Whatever happened to Marr? Reflections from writing the second edition of a textbook 30 years after the first edition (of Seeing, 1979)." [Psychology, University of Sheffield]

Invited Keynote Speakers:
John Tsotsos, Centre for Vision Research, York University, Toronto.
Michele Rucci, Active Perception Laboratory, Boston University.

The rest of the day is structured around conversations at posters.

WHY SHOULD YOU COME?

* It is a joint meeting with the Applied Vision Association (AVA), which is the BMVA's equivalent for biological vision researchers. That offers several opportunities: you can find out if there are any new and interesting biological vision techniques that you can adopt; you can interest biological vision researchers in your research, in today's world that might mean valuable citations and "impact"; you might meet a potential co-applicant for a grant proposal.

* John Frisby will be kicking the day off for us ("Whatever happened to Marr? Reflections from writing the second edition of a textbook 30 years after the first edition (of Seeing, 1979).")

* We have invited two keynote speakers: John Tsotsos from Centre for Vision Research (CVR) at York University, Toronto and Michele Rucci, from Boston University. Both people provide excellent examples of the combination of biological and computer vision research.

* EPSRC will be in attendance.  It would be good for them to see a strong representation from the computer vision community.

* Also in attendance will be people from a selection of commercial companies (Sony, EADS, CRS etc). So again, this will be an opportunity to impress and make contacts.

* Everyone is welcome - don't worry if your work is not biologically motivated, it may still be of interest to the biological vision people.

* Its only a 250 word abstract.  If you choose the non-Perception abstract option then you can even reuse an old abstract - though tweak it slightly so the biological people have a clue what you are talking about.
