Using GPUs for Vision
One Day BMVA technical meeting in London, UK,
18th May 2011
Chair: Toby Breckon and Stuart Barnes (Cranfield University)
The increasing use of Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) processing approaches for the realization
of computer vision algorithms has led to a recent surge in both real-time capabilities and lowfootprint
optimization within the domain in addition to a number of other important advances.
Whilst the use of such specialist hardware appears to be having a renaissance, the experiences
and approaches of many practitioners differ. To some the use of such specialist hardware may be
seen as a short-cut, whilst to others a pragmatic means to an end.....
Topics: any varient on GPU in image processing or computer vision.

Aerial Image Analysis and Classification
One Day BMVA technical meeting in London, UK,
12th May 2010
Chair: Toby Breckon (Cranfield University)
Aerial image analysis and recognition (classification) is a well-established area with computer vision
and image processing for both aerial platform and satellite based imagery sources. The increased availability
of consumer level high-quality satellite imagery, the increased use and viability of Unammed Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
and a renewed drive in remote sensing for environmental monitoring has created somewhat of a
renaissance in this area in recent years.....
Topics: vehicle/people/asset recognition, crop classification, UAV imaging, derived mapping, vision based aerial navigation, indoor aerial vision, novel aerial sensing, aerial change detection, satellite imaging, environmental monitoring, security applications, civil applications ...

Vision for Automotive Applications
One Day BMVA technical meeting in London, UK,
20th May 2009
Chair: Toby Breckon (Cranfield University)
Automotive vision is an increasing area within computer vision research for both on and
off vehicle applications. Whilst improved driver awareness is an obvious conduit, the
greater potential for enhanced sensing within the wider road transport system offers
numerous benefits for safety, security and possibly the environment alike. ....
Topics: highway monitoring and reporting, driver monitoring, improved driver awareness, vision as a navigation aid, automotive data fusion, real-time obstacle detection, pedestrian and vehicle detection terrain / road classification, vision for post incident forensics novel on-vehicle sensing, road side asset detection and cataloguing, on-vehicle recognition and classification
