The Computer Vision Reading group meets every Wednesday at 11am at MRC 312. Each week someone presents a paper/book chapter/topic of interest to them. Suitable topics are computer vision / learning / algorithmic or mathematical techniques. The group is very informal. All staff, students, research fellows etc. are welcome to join us.

For the second round (8 weeks), the following papers will be presented.
