Dieses Computermodell könnte es Designern erlauben, passgenauere Gesichtsmasken unterschiedlicher Form und Größe zu entwerfen. Atemschutzmasken, die medizinisches Fachpersonal während der Covid-19 Pandemie tragen müssen, könnten so besser an das Gesicht anschließen und besseren Schutz bieten.

Autonomous Vision Perceiving Systems News 12-03-2019 3rd Computational Vision Summer School - Apply now! From 30.6. to 7.7.2019 Application deadline: April 15, 2019 We are organizing the 3rd Computational Vision Summer School from 30.6. to 7.7.2019 in the beautiful black forest, Germany. It is aimed at PhD students and Postdocs with an interest in vision science research. Previous editions were fun, intellectually rewarding events for students and faculty alike. The summer school spans the entire spectrum of vision research from neuroscience and psychophysics to computer vision and fosters discussions at the intersection of biological and artificial vision systems. The school is unique in bringing together people from diverse disciplines in a very familiar atmosphere (only 60 people in total). CVSS is tuition free and accomodation is sponsored by the CRC/1233 Robust Vision. Andreas Geiger Michael Black Siyu Tang
