Welcome to the DCAPI research group.

Our multi-disciplinary research is mainly focused on the analysis and mining of digital contents (Visual; images and videos, and textual). This includes Computer Vision, Image/Video Processing and analysis, Semantic Analysis, annotation, Action recognition, Image/Video Matching and similarity (Copy & Near-Duplicate detection), and many others.

We welcome any discussion and potential collaboration. Please get in touch with us (contacts on the right side-bar).

The event included tutorial sessions (Vision for language people, and language for vision people). We had an increased presence this year.

Last year, we had a good presence in the last year’s workshop (http://amrahmed.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2011/09/19/vl-network-workshop-brighton/), had good discussions and useful feedback on the presented work.

Looking forward for similar, if not even better, experience this year.

Best wishes for the presentations.

Over 40 researchers, from vision and language areas, attended and it was a good opportunity for networking and exchange of contacts and ideas. Posters and sides will be available on the network’s website in the near future
