Heads Up

 

We (OpenCV Foundation) are running a computer vision contest. The goal is to get state of the art algorithms in at least 5 of 11 vision categories. We will have a workshop at CVPR 2015 to go over the winning entries. The code will then be available in OpenCV contrib. It is OK to duplicate existing state of the art in an OpenCV compliant framework under a BSD license or to develop new algorithms/code. It is OK if you have submitted the work elsewhere or currently submitted to this CVPR, we will not leak entries early. There will be a $50K award pool to distribute to the winners in the 5 top categories. 

 

Please distribute and encourage people you know to enter!
