Vision & Graphics Reading Group

We meet to discuss a research paper or book chapter on a topic in computational vision or computer graphics. Oftern there are applications in robotics or human-computer interaction (HCI). We are currently meeting every Friday, but it really depends on the interest and schedule of participants. Our venue is now Thursday mornings at 11 AM in the Tenaya conference room, building 3U, unless otherwise noted. Guidelines

Founded by Donald Tanguay, and currently organized by Michael Harville. To join our Yahoo group mailing list, send email to harville@hp.com.
