Main stream
Guess what is the main approach used: Deep Learning (DL). The difficulty was to find “old fashion” approaches, I mean that do not use DL.
To only cite a few, here are the famous Researchers that I was pleased to listen:
- Raquel Urtasun – Uber
- Malik Jitendra – Berkley
- Alexei Efros – Berkley
- Daniel Cremers – TUM Technical University of Munich
Concerning applications fields, we can notice that is mostly (and that is because it’s one of my research of interest) about:
autonomous car, video understanding, human analysis and 3D reconstruction and matching. Some other fields were addressed such as art, optimization, AR/VR.
I was exiting to see that problems such as lane marking detection and vanishing point extraction are still open.
