Overview

Welcome to the first meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Computer Vision workshop. This first iteration of the workshop is organized by Devi Parikh and Dhruv Batra. We bring together computer vision researchers around the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States for an informal exchange of ideas in all areas of computer vision. We welcome people to present new research, work that will be presented at upcoming conferences, reviews of not-well-publicized work, and descriptions of "work in progress." We hope that these discussions will let everyone get feedback on their work, inspire new research directions, and maybe even kindle new collaborations.

Location

The workshop will be held in the Brush Mountain A/B rooms of the Squires Student Center at Virginia Tech. Squires is located at 290 College Avenue, Blacksburg, VA 24060.

Attendees

The list of attendees can be found here.

Posters

Please create your posters in the standard portrait style (i.e., 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide). There is limited space for posters, so please do not make your posters any wider.

Talks

Please keep presentations to 15 minutes in length.

Getting to Campus

By Bus

Blacksburg Transit (BT) provides a great way to get to campus without needing to deal with parking. The route map can be found here or you can use Google Maps to figure out directions and times. Live updates of the bus routes can be found via BT4U.

By Car

For those that will be driving to campus, please allocate proper time to deal with parking. To avoid getting parking tickets, you will first need to pick up a Visitor's parking pass. Passes are available at the Visitor Center (925 Prices Fork Road, near The Inn at Virginia Tech). You will have to mention that you are attending the Mid-Atlantic Computer Vision workshop to get your pass. Although the workshop starts very early and parking should be available, please keep in mind that campus parking operates on a first-come basis, so no guarantee can be made about parking availability.
