Introduction

The 1stAutumn School on Deep Learning (ASDL) is a premier gathering for researchers, scientists and practitioners in the pattern recognition community. Pakistani Pattern Recognition Society (PPRS) in association with National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Institute of Space Technology (IST) and Bahria University, is organizing this school. Application of Deep Learning in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and real-time Computer Vision will be the main theme of this autumn school. Specialists from German and Pakistani universities will deliver high-quality content and will impart hands-on training to the school's audience at the Resource Center Murree (RCM), which is housed in the scenic landscapes of one of the most famous tourist destinations of Pakistan - the beautiful Murree hills.

Focus Areas

The school will highlight the following core areas:

  • Detail understanding of working of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
  • Get a hands on experience to configure and fly UAVs.
  • Data acquisition from UAVs.
  • Extracting information from 2D images using Deep Learning techniques.
  • Use of Deep Learing Algorithms for object tracking in the videos acquired using UAVs.

The school is organized with the motivation to promulgate advanced machine learning and computer vision techniques and their applications. The school will be conducted by well-renowned experts and researchers in their domains.

Highlights

  • Applications of Deep Learning combined with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
  • Experts will conduct tutorial style classes and “hands-on” laboratory classes.
  • Real-Time Deep Learning based Computer Vision techniques will be explored to process the data aquired from UAVs.

Vision
