Italian institute of technology (IIT) - Genoa, 26th July 2016
The RENVISION final workshop will be held on 26th July 2016 at the Italian Institute of technology (IIT) in Genoa (Italy). Understanding the neurobiological principles beyond retinal functionality is essential to develop successful artificial computer vision architectures. The project “Retina-inspired ENcoding for advanced VISION tasks (RENVISION)” , funded by the European Union FP7 FET (Future Emerging technology) proactive program Neuro-Bio-Inspired Systems Call 9, investigate pan-retinal signal processing at high spatio-temporal resolution, through neuroscientific, optical and computational approaches involving advanced pattern recognition and machine learning technologies. The project sheds a new light on how the output of retinal processing allows solving complex vision tasks. The workshop will be organized as a one day meeting and it will represent a strong opportunity to present, discuss and promote the results obtained within the RENVISON project and it will also promote discussions and clustering actions with other EU projects, such as VISUALIZE. The participation to the scientific sessions listed in the following program is free of charge and abstracts for the poster session can be submitted.

HOW TO GET AT THE VENUE:
At the following link you may find indications on how to reach IIT: http://old.iit.it/en/getting-here.html
Address: Via Morego 30, 16163 Genova. Phone: 010.71781 (reception)
Parking place cannot be guaranteed. If you are planning to come with your car, please note that beside the IIT parking for visitors on the right side of the building, there is a public parking lot at the beginning of via Morego. You may leave your car there and use the IIT shuttle that leaves every 10/15 minutes and takes you uphill to IIT (about 8 minutes ride). Service runs from 8:00 to 10:10 and for the way back from 17:10 to 19:40.
Please note that there is also another IIT shuttle leaving the BRIN Subway station at 7:45, 8:45 and 9:45 (way back from IIT to BRIN subway station leaving at 17:25, 18:25 and 19:25.) The ride is of about 20 minutes.
