FCAI Special Interest Groups
One of the core computer vision areas, namely, object recognition with large scale image datasets, was accredited largely for the recent advances in machine learning especially deep learning. Object classification with deep learning and large scale data is arguably what reignited the field of artificial neural networks and triggered a revolution in artificial intelligence. Since then, deep learning techniques shine in a broad range of areas such as computer vision, speech recognition and language translation.
Nowadays, artificial intelligence has spread over almost all fields of science and technology. Yet, computer vision remains in the heart of these advances when it comes to visual data analysis, offering the biggest big data and enabling advanced AI solutions to be developed focusing on the various problems and applications of computer vision.
Computer vision research in Finland is distributed in many research organizations with a large concentration at the University of Oulu. FCAI SIG AI for computer vision (CVAI) coordinates research activities using and developing AI tools for computer vision under FCAI umbrella for more efficient cooperation and synergy between the research organizations in Finland.
