Seminars


In the Image Processing Lab (IPL) environment, invited talks by senior researchers, postdocs and PhD students in meetings for informal discussion of their research are held regularly, organized by the ISP group. We call these talks FFT, that in this case stands for "First Friday Talk", even though they may happen at any point of the week ;-) Below you may find a (non-exhaustive) list of the talks done so far to get a flavour of our interests...
