Dear Autonomous Systems (cars, drones) engineers, scientists, and
enthusiasts,

 

you are welcomed to register to the 2020 Summer e-School on Autonomous
Systems having focus on autonomous drones, cars and marine vessels:

http://icarus.csd.auth.gr/aiia-summer-school-on-autonomous-systems-2020/

It will take place on 17-21/8/2020 and will be hosted by the Artificial
Intelligence and Information Analysis (AIIA) Lab, Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki (AUTH), Thessaloniki, Greece. 

 

The summer e-school consists of two short e-courses:

a) 'Short e-course on Deep Learning and Computer Vision for Autonomous
Systems 2020', 17-18th August 2020:

http://icarus.csd.auth.gr/dl-and-cv-for-autonomous-cars-2020/

b) 'Programming short e-course and workshop on Deep Learning and Computer
Vision for Autonomous Systems', 19-21th August 2020:

http://icarus.csd.auth.gr/autonomous-systems-2020/

 

You can follow the above-mentioned links for registration on either or both
e-courses.

For questions, please contact: Ioanna Koroni <koroniioanna at csd.auth.gr
<mailto:koroniioanna at csd.auth.gr> >

 

The first e-course contains 16 live (and recorded) lectures providing an
in-depth presentation of computer vision and deep learning problems
algorithms with applications on autonomous drones, cars and marine vessels.

The second programming short e-course and workshop offers a mix of live (and
recorded) lectures and programming workshops (hands-on lab exercises) and
aims at developing registrants' programming skills for Deep Learning and
Computer Vision, with focus on drone planning/control and imaging.

 

Both short e-courses are organized by Prof. I. Pitas, IEEE and EURASIP
fellow, He is AUTH prime investigation for H2020 project AerialCore,
Coordinator of the European Horizon2020 R&D project Multidrone, Director of
the Artificial Intelligence and Information analysis Lab (AIIA Lab),
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece and Chair of the IEEE SPS
Autonomous Systems Initiative. He is ranked 249 top Computer Science and
Electronics Scientist internationally by Guide2research (2018).

 

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is the biggest University in Greece and
in SE Europe. It is highly ranked internationally.
