=== Aim & Scope ===

The international summer school VISMAC "VISione delle MACchine" (in English, "Machine Vision") is organized every two years by the "Associazione Italiana per la ricerca in Computer Vision, Pattern recognition e machine Learning" (CVPL - ex-GIRPR) affiliated to International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). It represents a stimulating opportunity for doctoral students, young researchers from universities, research institutions and industry. The primary objective of the Summer School is to provide a common scientific and cultural background on the subjects of computer vision and pattern recognition.

This edition of VISMAC will mainly focus on four renowned research topics: Bio-imaging, Automotive, Cultural Heritage, Image forensics.

The school will be from the 21st to the 24th of September 2021 as a full online event through Microsoft Teams. At the conclusion of class, students will be required to perform successfully an online exam to obtain a final certification.
