Computer Vision Community MeetUp

Business Breakfast in Berlin

Thank you for being with us!

The Computer Vision Community MeetUp held on the 22nd of June in the heart of Berlin, brought together some of the brightest minds and innovators developing projects with computer vision. The meeting provided a platform for sharing ideas, discussing challenges, and fostering collaborations.

The day began with an inspiring power speech on “Computer Vision for Autonomous Systems: challenges that we are facing & ethical considerations in Computer Vision including privacy concerns, bias, and fairness issues” by Azarm Nowzad from Continental, a discussion panel on “Machine learning for computer vision and where are the limits?” with Marek Tatara, PhD – Chief Scientific Officer at DAC.digital and Karol Duzinkiewicz – Senior Computer Vision Researcher at DAC.digital, and a fireside chat on “Computer vision & Cybersecurity – opportunities and threats for business” with Łukasz Brandt – Senior Security Analyst at DAC.digital. The event also provided many networking opportunities, enabling participants to connect with like-minded professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and technical experts. DAC.digital experts were available to participants at the networking tables dedicated to robotics & space, medtech, agritech, and cybersecurity.

We are grateful for your active participation – your presence and engagement greatly contributed to the event’s success. It was a valuable experience for the DAC.digital team – we are already looking forward to the next meeting!

What was on the agenda?

Power speech by Azarm Nowzad

Computer Vision for Autonomous Systems: challenges that we are facing & ethical considerations in Computer Vision including privacy concerns, bias and fairness issues.

Discussion panel: Marek Tatara and Karol Duzinkiewicz

Machine learning for computer vision and where are the limits?

The discussion concerns the aspects of dynamical progress in the field of Machine Learning as applied to various computer vision tasks. It has proven to be very efficient and accurate, sometimes reaching levels of accuracy beyond human capabilities. Nevertheless, classical computer vision algorithms and analytical processing are still heavily relied on and cannot be easily removed from the vision processing pipelines. Therefore, we will discuss the boundaries of applicability of Machine Learning, future trends, and the importance of classical methods.

Fireside chat: Łukasz Brandt and Monika Dawidowicz
