The British Machine Vision Student Workshop (BMVW) takes place in the afternoon of the 10th September 2015. The workshop has become a regular feature of British Machine Vision Conference. It provides an excellent opportunity for postgraduate students in computer vision to present their on-going research, to network and to start collaborations with other students. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to attend keynote sessions about hot topics in the field presented by experienced researcher. The workshop is a single track containing oral presentations. All accepted papers will be digitally published on-line at the BMVA website. Traditionally, BMVW workshop only accepted student submissions from British institutions. This year we also encourage student submissions from institutions outside UK. Priority is given to student participants from UK institutions, however.
This year, there are 11 (6 UK and 5 Non-UK) submissions to BMVW2015. Non-UK submissions come from Africa (20), North America (20), and Asia (60), according to the first author's affiliation. 5 papers were accepted for oral presentations. We also have record number of reviewers (32). Each paper was reviewed by exactly 4 reviewers. We gratefully thank all reviewers for providing punctual and insightful reviews for the very smooth running of BMVW2015. We are grateful to our keynote speaker Prof. Mark Nixon (University of Southampton) who is an expert in Biometrics. We are also delighted to have Dr Adeline Paiement (Bristol University) to give an invited postdoc talk, covering not only technical research, but also her experience on PhD and Post-doc life.
