, organised by the British Machine Vision Association and Society for Pattern Recognition (BMVA). The course is residential, usually held over five days, and consists of lectures and practicals in topics in image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition. It is intended that the course will complement and extend the material in existing technical courses that many students/researchers will encounter in their early stage of postgraduate training or careers. It aims to broaden awareness of knowledge and techniques in Vision, Image Computing and Pattern Recognition, and to develop appropriate research skills, and for students to interact with their peers, and to make contacts among those who will be the active researchers of their own generation. It is open to students from both UK and non-UK universities. The registration fees vary based on time of registration and are in general slightly higher for non-UK students. The summer school has been hosted locally by various universities in UK that carry out Computer Vision research, e.g., Kingston University,
