Visiting Students
We're pleased to welcome two visiting students from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. Akshay Gulati will be working with Steve on calibrating and synchronising cameras, while Abhishek Sunkari will be working with Brendan and Nabeel on a mobile application for location determination. They will be with us until mid July.
New Year, Even More New Students
As well as the new 400-level project students, several new Postgrads have joined the lab. Maria, Xiping, and Jordan are all starting PhD research, while Ben is studying towards an MSc.
New Year, New Students
Once again, the start of the academic year brings new 400-level project students to the lab. This year we have eight such students, and you can find out about their projects on the people pages.
IVCNZ Proceedings Online
The proceedings for the IVCNZ 2012 conference that was held here in Dunedin late last year are now available online through the ACM Digital Library. Thanks to all the authors, reviewers, attendees, and helpers who made it such a successful event.

Summer Students
We're pleased to have four undergraduate students working in the lab over summer. Jess is working on mobile phone localisation and motion estimation; Thomas is looking at vision-based quadrotor control; Matthew is building image distortion/smart magnification applications; and Corwin is investigating automatic musical composition.
IVCNZ 2012
At the end of November we hosted the Image and Vision Computing New Zealand (IVCNZ) 2012 conference. Brendan, Steven, and Jeremiah Deng from Information Science were the conference organisers, and many people from the lab helped out. Brendan, Steven, Nabeel, and Umair all had papers in the conference - see the publications page for details.
