======Dynamic Vision Forum====== **Date of forum:** Sept 12 (Friday) 2008 14:00-17:00 including Apero\\ **Location:** [[http://www.ini.uzh.ch|Inst. of Neuroinformatics (INI)]], UNI-ETH Zurich, University of Zurich-Irchel\\ **{{dvforum:dvsforum.pdf|Invitation flyer}}** **{{dvforum:dvforumdemoprogram.pdf|Detailed program}}** The INI has developed a radically new device called the [[start:|Dynamic Vision Sensor]] that has opened new application areas that will benefit Swiss industry. This forum will introduce participants to this technology and enable partnership developments. The long range goal of this workshop is to encourage innovation in Swiss industry. The immediate goals are to establish cooperations in the form of feasibility studies. The INI can supply sample devices to partners and the focus of the forum will be on applications. ====Who should attend==== The forum is directed to a select group of enterprises who may have business or business opportunities in the area of high speed vision, low power vision, surveillance, manufacturing, inspection, vehicle control, or other areas involving dynamic vision. ====Registration==== This forum is by **invitation only**. Registration is free and can be completed by sending an email to Kathrin Aguilar (<html><a href="mailto:kathrin@ini.phys.ethz.ch?subject=DV forum">kathrin@ini.phys.ethz.ch</a></html>) **with the subject line "DV forum"** and including the following information: -A list of attendees and their affiliations. -How many plan to attend the sponsored dinner The deadline for registration is **30 May, 2008**. =====Program===== {{dvforum:dvforumdemoprogram.pdf|Detailed program, demonstration guide and direction to restaurant}} ^Introductory session^^ |14:00-14:15 |Introduction (Prof. Rodney Douglas, INI)| |14:15-14:30 |Demonstration of the basic properties of the Dynamic Vision Sensor (Tobi Delbruck, INI)| |14:30-14:45 |Question and answer session| |14:45-15:00 |Intellectual property situation (Wolfgang Hengeller, Unitectra)| |15:00-15:30 |coffee break | ^Application scenario session^^ |15:30-16:00 |Application scenarios (Tobi Delbruck, INI, Martin Liztenberger, ARC)| |16:00-17:00 |Live demonstrations (see {{dvforum:dvforumdemoprogram.pdf|program}})| |17:00-18:00 |Apero in the big room at the INI| |19:00-21:00 |Dinner at Zum Weissen Kreuz ({{http://map.search.ch/zuerich/roessligasse-3|Rössligasse 3, 8001 Zürich}}) (see {{dvforum:dvforumdemoprogram.pdf|program}})| =====Directions to the Forum===== ===By train and tram=== From the main station take Tram Number 10 towards Seebach to "Universität Irchel" (about 10 min) or Tram Number 14 towards Seebach to the "Milchbuck" stop. Follow the arrow "Universität" , and you will end up on the broad walkway. There is a reception (information) inside building 23 on the right-hand side when you enter. Follow the signs to our building (BAU 55), left of the broad walkway and the entrance to our institute is on the left, just as you enter the building. ===By Car:=== ==From the south or south-east== (Motorway N3 from Chur, Sihltal from Gotthard, Luzern). Follow the motorway N3 until the end. Then following the signs towards Winterthur, St.Gallen and Flughafen Kloten you will cross the Limmat Valley on the EscherWyss Bridge and go straight up the hill to the top. There you should see a sign directing you to the right to "Uni Irchel - Parkhaus" , the Campus underground parking lot, where you can leave your car. ==From the west== (Motorway N1 from Basel, Bern) Do not go into Zürich. Instead follow the north branch of the motorway towards Winterthur and St.Gallen. At the "Dreieck Zürich-Ost" take the branch towards "Zürich, Chur, Luzern" , leave the motorway at the "Zürich-Schwamendingen" Exit and follow the white signs towards "Irchel" until you see a sign pointing towards "Irchel - Parkhaus" , where you can park your car. These directions also apply if you come by rental car from Zurich-Kloten airport. ==From the north== (Motorway N1 from St.Gallen) At the "Dreieck Zürich-Ost" take the branch towards "Zürich, Chur, Luzern" . Leave the motorway at the "Zürich-Schwamendingen" Exit and proceed as described above. Once you are at the Irchel campus of the University of Zurich, please follow this map: {{dvforum:plan_irchel1.png?500|Map of Irchel campus showing the INI}} ======Contacts====== ==Technical inquires== Dr.Tobi Delbruck\\ Inst. of Neuroinformatics\\ +41 44 635 30 38\\ tobi@ini.phys.ethz.ch\\ www.ini.uzh.ch ==Licensing inquires:== Dr. Wolfgang Henggeler MSc, MAS MTEC\\ Licensing & Research Contracts\\ Unitectra - Technology Transfer for the Universities of Zurich and Berne\\ +41-44-634 44 01; direct +41-44-634 44 02\\ henggeler@unitectra.ch\\ http://www.unitectra.ch ==Austrian Research Corporation Smart Systems== Dr. Martin Litzenberger (technical), Dr. Bernhard Kohn (sales), Dr. Manfred Krenn (product development)\\ Austrian Research Corporation\\ Smart Sensors and Neuroinformatics\\ Smart Systems Division\\ Austrian Research Centers GmbH – ARC\\ +43 (0)50550 4226\\ martin.litzenberger@arcs.ac.at,bernhard.kohn@arcs.ac.at,manfred.krenn@arcs.ac.at http://www.smart-systems.at ======The Inst. of Neuroinformatics (INI)====== (www.ini.uzh.ch) The INI was established as a joint institute of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich in 1995. The mission of the INI is to discover the key principles by which brains work and to implement these principles in artificial systems that interact intelligently with the real world. Recent articles in Scientific American and IEEE Spectrum cite the INI as one of the world's leading centers for neuromorphic engineering. |Forum program |Tobi Delbruck, <tobi@ini.phys.ethz.ch>, phone +41 44 635 30 38| |Forum planning |Andre Jaecklin & Ulrich Brühlmann (INI)| |Forum administration |Kathrin Aguilar, <kathrin@ini.phys.ethz.ch>, phone +41 44 635 3051|
