• Christopher M. Bishop (Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK)
• Shree K. Nayar (Columbia University, USA)
• Prabhakar Raghavan (Yahoo Research, USA)

The CVPR 2010 program committee has added an additional review criterion of repeatability. There will be rating and associated comment fields for questions such as: "Are there sufficient algorithmic and experimental details and available datasets that a graduate student could replicate the experiments in the paper? Alternatively, will a reference implementation be provided?". More information is available in the author guidelines for CVPR 2010.

Jan Wedekind presented Computer vision using Ruby and libJIT at RubyConf IX at San Francisco, California last week. The presentation covered the use of the Ruby programming language, the HornetsEye computer vision toolkit, and the libJIT just-in-time compiler to build real-time vision applications. The presentation slides include many code examples. The presentation overview is here.
