Visual
place categorization (VPC) refers to the identification of the
semantic category of a place using visual information collected
from an autonomous robot platform.
The
VPC'09 workshop program consists of invited talks from both
robotics and computer vision researchers, covering a wide range of
topics such as robot mapping and visual place categorization,
object and scene recognition, and scene understanding.
