I’m attending the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) conference this week.  I’ve read a lot of papers from past proceedings but this is the first time I’ve attended.  (A few interesting talks and posters but so far nothing particularly applicable to work.  Still a few days to go though.)   Anyhow, best quote so far from the meeting:

You might think that you can move in any direction in the tomato space.

Ah, but you can’t!  In all seriousness, the speaker was talking about a mathematical representation of tomatoes from unripe to ripe to sliced or diced.  More generally, his topic was representation of objects undergoing transformations.  It was an interesting talk.
