3 million rubles for those who know how to code

In July, the international hackathon IceVision for unmanned vehicles will be held in Moscow - participants will have to teach AI to drive through snowstorms, drifts, icy conditions, low light - in short, in the conditions of the classical winter of a temperate climate zone. The competition is organized by NUST “MISiS” and the project “Up Great Technology Contests”. Partner - StarLine Research and Production Association. The prize fund of IceVision exceeds 3 million rubles. You can feel yourself like a god of snowy roads (and coding) by submitting an application until June 21.

By the way, Ice Vision is already the second experience of NITU "MISiS" in the organization of international hackathons. In September 2017, VisionHack, the first international hackathon in computer vision, was held in Dom Commune, where 27 teams from 5 countries of the world taught unmanned vehicle systems to see the road, distinguish zebra, speed bumps, road signs, etc. .

IceVision participants will have to develop software that will allow an unmanned vehicle to analyze data from stereo cameras or lidars and correctly recognize the traffic situation in adverse conditions of the Russian winter.

Confident recognition of signs in all weather conditions is a necessary requirement for creating a level 5 unmanned vehicle, i.e. able to move completely without the driver in any weather conditions on any public road. At the moment, this problem has not been completely solved by any of the manufacturers of unmanned vehicles, therefore it is relevant at the global level.

Dataset will consist of 20 thousand (!) Specially selected "winter" images of roads.
Hackathon will be held July 13-16 at the student campus "House-Commune" NUST "MISiS". All non-resident will provide free accommodation and meals. Age of participants from 14 to 30 years.

How to become a member of Ice Vision:

  1. Apply online until June 21st. At this point, it would be good to have a team of 3 to 5 people, but even if there is none, they will help to assemble the team on site.
  2. Complete competitive absentee selection. This is a small task for accessing the body exit to the full-time tour. Without selection it is impossible, everything is serious.

It's all. Only 2 points. Already on June 25, the results of the absentee phase will be announced, and it will be possible to slowly pack iron for the July intensives. Full-time stage will be held from 13 to 16 July.

Keep calm and code on.
