How to do research?

Find a research point.

Read new paper,such as ICCV,CVPR,PAMI.If you find some new idea,which can be made use of in your work,you can do it.

Think it before you do it,analyze why you do it like that.

If you have a problem,talk about it with your teachers,and colleagues,analyze why it doesn't work.Brain storm...

Do not depend on others excessively,you should have your own ideas.

When you talk about with others,you should know what you can get from others.If you have any problem, must solve it.Do not leave it alone.

Study how to write a good paper,including structure,grammar,...,ensure readers can easily understand what you want to express, and your experiment support your idea.

Abstract What is the problem? What is your solution and results?

Introduction Problem X is important.Previous work A, B, … have been studied A, B have certain weakness (be careful here);We propose D, features of D (how much)Experiment with D.Compared with A, B,D is better than A, B(in certain aspects) ;Outline of the paper

Review of Previous Work Previous work:may split to several classes,e.g. Can review each work in one or several sentences;Compare to yours (refer to later sections)May also put it after sections about your work.

Our Work Definition, notation (need motivation);Algorithms: pseudo-code; diagram;explanations Answer potential questions from readers;Too much details (such as proof): appendix

Experiments and Comparisons Experiment design;Comparisons (Is it scientific?); Discussions (make sense of the results);Draw conclusions;

Conclusions Quick summary;Future work
