This paper analyses aspects of socially organised conflict from an ethnomethodological point of view. In particular it examines the accomplishment of activities between civil and military Air Traffic Control operations at London’s Air Traffic Control Centre. It will be shown how civilian controllers orient to, take account of, and manifest the interface of military and civilian operations in such a way as for that interface to be perceived and treated by controllers themselves as conflicting. Examples will be taken from observed decision making relating to military rogue planes. Some remarks as to the history of ethnomethodological examination of accomplished conflict are made and proposals for the respecification of conflict as an analytic object for the sociology of work exposited.

The research we conduct on expressive visual representations is applicable to visual search, object detection, image classification and the automatic extraction of 3D human poses and shapes that can be used for human behavior understanding and prediction, human-robot interaction or even avatar animation. We also extract 3D information from images that can be used for intelligent robot navigation, augmented reality and the 3D reconstruction of objects, buildings or even entire cities.
Our work covers the spectrum from unsupervised to supervised approaches, and from very deep architectures to very compact ones. We’re excited about the promise of big data to bring big performance gains to our algorithms but also passionate about the challenge of working in data-scarce and low-power scenarios.
Furthermore, we believe that a modern computer vision system needs to be able to continuously adapt itself to its environment and to improve itself via lifelong learning. Our driving goal is to use our research to deliver embodied intelligence to our users in robotics, autonomous driving, via phone cameras and any other visual means to reach people wherever they may be.
