Call for Papers: Computer Vision and Image Processing Program

Subfield Program Chair:

Dr. Hongli Deng, Object Video Inc.

Prof. Ge Jin, Purdue University

 

Computer vision, image processing and machine learning technologies have been more and more merged with geospatial techniques in recent years. This strong combination is largely due to the technology improvements in both domains and strong commercial application incentives. We see Amazon acquire 3D mapping company Upnext, Apple bought C3 technology, Google glass employs augmented reality with real time location information. Behind all these emerging applications, computer vision, image processing, machine learning together with geospatial, location intelligence are the driving forces.

The focus of this program are technology fusion of these two domains. It could be ideas of how to build 3D maps using stereo images; how to develop visual analysis and geo-location recognition capabilities that make use of vast amount of contextual information available on internet; how GPU can be used for geospatial image and video processing; how geospatial data processing can provide timely information for disaster management; Or it could be how to detect specific targets from satellite images. Papers describing original research, practical systems and stimulating ideas are solicited in the areas related to computer vision, image processing, machine learning and geospatial techniques. Topics of interest include but not limited to:

Building 3D map from stereo vision
3D Construction from video sequences
Geo-localization by Image
Geo-localization by UVA videos
GPS-denied navigation
Geospatial image tagging
Geospatial visual analytics
Visual analysis in remote sensing images
Geospatial image and video sensing
Geospatial feature detection and matching
Feature extraction from remote sensing images
GPU/GPGPU computing for geospatial technologies
Image and video based rendering
Video-based virtual environments
Geospatial augmented reality
Large scale geospatial image and video computing
Situation awareness by mobile phone
Geospatial image processing for disaster management

Paper should describe original and unpublished work about the above or closely related topics. Each paper will receive single blind reviews, moderated by the program chairs.
