Full day workshop, in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2011) Important Dates ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: July 1, 2011 Notification of acceptance: September 1, 2011 Camera-ready submission deadline: beginning of September 2011 Workshop: November, 7 2011 Organizers ---------------------------------------------------------------- Srikumar Ramalingam, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, USA Jingyi Yu, University of Delaware, USA Josechu Guerrero, Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain Aims and Scope ---------------------------------------------------------------- In recent years, panoramic and omnidirectional sensors have been a key technology in the development of visual perception. Omnidirectional and panoramic sensors have found numerous applications, including localization, navigation, visual servoing, and enhanced situational awareness for autonomous or teleoperated systems. One of the foremost communities for advancing omnidirectional sensors is OMNIVIS, also known as the Workshop on Omnidirectional Vision, Camera Networks and Non-Classical Cameras. This workshop will cover a wide range of topics including camera networks, non-classical sensors, camera calibration, structure-from-motion and SLAM. The workshop is open to both the computer vision community and the robotics community and hopes to build on the synergies that have developed between these two communities in the recent years. Contributions are sought on new and original research on any aspect of omnidirectional vision and camera networks, including novel sensor design, panoramic vision applications, and scalable algorithms for large-scale camera networks. All papers will be subject to a double-blind review process which will be carried out by a Program Committee of leading international researchers. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Camera Networks Non-classical Sensors Camera Calibration Applications of Omnidirectional Cameras to Robotics Structure-from-motion, Navigation, Visual servoing, SLAM A selection of the best papers in the workshop will be considered for the edition of a special issue in a robotics / computer vision international journal. There is a Best Paper Award sponsored by MERL Submissions ---------------------------------------------------------------- Submission and review process will follow the standard ICCV main conference submissions. The page limit is 8 pages with no extra page charge. Papers should be prepared in the ICCV format detailed both in the workshop and main conference websites. Papers should be submitted through the following site: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/OMNIVIS2011/ --------------------------------------------------------
