---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers for the 2013 ICCV Workshop on Big Data in 3D Computer Vision (BigData3DCV) Sydney, Australia Dec 8, 2013 http://www.multimediauts.org/BigData3DCV/index.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We would like to invite you to participate and contribute to the Big Data in 3D Computer Vision Workshop in conjunction with the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV13), Dec 1-8 2013, Sydney, Australia. Scope & Topics: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main goal of this workshop is to explore scientific research on Big Data in 3D computer vision. There is an increasingly rich amount of 3D visual data available from our daily life. Smartphones have good built-in cameras for pictures and videos Corporations including Google, Microsoft and Nokia have 3D data for major cities in their map services Consumers usually upload multiple images or videos from the same location Inexpensive 3D sensors such as Kinect are readily available to capture the rich 3D data during peoples entertainment or even in video conferencing. This workshop focuses on large scale 3D data analysis algorithms, methods and solutions. It is expected to demonstrate the state-of-the-arts in the convergence of 3D sensor technology, 3D computer vision, 3D visualization and 3D applications. This workshop will cover major aspects of big data vision and will be the venue for papers to highlight the recent advanced research from academic and industry labs through the connection of big data in 3D computer vision. This workshop aims to foster research efforts related, but not restricted, to following topics: Object description, detection, and recognition on large scale point cloud data 3D scene understanding, object-based representation and segmentation, Matching and registration across point cloud data of various sensing Navigation, localization, SLAM and semantic mapping 3D motion analysis methods Structure from motion and multi-view stereo techniques towards large scale environments Benchmark 'Big' 3D datasets 3D tracking and reconstruction from live video Indexing, searching and alignment of large-scale 3D data Content-based 3D retrieval and recognition 3D mesh, texture, point, and volume-based representation, 3D scene browsing on mobile devices, 3D electronic-map 3D motion animation, Augmented reality and mixing of virtual and real worlds, augmented reality in street view, web-based 3D map applications. Authors are invited to submit a full paper (two-column format, 6 - 8 pages) according to the guidelines available on the conference website at http://www.iccv2013.org. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop program committee in a double blind manner. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. In submitting a manuscript to this workshop, the authors acknowledge that no paper substantially similar in content has been submitted to another conference or workshop during the review period. Accepted papers must be registered and presented; otherwise they will not be included in the IEEE Xplore Library. Visas: ------------------------------ - Everyone needs a visa to Australia except Australians and New Zealanders. - People can get a letter of invitation once registration is done. - 6 weeks is the recommended time for obtaining a visa. - This leaves a very short turnaround after the final decision date on October 7; you may wish to schedule the final decision date earlier. Important Dates: ------------------------------- * Full paper (6 - 8 pages) submission: 7 Sep 2013 * Notification of acceptance: 7 Oct 2013 * Camera-ready paper: 13 Oct 2013 * Workshop date: 8 Dec 2013 General Chairs: -------------------------- * Jian Zhang, University of Technology, Sydney; National ICT Australia, Australia * Mohammed Bennamoun, University of Western Australia, Australia * Dan Schonfeld, University of Illinois, USA * Zhengyou Zhang, Microsoft Research USA Program Chairs -------------------------- * Fatih Porikli, Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL), Cambridge, USA * Dong Xu, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore * Hongdong Li, Australian National University, Australia * Lixin Fan, Nokia Research Centre, Finland Local Chairs -------------------------- * Qiang Wu, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia * Richard Xu, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Program Committee: --------------------------------- * Riad Hammoud, BAE Systems, USA * James Coggins, BAE Systems, USA * Lifeng Sun, Tsinghua University, China * Mathieu Salzmann, National ICT Australia, Australia * Ramakrishna Kakarala, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore * Yihong Wu, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China * Mohamed Daoudi, TELECOM Lille1, France * Ferdous Sohel, The University of Western Australia, Australia * Xiangjian He, University of Technology, Sydney Australia * Amar Mitiche, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), Canada * Abdenour Hadid, University of Oulu, Finland * Zicheng Liu, Microsoft Research USA * Boubakeur Boufama, University of Windsor, Canada * Raquel Urtasun, Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC), USA * Qiang Wu, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia * Anuj Srivastava, Florida State University, USA * Ramakrishna Kakarala, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore * Vincent Leptit, Ecole Polytechnique F้d้rale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland * Bastian Leibe, RWTH Aachen University, Germany For questions, please contact Jian.Zhang AT uts.edu.au.
