CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on Advances in Domain Adaptation for Computer Vision

Aim and Scope: 

In daily routines, humans, not only learn and apply knowledge for
visual tasks but also have intrinsic abilities to transfer knowledge
between related vision tasks. For example, if a new vision task is
relevant to any previous learning, it is possible to transfer the
learned knowledge for handling the new vision task. In developing new
computer vision algorithms, it is desired to utilize these
capabilities to make the algorithms adaptable. Generally, traditional
computer vision methods do not adapt to a new task and have to learn
the new task from the beginning. These methods do not consider that
the two visual tasks may be related and the knowledge gained in one
may be applied to learn the other one efficiently in lesser
time. Domain adaptation for computer vision is the area of research,
which attempts to mimic this human behavior by transferring the
knowledge learned in one or more source domains and use it for
learning the related visual processing task in the target
domain. Recent advances in domain adaptation, particularly in
cotraining, transfer learning, and online learning have benefited
computer vision research significantly. For example, learning from
high-resolution source domain images and transferring the knowledge to
learning low-resolution target domain information. This special issue
will focus on the recent advances in domain adaptation for different
computer vision tasks.


 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

·       Domain adaptation for machine learning frameworks for learning deep representations 

·       Domain adaptation for face detection/recognition and tracking

·       Domain adaptation for object detection/ recognition and tracking

·       Domain adaptation and hybrid models for real-time computer vision tasks

·       Domain adaptation for human pose detection/recognition and estimation 

·       Domain adaptation for event/action detection and recognition

·       Domain adaptation for few-shot learning

·       Domain adaptation for deep neural network optimization
