Dear Researchers,

We are happy to announce the second edition of the “Map-based
Localization for Autonomous Driving” Workshop organized at
ICCV2021. In this workshop, we will discuss the importance of
map-based real-time localization for autonomous driving. We will focus
on the problem of map generation and how to keep the maps up-to-date
as well as which sensor technologies can be used.

The workshop will host a map-based visual re-localization challenge
based on our all-seasons and multi-weather 4Seasons dataset
(https://www.4seasons-dataset.com/).

We will have several talks from experts in the fields of autonomous
driving and robust localization.

* Topics *

The workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

 - Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

 - Localization and re-localization under challenging conditions where
 current methods fail (weather changes, day versus night, etc.)

 - Self-supervised/semi-supervised learning

 - Domain adaptation

 - Mapping


* Confirmed Speakers *

 - Wolfram Burgard (University of Freiburg)

 - Michael Milford (Queensland University of Technology)

 - Torsten Sattler (Czech Technical University)


* Call for Papers *

We invite researchers to submit original research papers in the area
of map-based localization.


* Submission guidelines *

Submitted papers must conform to the ICCV format and may not exceed 8
pages (excluding references)
(http://iccv2021.thecvf.com/node/4#submission-guidelines). All
submissions will be peer-reviewed (double-blind).


* Challenge *

The workshop will host a map-based visual re-localization challenge
based on our all-seasons and multi-weather 4Seasons dataset
(https://www.4seasons-dataset.com/). The winner of the challenge will
receive 1000 USD, and the second place will receive 500 USD.


* Sponsors *

We are happy to announce that our workshop will be sponsored by Kudan
(kudan.io) and Artisense (artisense.ai).
