Transparent & Reflective objects In the wild Challenges Call for Papers

Transparent & Reflective objects In the wild Challenges
 ICCV23 Workshop
Website: https://sites.google.com/view/iccv23trickyworkshop

We are happy to announce that the first "Transparent & Reflective objects In the wild Challenges" workshop will be held in conjunction with ICCV23

From industry to the home, vision systems are expected to provide
relevant information for every object they may encounter in their
environment. Vision-based object understanding in particular has seen
significant progress toward this goal as demonstrated, for example, by
recent results in challenges such as the COCO, and its follow-up LVIS
challenge, or the Benchmark for 6D Object Pose Estimation.

Transparent, reflective and, generally speaking, non-lambertian
objects still present major challenges for methods as well as RGB and
depth sensors. Color images become dependent on the viewpoint and
background. Similarly, readings from depth cameras are unreliable
whether they are based on stereo matching, time-of-flight or
structured light. The unpredictable and unreliable data is problematic
at two different levels. On one hand, such objects will not reliably
be understood but their presence in the scene degrades the
understanding of other objects in the scene through reflections and
light path deformation.

The workshop on Transparent & Reflective objects In the wild
Challenges (TRICKY) will discuss object classification, detection,
tracking, reconstruction, depth and pose estimation from imaging data
for such tricky objects with the aim of advancing the state-of-the-art
and fostering novel research directions. A major focus will be put on
the applicability of methods in unconstrained scenarios.

Invited speakers include Dr Michael Suppa, Dr Arsalan Mousavian,
Prof. David Held, Prof. Jeffrey Ichnowski, and Prof. Manmohan
Chandraker.

The workshop focusing on the following tasks (but is not limited to)
applied to transparent or reflective objects:
* Object classification
* Object detection
* Object tracking

IMPORTANT DATES:
*****************************

Submission - July 5th 11:59PM Pacific Time
Author Notification - July 26th 11:59PM Pacific Time
Camera ready - August 2nd 11:59PM Pacific Time

*****************************
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
*****************************

We invite submission of 4 page (excluding references) extended
abstracts (following the ICCV 2023 template) on topics related to
transparent and reflective object understanding. Reviewing of abstract
submissions will be double-blind. The purpose of this workshop is not
to be a venue for publication but rather a place to discuss and open
new directions of research for transparent and reflective objects
understanding, as well as gather a community of people interested in
the field. The workshop proceedings will not appear in the official
ICCV 2023 workshop proceedings. Submissions of work which has been
previously published, including papers accepted to the main ICCV 2023
conference are allowed. Up to 6 submitted work will be presented as
spotlight presentations (10 min.), otherwise, they will be presented
as posters.

Submission can be sent at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=trickyiccv23
