+ CVAUI2024@ICPR2024 ++

The 6th Workshop on Computer Vision for Analysis of Underwater Imagery

CVAUI 2024 Virtual Workshop, December 1, 2024

to be held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on
Pattern Recognition 2024 (ICPR 2024), Kolkata, India and online
(December 1-5, 2024)


++ CALLS FOR PAPERS ++

We invite submissions to CVAUI 2024 from all areas of computer vision
and image analysis relevant for, or applied to, underwater
imagery. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    robust vision in challenging conditions

    underwater image formation models

    underwater image restoration or enhancement

    physical models of reflectance and light transport, including
    multi-spectral or hyperspectral

    underwater scene understanding

    classification, detection, segmentation, tracking

    (autonomous) visual underwater navigation and mapping by robots

    monitoring and characterization of marine life (including fisheries research)

    automatic video annotation and summarization

    context-aware machine learning and image understanding

    training data, benchmarks and synthetic data

    (inverse) rendering and underwater scene representations

    underwater calibration and parameter estimation ( e.g., of
    cameras, lights, or media)

++ Best Paper Award ++

The best paper will be awarded a prize of $500.
