 ICIP 2025 Satellite Workshop: 

Bridging the Gap: Advanced Data Processing for Natural Disaster
Management Integrating Visual and Non-Visual Insights

 Call for Papers

Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and more intense. Our
ability to respond effectively to such events depends strongly, among
other things, on timely and accurate processing of diverse sources of
data, ranging from satellite imagery and camera-equipped drones to
in-situ sensor networks and weather models. Imagery data from
satellite and airborne platforms, alongside AI-based processing
methods, is crucial in disaster management. However, a significant gap
remains between visual data (like images and videos) and non-visual
data (such as meteorological data, smoke models, and social media
reports), and bridging this gap is key to enhancing disaster response
and decision-making. The Advanced Data Processing for Natural
Disaster Management - Integrating Visual and Non-Visual Insights
is designed to specifically address these challenges.

The workshop is planned as a satellite workshop of the 2025 IEEE
International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) that will take
place in Anchorage, Alaska, USA. IEEE ICIP 2025 - a flagship
conference of the IEEE Signal Processing Society - explores the
latest technical innovations in image and video processing and covers
cutting-edge topics involving computer vision.

We welcome potential authors to submit their contributions in the
following areas:

    Joint image/video processing and computational fluid dynamics for
           local weather modeling
    Modeling smoke propagation around fires constrained with visual
           information clues
    Fire nest detection through visual and robotic olfaction methods
           for smoke source localization
    Numerical flood simulation models constrained by satellite or drone imagery
    Joint analysis of social media posts and visual/in-situ information

While the focus is on forest fires and floods, other extreme events,
e.g., volcanos are also relevant.

This is an excellent chance to contribute groundbreaking research on
integrating visual and non-visual insights to enhance disaster
response strategies. Share your expertise and be part of the
conversation shaping the future of disaster management!
