Urban Elements ReID Challenge Call for Papers

 We would like to invite you to take part in the 
Urban Elements ReID Challenge, 
organized as an official 
Grand Challenge at ICIP 2025 
(IEEE International Conference on Image Processing), which will take place in 
Anchorage, Alaska (14-17 September 2025).

This competition aims to advance the field of long-term video-based
re-identification of urban elements, with a focus on objects such as
trash bins, waste containers, and crosswalks. The task involves
recognizing these elements over time under significant variations in
lighting, weather, and occlusions, commonly encountered in real-world
urban environments.

Participants are invited to:

    Work on a novel and real-world ReID task
    Contribute to the development of smarter urban environments
    Submit a paper describing their approach and results (deadline: May 28, 2025)
    Present their work at ICIP 2025
