IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to COVID-19 outbreak IPCV2020 is going 100% ONLINE

As an online workshop, we are going to follow the online format as the main conference:

• All papers, oral or poster, will have a pre-recorded video presentation, made available together with the paper to the attendees about a week before the workshop day.
• Every workshop will have some scheduled individual interaction time during the workshop day.

ECCV Workshop on Imbalance Problems in Computer Vision (IPCV)

28 August 2020 https://sites.google.com/view/ipcv2020/

DATES: Paper submission: 7 July 2020

Notification: 28 July 2020

Camera ready: 7 August 2020

Workshop: 28 August 2020

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Performance of learning-based methods is adversely affected by imbalance problems at various levels, including the input, intermediate or mid-level stages of the processing or the objectives to be optimized in a multi-task setting. Currently, researchers tend to address these challenges in their particular context with problem-specific solutions and with limited awareness of the solutions proposed for similar challenges in other computer vision problems.

Imbalance problems can arise in  almost all computer vision problems and therefore, the workshop is highly relevant and interesting for a broad community. A recent, comprehensive review paper on imbalance problems in object detection (IEEE TPAMI, 2020; preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.00169)  cites over 200 papers which were written by 655 unique authors. We interpret these numbers (which are specific to just one computer vision task, namely, object detection) as strong indicators of interest in imbalance problems.

We invite contributions for (i) the dissemination of approaches developed in individual problems, as well as (ii) discussing commonalities between these approaches for developing better and more general solutions for addressing imbalance problems in computer vision.
