CALL FOR PAPERS

________________

The First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis for Computer Vision (PIES-CV) will engage experts and researchers on the synthesis of photorealistic images and virtual environments, particularly in the form of public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures, for computer vision (CV) research. Such public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures will enable researchers to better investigate how photorealism affects CV algorithms and approaches. Photorealistic image and environment synthesis can benefit multiple research areas in addition to CV, such as machine learning, robotics, human perception, multimedia systems, and mixed reality.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

●            360° image/video capture and playback

●            Automated/semi-automated reconstruction

●            Computer vision algorithms based on photorealistic data

●            Environment capture/scanning

●            Evaluations of photorealistic images and environments

●            High-fidelity mesh representations

●            Image/video capture and playback

●            Machine learning models based on photorealistic data

●            Manipulation and interaction with synthetic objects

●            Point cloud representations

●            Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
