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!
