Call for Extended Abstract

====================================================================

We invite submissions of 3 pages max, excluding references. Please submit via CMT (https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SUUE2021). The submission deadline is June 17th 2021 23:59 (CEST). We allow presenting previously published work. More information on the submission process can be found on the workshop website (https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html).

Overview

====================================================================

The vast majority of research in scene understanding is applied in urban and structured environments. Unfortunately, these methods often fail when used in unstructured environments with challenging lighting conditions and many natural structures in the scene.

These conditions require different model assumptions and robust algorithms.

The main objective of this workshop is to create a platform for researchers, from both academia and industry, to explore fundamental research and applications on scene understanding in unstructured environments. It aims to foster discussion and exchanges, ideally creating a long-term flourishing communication channel in the community.

The workshop will take place on September 28, 2021 as part of the DAGM German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) in Bonn, Germany. The conference will either be organized as a hybrid or virtual conference. We therefore invite the international research community to participate. The workshop also includes the Outdoor Semantic Segmentation Challenge on the novel TAS500 dataset of fine-grained annotations of outdoor driving scenes. Train and benchmark your semantic segmentation algorithms on these real world outdoor driving scenes. The challenge deadline is on August 15, 2021. The best submissions will be invited to present their solution as part of the workshop on September 28, 2021.

Topics

====================================================================

Topics include the following but not limited to

* Scene Understanding in Unstructured Environments

* Multimodal Learning

* Transfer Learning

* Applications in Field Robotics

Extended list is available on the workshop website (https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html).
