SI “Advanced Computer Vision Techniques for Autonomous Driving”

March 10th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Autonomous driving (AD) refers to self-driving vehicles or any transport system moves without humans. Automotive systems are equipped with cameras and sensors to cover all the fields of view and range. Further, sensor architecture in AD includes multiple sets of cameras, radars, and LIDARs, as well as GPS-GNSS for absolute localization and inertial measurement units that provide a 3D pose of the vehicle in space. Representation of the environment state or scene understanding is utilized by a decision-making system to produce the final driving policy, which can be achieved by a combination of several perception or computer vision tasks such as semantic segmentation, motion estimation, depth estimation, and soiling detection. Computer vision is as a key technique in AD technologies. Thus, there is a need to explore new and emerging trends in computer vision for autonomous driving. This Special Issue aims to address the most up-to-date impacts of computer vision on progress autonomous driving research. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • New trends on vision and sensors for autonomous driving;
  • Vision‐based traffic flow analysis and smart vehicle technologies;
  • Vehicle trajectory prediction in autonomous driving;
  • Vehicle classification and semantic segmentation;
  • Traffic sign detection, recognition, and scene understanding;
  • Detection, tracking, learning, and predicting on-road pedestrian behavior;
  • Object detection and tracking on Fisheye cameras for autonomous driving;
  • Unsupervised, weakly-supervised, and reinforcement deep.

The International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference is a biennial forum that happens regularly since 1985, sponsored by the Brazilian Microwave and Optoelectronics Society (SBMO) and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S). The event is organized by the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Federal University of Ceará (UFC), and Federal Institute of Ceará (IFCe). The conference goal is providing an international and interdisciplinary forum for sharing experience and discussing the state-of-the-art of the following but not limited topics: radio/microwave, photonic/optics/applied electromagnetics and so on.

Due to Covid-19 Pandemic situation, for the first time since its creation, IMOC 2021 was turned into an online virtual conference. The organizing committee will make use of an online platform that intends to give participants the feeling and experience as if they were in Fortaleza, by means of using a 3D platform.

As an online conference, it is highly recommended to stimulate the participation of students, researchers, professionals, and partners, by making a high-level conference possible at reduced costs, including different inscriptions categories.

As a potential opportunity to overcome physical distances, but to forge closer professional boundaries and to change professional experiences, in this conference there will be a whole day dedicated to workshops and industry demonstration, as well as activities such as Young Professionals and Women in Microwave.

Furthermore, papers properly presented in the conference will be published at the IEEEXplore and those papers high scored will be invited to submit an extended version to peer reviewed journals, such as IET MAP, JMOe, WPT and others.

To get in touch with novelties and updates about IMOC 2021, see more information on the conference website at https://imoc2021.com, available soon.

International Conference on Machine Learning ICML 2021 Workshop Proposal Submission Deadline is Coming Up

March 10th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise

ICML 2021 Call for Workshops

Friday, July 23, and Saturday, July 24, online

 

Following the ICML 2021 main conference, workshops will be held on Friday, July 23rd, and Saturday, July 24th. We invite researchers interested in chairing one of these workshops to submit proposals. Workshop organizers have several responsibilities, including coordinating workshop participation and content, publicizing and providing the program in a timely manner, and moderating the program throughout the workshop.

 

ICML also solicits proposals for affinity workshops. The format and aims of these workshops should be described by the workshop organizers, following, for instance, the template set out by similar workshops (WiML, Black in AI, LatinX in AI, Queer in AI, New in ML, {Dis}Ability in AI, Muslims in ML, Indigenous in AI),  at NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML (e.g., see https://icml.cc/virtual/2020/workshops). The affinity workshops are typically held during the main conference or the day before. Affinity workshop proposals should follow a similar format as regular workshop proposals (see below) and should be emailed directly to worksho…@icml.cc with the subject line “Affinity workshop: [name of workshop].” The deadline for affinity workshop proposals is Mar 05, 2021 11:59 PM AOE or .

Workshops

The goal of the workshops is to provide an informal forum for researchers to discuss emerging research questions and challenges. Workshops will last for one day, with morning and afternoon sessions and free time between the sessions for individual exchange. To encourage workshop variety, all workshops will be one-day workshops.

The workshops can be on any subject relevant to an appreciable fraction of the ICML community. Schedules should encourage lively debates, and topics should lean more towards exploring new ideas, open problems, and interdisciplinary areas, compared with the main conference. Workshops should encourage contributed content and reserve a significant portion of time for open discussion/panel discussion and posters. A diverse group of speakers is more likely to bring diverse and surprising viewpoints on a topic. As a result, we encourage workshop organizers to be cognizant of designing panels and speaker lists that are inclusive.

 

Below, we include the criteria by which workshop submissions will be evaluated:

  1. Fit for ICML (connections to rest of program and past workshops)
  2. Potential impact (promising topic)
  3. Novelty and originality (emerging topic)
  4. Quality of the abstract & clarity of purpose
  5. Confirmed invited speakers with sufficient coverage of the topic
  6. Organizers' relevant expertise (please avoid excessive self-promotion)
  7. Organizers & speakers diversity
  8. Room for contributed work (posters and contributed talks)
  9. Open discussion/panel

 

Submission Instructions

Workshops submissions will be made through CMT. Please follow the URL below and check the required format for the application well before the proposal deadline. You may submit and update your application online right up until this deadline.

Important dates for workshop submissions:

  • Workshop Application Deadline: Mar 05, 2021 11:59 PM AOE or
  • Workshop Notification: Apr 02, 2021

* AOE = Anywhere On Earth

 

Proposals should be submitted electronically at the following URL (please use the same email address that you use for ICML.cc):

https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICMLWORKSHOPS2021

The organizers of each accepted workshop can name four individuals per day of the workshop to receive complimentary workshop registrations. In the event the conference sells out, each workshop will be given a number of guaranteed registrations for the workshop contributors, so please let us know in the application how many registrations you anticipate you will need.

Proposals should be two pages long in single column A4 or letter format, with font size 11 or greater, excluding organizer contact details/CVs and bibliographic references.

Submission format

Proposals should clearly specify the following:

  • Workshop title
  • A brief description of the topics to be covered, and an explanation as to why the workshop will appeal to ICML audiences
  • A short description and rough timetable of the planned activities (talks, posters, panels)
  • List of invited speakers, specifying who is confirmed and who is unconfirmed.
  • A description of the history of the workshop (if it previously took place, then when/where)
  • Similar past and current events at ICML and NeurIPS in the last 1-2 years, even if not organized by the present workshop organizers. New workshops are welcome to build on prior workshops if a good case is made; completely original workshops are also welcome.
  • A brief description of how you plan to make the workshop interactive (e.g., pre-recorded videos vs. live sessions) and how you plan to engage potential attendees across the globe in vastly different time zones
  • A list of organizers with email addresses, web page URLs, pointers to Google Scholar or other similar citation service pages, a one-paragraph bio for each organizer, describing research expertise, and previous experience organizing scientific meetings
