3rd ed. CV4Metaverse at ECCV 2024

July 10th, 2024 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Call for Papers
3rd edition of Computer Vision For Metaverse (CV4Metaverse)
held at ECCV 2024 (29 September 2024, Milan, Italy)
In the growing fields of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and the Metaverse, Computer Vision (CV) becomes a fundamental tool to support applications and better understand people, objects, and the world, seamlessly merging digital and physical worlds. Meanwhile, Natural Language Processing is crucial for understanding human language. Nowadays, Large Language Models (LLMs) enable human-like conversations, enhancing human-machine interactions, and Large Language-Vision Models (LLVMs) improve visual data comprehension. CV, in conjunction with LLMs and LLVMs, can significantly boost the development of AR, VR, and Metaverse applications, enabling hands-free navigation, voice commands, and immersive avatar communication.
Therefore, the third edition of the CV4Metaverse workshop aims at integrating both pure computer vision and language-based techniques to contribute to the advancement of the field. The areas of interest touch upon, but are not confined to, the following subjects:
  • Scene Understanding:
    • Methods, algorithms, and systems for scene understanding to enable environmental interaction use cases in 3D scenes.
    • Modeling the virtual/augmented environment (depth estimation, 3D reconstruction, object detection and tracking, multimedia understanding, etc).
  • Metaverse Applications:
    • Different kinds of applications using Machine Learning techniques to help the Metaverse users.
    • New datasets in the metaverse area, which can foster the research areas related to it.
  • Cross-Modal Applications:
    • Using other types of data like textual data in facilitating or creating new applications in 3D scenes or metaverse areas.
Important dates:
Workshop paper submission deadline
July 19, 2024
Extended abstract submission deadline
July 19, 2024
Technical reports submission deadline

Special Issue on “Trust through eXplAInability (XAI), Robustness and Verification of Autonomous Systems”

July 10th, 2024 Daniela Lopez de Luise
We are pleased to announce an extension to the call for papers for the Special Issue entitled “Trust through eXplAInability (XAI), Robustness and Verification of Autonomous Systems” of the IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation journal (IF 1.4, CS 4.1).

Submission deadline: Thursday, 1 August 2024
Expected Publication Month: March 2025
The large success of AI based solutions for autonomous systems applications has strongly impacted people’s minds to get prepared and ready for the use of these systems in our daily life.
Indeed, the booming development of machine learning techniques and their embeddings in suitable, small size computation hardware has made some unrealistic applications of autonomous systems just few years back the reality of today. To effectively adopt those intelligent autonomous systems solutions, the end users need to feel safe in engaging with those machines through the level of trust, under different conditions of operations, they have in the outputs of those solutions.
Interpreting the autonomous systems, and more specifically, autonomous vehicles’ decisions through the explainability of the machine learning techniques composing their solutions is key. The other way to secure the adoption of those techniques onboard autonomous vehicles is to go through rigorous model verification and robustness processes including dealing with anomalies and adversarial attacks.
The focus of this Special Issue is on modern XAI, Robustness and Verification of AI based autonomous vehicles’ decision making in terms of planning, navigation and guidance. Quantum software stacks and libraries facilitate the link from a high-level description of algorithms to a low-level implementation with quantum gates, for solving concrete problems and applications expected to demonstrate quantum advantage.
Topics for this call for papers include but not restricted to:
  • XAI for autonomous vehicle planning and guidance
  • Validation and Verification (V&V) of AI based solution for autonomous vehicle navigation
  • Pruning of deep learning solutions for autonomous vehicles application
  • Embedding of safe deep learning solutions for autonomous vehicles
  • Robustness of the AI based autonomous vehicle’s navigation and guidance through anomaly detection
  • Robustness of the AI based autonomous vehicle’s navigation and guidance through adversarial attacks
