The submission deadline to TRICKY@ECCV24 has been moved to July 26th

We are happy to announce that the first “Transparent & Reflective objects In the wild Challenges” workshop will be held in conjunction with ECCV24

The 2nd edition of the Transparent & Reflective objects In the wild Challenges (TRICKY) workshop will discuss object classification, detection, tracking, reconstruction, depth and pose estimation from imaging data for such tricky objects to highlight and identify the related challenges in these tasks and advance the state of the art. A major focus will be put on the applicability of methods in unconstrained scenarios, such as natural scene arrangement, mix of Lambertian and non-Lambertian objects, or changing illumination. This will be achieved with a depth estimation challenge as well 5 invited talks. The workshop will also include 6 spotlight talks and up to 12 posters of contributed works to encourage the discussion of novel research directions.

*****************************
TOPICS
*****************************
The workshop focusing on the following tasks (but is not limited to) applied to transparent or reflective objects:
* Object classification
* Object detection
* Object tracking
* Object reconstruction
* Depth estimation
* Pose estimation

*****************************
IMPORTANT DATES:
*****************************

Submission – July 26th 2024 11:59PM AoE
Author Notification – August 9th 2024 11:59PM AoE
Camera ready – August 15th 2024 11:59PM AoE
Workshop: September 29th 2024, afternoon session

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
*****************************

We invite submission of 14 page (following the ECCV 2024 template and excluding references) or extended abstracts (to not be considered a publication in terms of double submission policies, they should be shorter than the equivalent of 4 pages in CVPR template format) on topics related to transparent and reflective object understanding. Reviewing of abstract submissions will be double-blind. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss and open new directions of research for transparent and reflective objects understanding . The accepted full papers will be published as part of the official ECCV 2024 workshop proceedings.

As part of the workshop schedule, 6 submitted papers will be selected for a spotlight presentation as contributed talks, and up to 20 posters will be presented during the poster session. The goal is to encourage exploration and discussion of promising alternative methods whether or not they yet outperform standard approaches.

Topic of interest are object classification, detection, tracking, reconstruction, depth and pose estimation from imaging data for non-Lambertian objects (transparent and specular).

Ethics Press invites proposals for scholarly books and edited collections in Humanities and Social Sciences. We will also consider submissions in related fields including Life Sciences and Health Sciences. We specialise in books for the academic market. You can download a Book Proposal Form, and see our Notes of Guidance for Authors here.

All proposals are independently reviewed. To review a proposal, we will require a completed proposal form, a sample of the proposed book, and a cv. If you are unsure whether a proposal is likely to be selected for review, you are welcome to send a summary or abstract first.

Coverage includes:

• global challenges, such as war and conflict, human rights, sustainability and climate change, food security, poverty, and technology/AI. Our portfolio on Artificial Intelligence has proved popular with authors and customers – you can see our AI books here
• human rights and equality, including indigenous studies and land rights, and race and gender issues
• arts, humanities and social science topics including history, society and culture, community, and language and literature
• applied fields, such as bioethics, education, the built environment, data ethics, and all areas of business, economics, finance, and decision making
• politics and government, both national and regional
• legal and medical issues, including healthcare, psychology, counselling and childhood studies. We are looking to expand our current portfolio in medicine and medical ethics
• philosophical issues such as religion and faith, philosophy, and ethics and morality
• non-technical topics in the fields of health sciences and life sciences

Our books are all published in English, initially in academic hardback format. We normally offer a paperback version following initial release in hardback. The books we select range from 50,000 words to around 150,000 words. We make no charges to publish.

We will consider adapted Doctoral Theses, and Edited Collections, including adaptations from conferences and symposia. You can find information on Edited Collections, and any Calls for Chapters, on our website.

If you are interested in writing for us, please take a few minutes to look at our website. You can find information including detailed guidelines for authors, our royalty policies, and our current and forthcoming book titles in our Bookshop. 

Founded in 1993, Ethics Press works with authors, researchers, booksellers, and librarians from all over the world. With more than 100 new titles due to publish in 2024, we aim to build Ethics Press into the world’s leading specialist academic publisher in its field.

We look forward to hearing from you.

With best wishes

The 22nd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing
IEEE PICom 2024
http://cyber-science.org/2024/picom/
2024 IEEE CyberSciTech / PICom / DASC / CBDCom Co-located Conferences (In-Presence/Virtual)
5-8 November 2024 – Boracay Island, Malay, Philippines

=====================IMPORTANT DATES=============================
Workshop/SS Proposal Due: 30 Jun 2024
Paper Submission: 20 Jul 2024 (extended)
WS/SS Paper Submission 31 Jul 2024 (extended)
Acceptance Notification: 25 Aug 2024

=====================INTRODUCTION=============================
Over the last fifty years, computational intelligence has evolved from artificial intelligence, nature-inspired computing,
and social-oriented technology to cyber-physical integrated ubiquitous intelligence towards Pervasive Intelligence (PI).
The IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing is intended to cover all kinds of these
intelligent paradigms as well as their applications in various pervasive computing domains. PICom 2024 is the
conference on Pervasive Intelligence and Computing, previously held as PCC (Las Vegas, USA, 2003 and 2004), PSC
(Las Vegas, USA, 2005), PCAC (Vienna, Austria, 2006, and Niagara Falls, Canada, 2007), IPC-2007 (Jeju, Korea,
December 2007), IPC-2008 (Sydney, Australia, December 2008), and since 2009 as the name PICom. It aims to bring
together computer scientists and engineers, providing a platform for vibrant discussions and exchanges on
experimental and theoretical results, ongoing work, cutting-edge designs, and innovative test-environments or testbeds,
