Creating and Updating Digital Twins for Enabling XR Applications (Special Session at IEEE AIxVR)

July 2nd, 2024 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Call for Papers: Creating and Updating Digital Twins for Enabling XR Applications

 

Special Session at IEEE AIxVR 2025

January 27-29, 2025, Lisbon, Portugal

 

Conference: https://aixvr.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/

Special session: https://didymos-xr.eu/news/creating-and-updating-digital-twins-for-enabling-xr-applications/

 

Digital twins of city spaces, landmarks or industrial environments are important enablers of VR and AR applications in domains such as city planning and maintenance, tourism, media, manufacturing and logistics. Creating high fidelity representations of the real world, and in particular keeping them up-to-date, is still a costly process. Leveraging data that can be captured at low cost, e.g. from vehicles driving through the space to be captured, from robots navigating in the environment, or from consumer media, could significantly reduce the costs and allow for the detection of changes and more frequent updates of digital twins. AI-based methods for 3D reconstruction and scene understanding are enablers for this process.

 

Topics of interest for this Special Session include, but are not limited to:

 

·         3D reconstruction from “in the wild data”

·         Improvement of 2D/3D data representation (e.g., superresolution) in order to update the quality of the resulting digital twin

·         Multimedia analysis for understanding scene semantics and dynamicity

·         Multimodal datasets for digital twin creation and scene understanding

·         Generative AI and foundation models for digital twin creation and/or synthetic data generation

·         Combining synthetic and real data for improving scene understanding

·         Optimized multimedia content analysis for real-time and low-latency XR applications

·         Human interfacing and interaction optimization

·         Privacy and security aspects and mitigations for captured content used for digital twin creation/update

 

The submissions to this session can be:

 

·         Long papers describing novel methods or their adaptation to specific applications or

·         Short papers describing emerging work or open challenges.

 

The review process and the paper lengths and formatting follows the rules of the main conference. The papers will be published in the main conference proceedings, published by IEEE.

 

Submission is done via the main conference submission system (link to be announced, see https://aixvr.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/).

 

Authors are expected to present their papers on-site at AIxVR.

 

Important dates:

·         Paper submission: September 10, 2024

·         Conference: January 27-29, 2025

 

Session organisers:

·         Werner Bailer, JOANNEUM RESEARCH, Austria

·         Gerasimos Arvanitis, University of Patras, Greece

·         Imad H. Ehajj, American University of Beirut, Lebanon

·         Panos K. Papadopoulos, CERTH, Greece

·         Tariqul Islam, DigitalTwin Technology, Germany
