The submission deadline to TRICKY@ECCV24 is now very close: 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

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).

Just a reminder that although the second edition of the Seeing and Acting Workshop (SAW) is approaching fast, you only have one week to register and send your abstract!!

>>PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER AND SEND YOUR ABSTRACT!!<<

SAW will take place at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra, September 26-28, 2024 in Coimbra, Portugal.

For the second edition of SAW, we have, once again, an exciting and stimulating group of Invited Speakers:

·  Chris Baker, National Institute of Mental Health, USA

·  Paolo Bartolomeo, Paris Brain Institute, France

·  Marlene Behrmann, University of Pittsburgh, USA

·  Jody Culham, Western University, Canada

·  Roland Fleming, Giessen University, Germany

·  Liuba Papeo, Institute of Cognitive Sciences Marc Jeannerod, France

·  Hans Op de Beeck, KU Leuven, Belgium

The goal of SAW is to provide a forum for cognitive science/neuroscience researchers from a range of perspectives who are interested in Perception and Action, broadly construed, to come together to discuss their research and develop new directions and collaborations. The format of the workshop is intended to encourage extensive discussion among participants. To this end, we have scheduled only a small number of invited speakers, and there are no concurrent talks. In addition to the individual seminars, there will be a poster session for students, postdocs and other researchers to present their work.

Abstract submission for posters closes on July 31, 2024. The five best abstracts whose first author is a student or postdoc will receive a 200 euro award sponsored by ANT Neuro.

Registration for the workshop will be open in a couple of weeks. To register, submit a poster abstract, or for more information, please visit: https://www.uc.pt/cogbooster/saw/2024/

Please note that there are a limited number of places (~120), which will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. To secure your place, please register as soon as possible. Note that you can register now and submit an abstract later (but before the July 31, 2024 deadline).

SAW is powered by the ERA Chair CogBooster, and by the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra, Portugal.
