NICOGRAPH has a quarter-century history. Its foundation can be traced back to
1985. The time-honored annual conferences have been organized by the
Society for Art and Science since 2000, which aim at promoting the research
combining science and art in computer graphics and related fields as well
as to advance the development of interactive media art. In 2002, the first
international conference NICOGRAPH International rose out of the domestic
series, and since then NICOGRAPH international conference has been
organized annually.

Call for participants – Robotic Vision Scene Understanding Challenge – CVPR2023

April 19th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Call for Participants – Robotic Vision Scene Understanding Challenge – CVPR 2023
===================================================================

This is a reminder e-mail for the Robotic Vision Scene Understanding (RVSU) challenge, running as part of the 4th Embodied AI Workshop (EAI4) at the 2023 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2023)!
Evaluation servers are now open on EvalAI, accepting results from the next generation of active scene understanding systems.
Top two performing teams to receive GPU prizes and have their work highlighted during the workshop.
With just over a month left on the challenge, there is still time to produce some amazing work
Details of the challenge including important links, prize information and current known dates are outlined below.
Overview
========

The CVPR2023 Embodied AI Workshop of our Robotic Vision Scene Understanding Challenge evaluates how well a robotic vision system can understand the semantic and geometric aspects of environments. The challenge is performed in simulation and consists of two distinct tasks: Object-based Semantic SLAM, and Scene Change Detection.

  1. Semantic SLAM: Participants use a robot to traverse around environments, building up an object-based semantic map from the robot’s RGBD sensor observations and odomtry measurements.
  2. Scene change detection (SCD): Participants use a robot to traverse through an environment scene, building up a semantic understanding of the scene. Then the robot is moved to a new start position in the same environment, but with different conditions. Along with a possible change from day to night, the new scene has a number objects added and / or removed. Participants must produce an object-based semantic map describing the changes between the two scenes.

Each task has two difficulty levels where the agent is supplied with either ground-truth or noisy pose data.

The challenge is run using the BenchBot framework on top of NVIDIA's Isaac Simulator to render BenchBot Environments for Active Robotics (BEAR). Participants need to program robotic agents with an OpenAI Gym-style API to actively explore these environments and solve the given tasks.
Challenge participants will be rated on their performance, weighted by the difficulty of the challenge they attempt (hardest being SCD with active control and dead-reckoning data)
Prizes
=====
1 RTX A6000 and up to 5 Jetson Nanos (1 for each member) for each of the top 2 winning teams.

Important Dates
=============

  • March 15th – Challenge launch
  • May – Submissions due
  • June 19th – CVPR 2023 Embodied AI workshop
