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

Please feel free to forward this announcement to your colleagues and
associates who could be interested in it.

********************* Statement concerning LLMs *********************

Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we
would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text
generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) are prohibited, unless
the produced text is used within the experimental part of the work.

*********************************************************************

Many real world problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and
other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks. These problems
are frequently characterized by non-convex, non-differentiable,
discontinuous, noisy or dynamic objective functions and constraints
which ask for adequate computational methods.

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate the communication between
researchers working on different fields of optimization and
practitioners who need reliable and efficient computational optimization
methods.

We invite original contributions related to both theoretical and
practical aspects of optimization methods.

Topics

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

+    combinatorial and continuous global optimization
+    unconstrained and constrained optimization
+    multiobjective and robust optimization
+    optimization in dynamic and/or noisy environments
+    optimization on graphs
+    large-scale optimization, in parallel and distributed computational
environments
+    meta-heuristics for optimization, nature-inspired approaches and
any other derivative-free methods
+    exact/heuristic hybrid methods, involving natural computing
techniques and other global and local optimization methods
+    numerical and heuristic methods for modeling

The applications of interest are included in the list below, but are not
limited to:

+    classical operational research problems (knapsack, traveling
salesman, etc)
+    computational biology and distance geometry
+    data mining and knowledge discovery
+    human motion simulations; crowd simulations
+    industrial applications
+    optimization in statistics, econometrics, finance, physics,
chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering
+    environment modeling and optimization

Best Paper Award

The best WCO'23 paper will be awarded during the social dinner of
FedCSIS 2023.

The best paper will be selected by WCO'23 co-Chairs by taking into
consideration the scores suggested by the reviewers, as well as the
quality of the given oral presentation.
