CALL FOR PAPERS
________________
The First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis for Computer Vision (PIES-CV) will engage experts and researchers on the synthesis of photorealistic images and virtual environments, particularly in the form of public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures, for computer vision (CV) research. Such public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures will enable researchers to better investigate how photorealism affects CV algorithms and approaches. Photorealistic image and environment synthesis can benefit multiple research areas in addition to CV, such as machine learning, robotics, human perception, multimedia systems, and mixed reality.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
● 360° image/video capture and playback
● Automated/semi-automated reconstruction
● Computer vision algorithms based on photorealistic data
● Environment capture/scanning
● Evaluations of photorealistic images and environments
● High-fidelity mesh representations
● Image/video capture and playback
● Machine learning models based on photorealistic data
● Manipulation and interaction with synthetic objects
● Point cloud representations
● Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
________________
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
________________
Full paper submissions should propose comprehensive and well-validated solutions, and adhere to the guidelines of standard WACV 2023 submissions (max 8 pages + references). Accepted full papers will be published under the WACV 2023 workshop proceedings and will be included in IEEE Xplore.
All submissions should be compiled for double-blind review and adopt the standard WACV 2023 template. An Overleaf Toolkit can be found at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/wacv-2023-author-kit-template/sthdnkfzqvtf
Submissions will be via Microsoft Research Conference Management Tool: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/PIESCV2023/

Springer-Scopus ISPR’2023 Call for paper
October 18th, 2022 Daniela Lopez de Luise It is planned to publish the proceedings with Springer in their Communications in Computer and Information Science series CCIS , which is abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings.
As in the past edition, we plan to organize several journal special issues with high quality journals.
first-_CFP_ISPR2023.pdfConnected Vehicles and Autonomous Driving Workshop
October 18th, 2022 Daniela Lopez de Luise We welcome the submission of technical papers describing significant and original research on all aspects of the theory and practice of autonomous and connected vehicles. The workshop along with the special session will serve as a forum to exchange ideas, present new results, and provide future visions on these topics:
* Technology concerning the breadth and depth of Connected and Autonomous vehicles (CAVs) (Control, localization, safe navigation, ADAS)
* Collaborative, cooperative control and planning of CAVs
* Communication protocols and technologies for CAVs
* Human factors and human machine interfaces for CAVs
* CAV Enabled Smart Cities and infrastructure Applications, ethical and technical requirements, security and privacy aspects
* 5G Technologies and Applications for CV and AVs
* Vehicle to Everything (V2X) – Infrastructure (I), Pedestrian (P), Network (N), and Vehicle (V)
* Sensor calibration, information processing and fusion techniques for autonomous vehicles
* SIL/HIL//VIL platforms for both connected and autonomous vehicles.
* Simulations and Experimental Demonstrations in Testbeds – CAVs.
We highly encourage authors to make their source code (if any) publicly available after their papers are accepted. The link can be provided in the camera-ready version.
The workshop will also include a special session on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) this year. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is an amalgamation of cutting-edge technologies and communication used in traffic control and management systems to improve the sustainability, effectiveness, and safety of transportation networks. It is an innovative facility that aims to provide information prior to road users, enhancing drivers’ experiences and making safer, coordinated and 'smart' use of transport networks. ITS has diverse applications that improve many road traffic issues, including shortening travel times by delivering real-time information on traffic management.
The tentative dates are below. We may slightly move the dates to account for conflicts with other upcoming relevant conferences.
* Paper submission: 10th November 2022
* Notification of paper acceptance: 10th December 2022
* Camera-ready paper submission: 20th December 2022
* Workshop date: 04 January 2023
All deadlines are at the end of the day specified, anywhere on Earth (UTC-12).
== In-Person Workshop ==
We are planning for the conference to be held in person in Bengaluru, India. While virtual interactions are a reasonable substitute when used appropriately, they still lack key facets and benefits that in-person interactions offer.
