WACV 2023 – First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis for Computer Vision (PIES-CV)

________________

 

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)

Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and
complexity. A single organization or industry processes more than a few
million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We
live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyze and process data more
efficiently where the
Data analytics can reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible
relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. The
data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every
activity in our life. Thus, studying data and its underlying structure,
dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies are a
never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are
enormous; they do not sufficiently solve the data processing
requirements.

Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information
pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop
models and systems to analyse the voluminous datasets. Analysing the
impact of data leads to application domains on decisions that have a
systematic influence. Knowledge generated from the data analysis can
enable the production of critical information for several domains.

Hence this conference reviews and discusses the recent trends,
opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted
organizations to create successful business and technology strategies
and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights
the current open research directions of data analytics that require
further consideration/
The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to

Data applications in various domains and activities
Data in cloud
Real-world data processing
Data inaccuracy and reliability issues
Data Ecosystem
Business Analytics
New data analytics techniques
Physical and management challenges
Privacy and Security
Crowdsourcing and Sensing
Data modelling
Deep learning techniques

Call for Tutorial Proposals

CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS – FG 2023

We invite proposals for tutorials to be organized in conjunction with
the 2023 IEEE Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG
2023: https://hal.cse.msu.edu/fg2023/) in Waikoloa, Hawaii. The
tutorials should complement and enhance the scientific program of FG
2023 by providing authoritative and compreh7ensive overviews of growing
themes that are of sufficient relevance with respect to the
state-of-the-art and the conference topics.

Accepted tutorials will be held on either 4 January or 5 January 2023 in
the same venue as the FG 2023 main conference, at the Waikoloa Beach
Marriott Resort, Hawaii, USA.
We solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the FG community.
Interdisciplinary topics that could attract a significant cross-section
of the community are highly encouraged. We particularly welcome
tutorials which address advances in emerging areas not previously
covered in an FG related tutorial. Proposals should be submitted by 3
October 2022. Notifications will be circulated on 10 October 2022.

*** TUTORIAL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION ***

Tutorial proposals should be submitted through CMT and will be reviewed
and evaluated by the workshop and tutorial co-chairs, Tae-Kyun Kim,
Vitomir Štruc, and Lijun Yin. The CMT submission website is available
from: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FGWT2023
A tutorial proposal should include the following information to
facilitate the decision process:

• Title
• Proposer’s contact information and short CV
• Names of any additional lecturers and short CV
• Tutorial description and description of relevance to the FG community
and an evaluation plan
• References and experience of the instructors with respect to the
proposed tutorial topic
• Planned length of the tutorial
• List of relevant tutorials recently presented in other conferences
• Requirements (e.g., facilities, internet access, etc.),
• Other useful information (e.g., estimated attendance, slides/notes
available, etc.).

The main conference will provide rooms, equipment, and coffee breaks for
the tutorials.

For your reference, the titles of the three tutorials held in
conjunction with the previous FG conferences were as follows:

•    Multi-view Face Representation
•    Remote Physiological Measurement from Images and Videos
•    From Deep Unsupervised to Supervised Models for Face Analysis
•    Statistical Methods for Affective Computing

*** Review process ***
Tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their estimated
benefit for the community and their fit within the tutorials program as
a whole. Factors to be considered include relevance, timeliness,
importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half
or full day format; past experience and qualifications of the
instructors. Selection will also be based on the overall distribution of
topics, expected attendance, and specialties of the intended audiences.
