AI4Space focuses on the role of AI, particularly computer vision and machine learning, in helping to solve technical challenges related to space, from autonomous spacecraft, space mining, debris monitoring and mitigation, to answering fundamental questions about the universe. The workshop will highlight the space capabilities that draw from and/or overlap significantly with vision and learning research, outline the unique difficulties presented by space applications to vision and learning, and discuss recent advances towards overcoming those obstacles.

Call for Papers:

We solicit papers for AI4Space. Papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of ECCV Workshops. Authors of accepted papers will also be invited to present at the workshop (in hybrid mode) at ECCV 2022, Tel-Aviv, late October 2022.

The general emphasis of AI4Space is vision and learning algorithms in off-Earth environments, including in the orbital region, surface and underground environments on other planetary bodies (e.g., the moon, Mars and asteroids), interplanetary space and solar system, and distant galaxies. Target application areas include autonomous spacecraft, space robotics, space traffic management, astronomy, astrobiology and cosmology. Emphasis is also placed on novel sensors and processing hardware for vision and learning in space, mitigating the challenges of the space environment towards vision and learning (e.g., solar radiation, extreme temperatures), and solving practical difficulties in vision and learning for space (e.g., lack of training data, unknown or partially known characteristics of operating environments).

A specific list of topics is as follows:
– Visual navigation for spacecraft operations
– Vision and learning for space robotics
– GPS-denied positioning on the moon and Mars
– Space debris monitoring and mitigation
– Vision and learning for astronomy, astrobiology and cosmology
– Novel sensors for space applications
– Processing hardware for vision and learning in space
– Mitigating challenges of the space environment to vision and learning
– Datasets, transfer learning and domain gap for space problems

Paper deadline:

11:59pm 17 June 2022 (tentative)

Final Submission Deadline May 9, 2022

Call for Papers 

Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished research papers in the broad field of content-based multimedia indexing and applications. We wish to highlight significant contributions addressing the main problem of search and retrieval but also the related and equally important issues of multimedia content management, user interaction, large-scale search, learning in retrieval, social media indexing and retrieval.

We are also calling for papers addressing the following special sessions:

– MSPND: Multimodal Signal processing technologies for Protecting people and environment against Natural Disasters

– Computer-Assisted Clinical Applications

– Learning from scarce data challenges in the media domain

– Multimedia Analysis for Digital Twins

Authors can submit full length (6 pages – to be presented as oral presentation) or short papers (4 pages – to be presented as posters). The submissions are peer reviewed in a single blind process. The language of the conference is English. 

The CBMI proceedings are traditionally indexed and distributed by IEEE Xplore and ACM DL. In addition, authors of certain best papers of the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions to a special issue of a leading journal in the field (e.g. MTAP – Springer).

For details about the special sessions see https://cbmi2022.org/call-for-special-session-papers/

Call for Demos

We invite authors to report on novel and compelling demonstrations in all topic areas of CBMI. Demonstration papers are subject to peer review according to criteria such as novelty, interestingness, applications of or enhancements to state-of-the-art, and potential impact.

The length of the papers should be up to 4 pages. An additional 1-2 pages should be appended to the paper that illustrate how the demo will be conducted on-site at CBMI. This additional content will not be published in the conference proceedings, should the submission be accepted. We also recommend including a URL linking to a short video (max. 3 min) to accompany the paper that shows the demo in action. The submissions are peer-reviewed in a single-blind process. Presenters are expected to bring the necessary equipment (computers, etc.) themselves. The conference will provide a table, power outlet, screen, wireless (shared) internet and a poster board. If you have special needs (e.g., more space), please include a related note in your demo submission.
