Call for Papers
Object and scene categorization has been a central topic of computer vision research in recent years. The problem is a highly challenging one. A single object or scene may show tremendous variability in appearance and structure under various photometric and geometric conditions. In addition, members of the same class may differ from each other due to various degrees of intra-class variability.
Recently, researchers have proposed new powerful models as well as sophisticated mathematical tools for handling categorization of objects and scenes. However, much work still needs to be done towards the goal of: i) finding a suitable representation that can efficiently capture the three-dimensional nature of objects and scenes; ii) taking advantage of this representation to help the recognition task.
We are soliciting original contributions which can provide both theoretical and experimental insight on this fundamental problem. Specific questions we would like to address include, but are not limited, to:
- Representation:
- What is a suitable representation for recognizing 3D object categories?
- Reconstruction and Recognition:
- Can recognition and reconstruction be run simultaneously to enhance each other?
- How much does 3D information help? How detailed does the 3D representation need to be in order to achieve satisfactory recognition?
- Spatial constraints and contextual recognition:
- How can we use/explore different degrees of 3D spatial constraints (e.g. ground plane) for recognition?
- Can we expand known 2D spatial models (e.g. constellation models) to 3D?
- How can 3D spatial constraints be used for joint recognition of scenes and the objects within?
- Human vision:
- What can we learn from what we know about our own visual system? How do we represent a 3D object or environment in our brain? Can this inspire computational work?
The special issue follows up of themes and ideas presented during the 3D Representation for Recognition Workshop 2007 (3dRR-07). The workshop was held in conjuction with Eleventh IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision , Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, October, 2007
