Call for Papers for the 2013 ICCV Workshop on Big Data in 3D Computer
Vision (BigData3DCV)

Sydney, Australia
Dec 8, 2013

================================================================

We would like to invite you to participate and contribute to the Big Data
in 3D Computer Vision Workshop in conjunction with the 2013 IEEE
International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV¹13), Dec 1-8 2013,
Sydney, Australia.

Scope & Topics:
================
The main goal of this workshop is to explore scientific research on Big
Data in 3D computer vision. There is an increasingly rich amount of 3D
visual data available from our daily life.

* Smartphones have good built-in cameras for pictures and videos

* Corporations including Google, Microsoft and Nokia have 3D data for
major cities in their map services

* Consumers usually upload multiple images or videos from the same location

* Inexpensive 3D sensors such as Kinect are readily available to capture
the rich 3D data during people¹s entertainment or even in video
conferencing.

This workshop focuses on large scale 3D data analysis algorithms, methods
and solutions. It is expected to demonstrate the state-of-the-arts in the
convergence of 3D sensor technology, 3D computer vision, 3D visualization
and 3D applications. This workshop will cover major aspects of big data
vision and will be the venue for papers to highlight the recent advanced
research from academic and industry labs through the connection of big
data in 3D computer vision.

This workshop aims to foster research efforts related, but not restricted,
to following topics:

* Object description, detection, and recognition on large scale point
cloud data

* 3D scene understanding, object-based representation and segmentation,

* Matching and registration across point cloud data of various sensing

* Navigation, localization, SLAM and semantic mapping

* 3D motion analysis methods

* Structure from motion and multi-view stereo techniques towards large
scale environments

* Benchmark 'Big' 3D datasets

* 3D tracking and reconstruction from live video

* Indexing, searching and alignment of large-scale 3D data

* Content-based 3D retrieval and recognition * 3D mesh, texture, point,
and volume-based representation, 3D scene browsing on mobile devices, 3D
electronic-map

* 3D motion animation,

* Augmented reality and mixing of virtual and real worlds, augmented
reality in street view, web-based 3D map applications.

Authors are invited to submit a full paper (two-column format, 6 - 8
pages) according to the guidelines available on the conference website at
http://www.iccv2013.org <http://www.iccv2013.org/>. Submitted papers will
be reviewed by the workshop program committee in a double blind manner.
Only electronic submissions will be accepted. In submitting a manuscript
to this workshop, the authors acknowledge that no paper substantially
similar in content has been submitted to another conference or workshop
during the review period. Accepted papers must be registered and
presented; otherwise they will not be included in the IEEE Xplore Library.
Visas:
------------------------------
- Everyone needs a visa to Australia except Australians and New Zealanders.
- People can get a letter of invitation once registration is done.
- 6 weeks is the recommended time for obtaining a visa.
- This leaves a very short turnaround after the final decision date on
October 7; you may wish to schedule the final decision date earlier.

Important Dates:
-------------------------------
* Full paper (6 - 8 pages) submission:    7 Sep 2013
* Notification of acceptance:          7 Oct 2013
* Camera-ready paper:              13 Oct 2013
