CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS & PAPERS


*EarthVision 2021 - Large Scale Computer Vision for Remote Sensing Imagery
Workshopin conjunction with CVPR 2021, June 2021, virtual.*

Website: https://www.grss-ieee.org/earthvision2021/

*AIMS AND SCOPE*
Earth Observation (EO)/Remote Sensing is an ever-growing field of
investigation where computer vision, machine learning, and signal/image
processing meet. The general objective is to provide large-scale,
homogeneous information about processes occurring at the surface of the
Earth exploiting data collected by airborne and spaceborne sensors. Earth
Observation implies the need for multiple inference tasks, ranging from
detection to registration, data mining, multi-sensor, multi-resolution,
multi-temporal, and multi-modality fusion, and regression, to name just a
few. It comprises ample applications like location-based services, online
mapping services, large-scale surveillance, 3D urban modelling, navigation
systems, natural hazard forecast and response, climate change monitoring,
virtual habitat modelling, etc. The sheer amount of data calls for highly
automated scene interpretation workflows.

This workshop, held for its fifth edition at the CVPR 2021, aims at
fostering collaboration between the computer vision as well as machine
learning disciplines and the remote sensing community to boost automated
interpretation of EO data. EarthVision will additionally help build
cooperation within the CVPR community for this highly challenging and
quickly evolving field that has a big impact on human society, economy,
industry, and the planet.

We invite contributions in the fields of (not exhaustive list):
- Super-resolution in the spectral and spatial domain
- Hyperspectral and multispectral image processing
- 3D reconstruction from aerial images
- Feature extraction and learning
- Semantic classification of UAV / aerial and satellite images and videos
- Deep learning tailored for Earth Observation
- Domain adaptation and concept drift
- Human-in-the-loop
- Multi-resolution, multi-temporal, multi-sensor, multi-modal processing
- Public benchmark data sets: Training data standards, testing & evaluation
metrics, as well as open source research and development.

*IMPORTANT DATES*
Full paper submission: *March 7, 2021*
Notification of acceptance: April 7, 2021
Camera-ready paper: April 14, 2021
Workshop (full day): June 2021

*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES*
A complete paper should be submitted using the EarthVision templates
provided on the workshop website. The paper length must not exceed 8 pages
(excluding references) and formatting follows CVPR 2021 instructions. All
manuscripts will be subject to a double-blind review process, i.e. authors
must not identify themselves on the submitted papers.

Papers are to be submitted using the dedicated submission platform on the
Workshop website (https://www.grss-ieee.org/earthvision2021/submission.html).
By submitting a manuscript, the authors guarantee that it has not been
previously published or accepted for publication in a substantially similar
form. CVPR rules regarding plagiarism, double submission, etc. apply.
