European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV)
ECCV is the official event under the European Computer Vision Association and is biannual on even numbered years.
The European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) is a biennial premier research conference in Computer Vision and Machine Learning, managed by the European Computer Vision Association (ECVA). It is held on even years and gathers the scientific and industrial communities on these areas. The first ECCV was held in 1990 in Antibes, France, and subsequently organized all over Europe. Paper proceedings are published by Springer Science+Business Media.
Embedded within the ECCV is the CVPPA workshop aims to advance computer vision for plant and crop applications.
Call for Papers
CVPPA aims to advance computer vision for plant and crop applications. Plant phenotyping is the identification of effects on plant structure and function (the phenotype) resulting from genotypic differences (i.e., differences in the genetic code) and the environmental conditions to which a plant has been exposed. Knowledge of plant phenotypes is a key ingredient of the knowledge-based bioeconomy, which not only literally helps to feed the world, but is also essential for feed, fibre and fuel production.
Computer vision in agriculture problems tend to revolve around automation problems, such as automated detection of plant organs for automated weeding or harvest. The images are acquired in a variety of contexts: forests, fields, greenhouses or controlled environments, packing houses, etc.
We want to identify key but unsolved problems, expose the current state-of-the-art, and broaden the field and the community.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- advances in segmentation, tracking, detection, reconstruction and identification methods that address unsolved plant phenotyping and agricultural scenarios;
- open source implementations, comparison and discussion of existing methods and annotation tools;
- image data sets defining plant phenotyping or agricultural tasks, complete with annotations if appropriate, accompanied with benchmark methods if possible, and suitable evaluation methods; and
- challenge contributions - click here for more information regarding the challenges
CVPPA will provide the opportunity to participate in two diverse challenges. People can participate by submitting their results using the dedicated challenge website (this may vary depending on the institution organizing the challenge).
