call for papers

1. Aims and scope. This workshop aims to bring together computer vision and robotics researchers interested in various aspects of visual perception and its application to the robotic setting. The emphasis will be on contributions with robotic-specific applications and motivations, strategies where perception is integral part of robots’ decision making, proposals of novel representations of objects and scenes in a robotic setting and their acquisition.
   

2. This goal open a wide range of questions regarding the robotic sensing: What are the exact sensing capabilities a robot need to succeed at different tasks? How accurate and at which levels should the robot environment be modeled? What do we have now and what is it left to reach this goal? Which lines of research from the Computer Vision field are of interest and which aspects are not well suited to this particular problem? Robotics, unlike any other potential applications of Computer Vision, aims to sense but also interact with its surroundings and performs tasks that may modify them. This differentiation should be considered in order to develop useful algorithms and lines of research.
   

3. The additional goal of the workshop is to discuss specific experimentation, platforms and evaluation strategies (ROS, OpenCV, open databases...) for the above mentioned mid and high-level perception tasks. This would enable the comparison of existing strategies and novel ones, facilitate their sharing, re-usability and interoperability, and further support open source developments in the field.
