SCOPE
The development of a variety of new image capturing devices and soft sensors, coupled with the rapid advancements in machine learning and pattern recognition have unleashed new possibilities in the full range of visual computing fields. These advances have already started bringing about significant development to many areas of interest to the engineering community. The proliferation of data, combined with effective means to obtain, manage, process and analyze massive volumes of visual data, is driving innovation and appears to be one of the key disruptive enablers in engineering. The aim of this Special Session is to explore visual computing techniques (computer vision, image processing, computer graphics, visualization, AR/VR) for all types of engineering applications.
TOPICS
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) visual computing methods for:
- Robotics and automation, machine vision applications, video surveillance and monitoring
- Electrical and mechanical engineering, production management and optimization, manufacturing, failure detection, industrial inspection
- Civil engineering, construction management and optimization, structural health monitoring, earthquake engineering, urban planning
- Industrial inspection
- Environmental monitoring and early detection of natural hazards
- Surveying and geospatial engineering, remote sensing and geosciences
- Cultural heritage applications (restoration, large-scale digitization, material characterization)
