Description
Multimedia technology provides a valuable resource to enhance the unmanned systems, e.g., robot, unmanned aerial vehicle and driverless car. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, engineers as well as industrial practitioners, who concern about the applications of the multimedia in unmanned systems. Joint force efforts along this direction are expected to bridge the gap between multimedia technology and unmanned systems.
All the topics included by the workshop are core issues in the development of the multimedia technology and unmanned systems and have received an increasing attention in recent years. We believe these topics will receive broad interests in fields of multimedia and robotics, and hence sufficient number of high quality submissions can be attracted.
Compared with the related workshops, this workshop pays more attention to emerging issues of multimedia applications in unmanned systems from the perspective of industrial applications, which include but not limited to multimedia data compilation, multimedia scene autonomous perception, multimedia scene understanding, UAV sensing network, and core problems in real applications.
