DESCRIPTION
Modeling and shape analysis of articulated and deformable objects (ADOs) is a challenging field of computer vision. In the last decade interest in 3D modeling of ADOs has been renewed as models and approaches introduced for specific problems, as for example human body modeling and human pose estimation, hand modeling and tracking, and face analysis, have become more mature allowing their use in more general and/or challenging problems. Moreover, a large number of detailed 3D models has become available, both artistically created and captured by specialized equipment, allowing the use of more sophisticated Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques. The recent advent of the virtual and augmented reality era on one hand and the ubiquity of GPGPU computing on the other has also increased the interest in 3D modeling and tracking of ADOs for real-time applications.
The main focus of the workshop is on the generation of 3D models of articulated and deformable objects from images and videos. We aim to bring together and offer a forum of discussion and interaction among researchers interested in modeling, reconstruction and pose estimation techniques and favor the cross-fertilization between fields like Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Computer Graphics, Robotics, and Machine Learning.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The workshop will mainly consist of invited talks given by renowned researchers on the relevant topics as well as a poster session where submissions accepted to the wokshop will be presented. Relevant original contributions as well as contributions that have been recently presented in other venues, including the ICCV main conference are welcome.
Covered topics include but are not limited to:
- Articulated and deformable object modeling from videos
- Articulated and deformable object modeling from a single image
- Multi-view articulated and deformable object modeling
- 3D animation of articulated and deformable objects from videos
- 3D shape tracking
- 3D shape registration
- Full and partial 3D shape retrieval
- Sketch-based modeling and retrieval
- Character modeling based on gesture drawings
- Articulated object pose estimation (including human body and hand pose estimation)
