=================
Despite its potential and relevance for real-world applications, visual forecasting or precognition has not been in the focus of new theoretical studies and practical applications as much as detection and recognition problems. Through organization of this workshop we aim to facilitate further discussion and interest within the research community regarding this nascent topic.
The workshop will discuss recent approaches and research trends not only in anticipating human behavior from videos, but also precognition in multiple other visual applications, such as: medical imaging, health-care, human face aging prediction, early event prediction, autonomous driving forecasting, and so on. In addition, this workshop will give an opportunity for the community in both academia and industry to meet and discuss about future work and research directions. It will bring together researchers from different fields and viewpoints to discuss existing major research problems and identify opportunities in further research directions in both research topics and industrial applications.
=================
Topics:
The workshop focuses on several important aspects of visual forecasting. The topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Early event prediction
- Activity forecasting
- Multi-agent forecasting
- Human behavior prediction
- Human face aging prediction
- Anticipation of trajectories
- Short- and long-term prediction and diagnoses in medical imaging
- Predicting frames and features in videos and other sensors in autonomous driving
- New theories and applications in visual forecasting models
- Databases, evaluation, and benchmarking in precognition
=================
Submission Instructions:
All submitted work will be assessed based on their novelty, technical quality, potential impact, insightfulness, depth, clarity, and reproducibility. For each accepted submission, at least one author must attend the workshop and present the paper. There are two ways to contribute submissions to the workshop:
- Extended abstracts submissions are single-blind peer-reviewed, and author names and affiliations should be listed. Extended abstract submissions are limited to a total of four pages. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the poster session, and will not be included in the printed proceedings of the workshop.
- Full paper submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed. The submissions are limited to a total of eight pages, including all content and references, must be in PDF format, and formatted according to the CVPR style (additional information about formatting and style files is available here). Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session, with selected papers also being presented in an oral session. All accepted papers will be published by the CVPR in the workshop proceedings.
