Title: Image Fusion Based on Multi-resolution Pyramid
Summary:
Digital image processing now days used in various application domains. Because of the inherent drawbacks associated with the digital camera and its image quality, there has been a great scope in developing techniques to enhance the picture quality. Image fusion is a procedure where several images can be pooled together to form a single fused image. These several source images can be acquired by different imaging sensors at different wavelengths while concurrently viewing of the same sigh. The resultant combined image is made to improve image content. People can detect, recognize, and identify targets easily in the fused image. Moreover, the fused image contains more accurate information about the scene, which may be more suitable for computer processing. Images captured using the same camera may also vary in numerous ways and a single image out of them is not enough to analyze the exact situation

Edge Intelligence Driven Cyber-Physical Systems: Algorithms and Applications
Title: Edge Intelligence Driven Cyber-Physical Systems: Algorithms and Applications
Summary:
A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a computer system in which a mechanism is controlled or monitored by computer-based algorithms. In cyber-physical systems, physical and software components are deeply intertwined, able to operate on different spatial and temporal scales, exhibit multiple and distinct behavioral modalities, and interact with each other in ways that change with context. CPS involves transdisciplinary approaches, merging theory of cybernetics, mechatronics, design and process science. Examples of CPS include smart grid, autonomous automobile systems, industrial control systems, and robotics systems. Edge intelligence aims to facilitate the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) on cyber-physical systems. However, there are many challenges existing for a novel design of edge intelligence on cyber-physical applications, and their co-optimization. For instance, conventional AI techniques usually entail powerful computing facilities (e.g., cloud computing platforms), while cyber-physical systems may have only limited resources for computations and communications. This suggests that AI algorithms should be revisited for cyber-physical systems to provide the efficient processing. In this workshop, we are pleased to invite manuscripts on edge intelligence in cyber-physical systems. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
CPS system architecture
Control optimization of CPS
Machine learning for CPS
Design and verification of CPS
Security and privacy for CPS
Mobile and cloud computing for CPS
Practical application-oriented system design for CPS

Image Representation from Handcrafted to Deep Features
Title: Image Representation from Handcrafted to Deep Features
Summary:
Image representation plays an important role in a variety of visual tasks such as texture classification, face recognition, scene categorization, and object detection. Conventional handcrafted descriptors such as Gabor features, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), Local Binary Pattern (LBP) were well studied which have high efficiency and good explainability. Now data-driven deep learning methods almost dominate the related fields and achieve promising results. However, these methods are usually data hungry and rely on costly computing resources, working with a black box model. Therefore, it remains several open questions about 1) which method would be better for some specific applications or task requirements, 2) how to achieve and balance the robustness (invariance) and distinctness of feature representations, and 3) how to use them in a hybrid way so that they can complement each other. Researchers are encouraged to submit original and novel research papers on the above related topics.

Computational Pathology: Advances and Applications
Title: Computational Pathology: Advances and Applications
Summary:
Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide, with about 10 million people died from cancer each year. The early and precise diagnosis can greatly reduce the mortality rates from cancer. Routine pathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosis and grading of various cancer types in the clinical setting. Pathologists were used to examine glass slides under the microscope, but nowadays they can also analyze digitized whole slide images directly with the help of digital scanning systems. Nevertheless, manual analysis performed by pathologists suffers from inter- and intra-observer variations, and it is a very tedious and labor-intensive process. Furthermore, whole slide images consist of a wide range of quantitative phenotypic information characterizing tumor microenvironments, which has not been well explored and utilized by qualitative analysis. To overcome these limitations, it is increasingly significant to develop and advance histological image analysis by using artificial intelligence, statistical analysis and other engineering computations. To this end, this workshop aims at providing an opportunity for leading researchers from academia and the industry to discuss research accomplishments in computational pathology. The topics include, but not limited to, color normalization, histological image analysis, registration, enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction, classification, computer-aided diagnosis, grading and prognosis, as well as other relevant histological tasks. To further promote the techniques and concepts from different fields, the workshop also encourages authors to submit outstanding contributions on relevant areas such as integration of multi-modal medical image analysis.Please name the title of the submission email with “paper title_workshop title”.

Efficient Image Processing and Computer Vision Algorithms
Title: Efficient Image Processing and Computer Vision Algorithms
Summary:
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have madea remarkable success in image processing and computer vision (e.g., classification, object detection, and super-resolution). Recent neural network designs with billions of parameters have demonstrated human-level capabilities but at the cost of significant computational and storage complexity.
There are many approaches to reduce the amount of computation and storage of image processing and computer vision algorithms, such as model compression including sparsification, binarization, quantization and pruning for efficient inference with deep networks. Network Architecture Search (NAS) is also a main stream method which searches for a highly efficient network structure from a large predefined search space. Besides, combining traditional methods with deep learning is also a solution to reduce the computation and storage of algorithms. In addition, mutual optimization of hardware and software systems is worth exploring to make algorithms more efficient in computation and storage. Finally, efficient algorithms can be applied to various image processing and computer vision tasks, such as detection, tracking, classification, segmentation, style transfer and super-resolution, etc.
We will conduct extensive discussions in the field of efficient image processing and computer vision algorithms. Potential topics of this workshop include but are not limited to:
(1)Deep network compression and acceleration.
(2)Network binarization and low-bit quantization
(3)Network architecture search for efficient algorithms
(4)Mutual optimization of hardware and software systems
(5)Combining traditional methods and deep learning algorithms to reduce model computation and storage
(6)Efficient algorithm for different vision tasks (detection, tracking, classification, segmentation, style transfer and super-resolution, etc.)
