OAGM Workshop 2022

Digitalization for Smart Farming and Forestry

September 13–14, 2022, TullnOctober 18, Novmeber 7/8, 2022 (Online: Zoom)

The Austrian Association for Pattern Recognition (OAGM) invites authors and guests to participate at its 45th annual workshop, held in Tulln, Austria, on September 13–14, 2022 as an online event (via Zoom) splint into three sessions (spotlights, full papers, student paper) on October 18 and November 7/8 2022. The workshop provides a platform for presentation and discussion of research progress as well as current projects within the OAGM community. This year, we additionally focus on interdisciplinary research of computer vision and pattern analysis in particular in the  application domains farming, agriculture, and forestry. The aim would be to bring together Austrian and nearby located groups, researchers, and students working on interdisciplinary topics for discussion and establishing potential collaborations.

General topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • 3D vision, stereo, and structure from X 
  • Active learning, interactive machine learning, and human-in-the-loop
  • Animal and plant phenotyping
  • Cyber-physical systems for smart farm and forest operations
  • Embedded and mobile computer vision / machine learning
  • Explainability, ethics, and fairness in computer vision / machine learning 
  • Image denoising, restoration & enhancement 
  • Image, video, and multimodal retrieval 
  • (Bio-)Medical image analysis
  • Motion and  tracking 
  • Multi- and hyperspectral image analysis
  • Object/scene detection, recognition, and categorization
  • Pattern analysis (visual and non-visual data) 
  • Precision agriculture and precision forestry
  • Remote sensing and earth observation
  • Robot vision and embedded intelligence
  • Sensors and information fusion
  • Statistical methods and machine learning
  • Video analysis and event recognition 
  • Vision datasets, benchmarking, and performance evaluation
