The International Conference on Digital Technologies for Sustainable Crop Production will take place on November 1-10, 2020.

DIGICROP 2020 is a scientific event addressing an international and interdisciplinary audience working at the intersection of engineering, robotics, computer science, crop sciences, agricultural sciences, phenotyping, and economics. It brings together researchers across disciplines that develop, propose, use, or evaluate new digital technologies with the goal of making central contributions to sustainability in the context of crop production, crop breeding, biodiversity, or our ecosystems.

DIGICROP will offer a mix of keynote presentations, invited video talks, and submitted video talks. The aim of the conference is to stimulate scientific discussions among the participants. The conference will take place online.

📍Registration will be Free of charge.

HVU2021 Call for paper

We present the Second International Workshop On Large Scale Holistic Video Understanding in conjunction with CVPR 2021. Holistic Video Understanding is a joint project of the KU Leuven, University of Bonn, KIT, ETH, and the HVU team.
We hope that HVU workshop establishes a video benchmark integrating joint recognition of all the semantic concepts, as a single class label per task is often not sufficient to describe the holistic content of a video. Further we invite the community to help to extend the HVU dataset that will spur research in video understanding as a comprehensive, multi-faceted problem.
We welcome contributions fitting the following research topics: Large scale video understanding; Multi-Modal learning from videos; Multi concept recognition from videos; Multi task deep neural networks for videos; Learning holistic representation from videos; Weakly supervised learning from web videos; Object, scene and event recognition from videos; Unsupervised video visual representation learning; Unsupervised and self-supervised learning with videos.

Holistic Video Understanding Challenge @CVPR ‘21

https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/29546

CHALLENGE IS OPEN!


Submission deadlines:

- With a CVF publication: date of workshop
- Without: week before date of workshop

Please submit submissions via: https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/29546#participate-submit_results

In the last years, we have seen tremendous progress in the capabilities of computer systems to classify video clips taken from the Internet or to analyze human actions in videos. There are lots of works in video recognition field focusing on specific video understanding tasks, such as action recognition, scene understanding, etc. There have been great achievements in such tasks, however, there has not been enough attention toward the holistic video understanding task as a problem to be tackled.
Therefore, we issue this challenge, to tackle this problem on our dataset. For more information on the HVU dataset check the link below. The challenge focuses on the recognition of scenes, objects, actions, attributes, concepts and events in real-world user-generated videos. We expect you to annotate each video in our dataset with labels from a set of tags we provide, that have been sorted in the aforementioned categories. The results should be submitted in a CSV file on our submission sever, where it will be evaluated and ranked according to an assigned score, further information in the links below.
The top 10 scoring submissions will be asked to submit their code, further terms in the links below. The winning group must also submit an arXiv preprint report about their method.
