CALL FOR PAPER

We invite scientists from omnidirectional vision and robotics communities to attend the „Workshop on Omnidirectional Robot Vision“ and to discuss sensors, algorithms and applications of omnidirectional vision for robotics. 

Omnidirectional vision research was always greatly stimulated by mobile robotics and it was finding its major applications there. Recently, a broader community has started working with omnidirectional sensors and commercial applications appeared also in surveillance and automotive industry. We wish to encourage active collaboration of computer vision and robotic researchers to develop more robust, practical and applicable systems in robotics and elsewhere.

Papers should be in IEEE format. Page limit is 6 pages (extended abstracts,
in addition to full papers, will also be considered). The authors of
selected papers will have the opportunity to present their work during the
workshop either as a regular presentation or with a poster along with a
short spotlight presentation.

Submitters should use the workshop's Easychair website:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=omnirobovis2010

Expanded versions of selected contributed papers will be considered for a
special issue in an international journal (to be decided).

Topics of interest

- Omnidirectional sensors for robotics
- Omnidirectional vision for mobile robots, flying robots and manipulators
- Omnidirectional vision for robot navigation and safety
- Omnidirectional vision for multi-robot teams (including RoboCup leagues) 
- Omnidirectional visual odometry
- Omnidirectional SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
- Omnidirectional vision in industrial robotics and automotive industry
