Workshop 8

Applied Vision

Applied Vision (AV 2024)

The workshop provides a platform for presentation and discussion of research progress as well as current projects within the OAGM community. We additionally focus on interdisciplinary research of computer vision and pattern analysis in the context of Applied Vision. The aim is to bring together Austrian and nearby located groups, researchers, and students working on interdisciplinary topics for discussion and establishing potential collaborations.

Contributions to the workshop cluster around the following topics:

  • 3D vision, stereo, and structure from X
  • Animal and plant phenotyping
  • Cultural heritage
  • Cyber-physical systems
  • Document analysis
  • 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
  • Industrial assistance systems
  • Inspection and quality assurance
  • 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
  • Sensors and information fusion
  • Video analysis and event recognition
  • Vision datasets, benchmarking, and performance evaluation

Invited Talk

Collaborative robotics for sustainable manufacturing - Cobotic Induction System for Garment Picking

Fabio Pini, PhD Researcher On Integrated Design Methodologies For The Development Of Industrial/Collaborative Robotic Solutions; University Of Modena And Reggio Emilia. The growing trend of garments waste highlights the need of effective and affordable processes to enable a more sustainable lifecycle. Collaborative robotic systems that support operators represent a feasible solution, but there are still some limitations related to the manipulation of deformable objects, such as garments. By integrating versatile gripper system and machine learning models trained to detect each garment, this work suggests a solutions to automate garments picking. The first experiments highlight interesting results about effective grasping and promising further improvements about the productivity.

Fabio Pini is a tenure track Professor at the “Enzo Ferrari” Engineering Department at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE). He specializes in Design Methods for Industrial Engineering and conducts research in Computer Aided Design for Product Lifecycle Management. He also focuses on designing collaborative and industrial robotics solutions. Additionally, he teaches in various engineering degree programs at UNIMORE.
