13:30-14:20 Keynote Talk: Robot 6DoF localization and mapping Prof. José Ramiro Martínez-de Dios (University of Seville, Spain)
Abstract: Robot localization is a fundamental functionality for autonomous navigation. This talk will survey the principles, main existing methods, last advances and challenges in robot 6DoF localization, and its dual problem mapping, for GNSS-denied environments
Workshop Summary
During the last years we are witnessing a constantly increasing use and interest for Autonomous Systems (AS) such as UAVs, humanoid robots, cars, marine and underwater vessels, etc. This is due to their numerous applications in transport, surveillance, mapping, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, cinematography etc. Successful deployment of autonomous systems involves tackling a number of interesting and challenging topics such as AS localization, planning, action and mapping, analysis of visual data coming from AS sensors for human centric or environment active perception and cognition, privacy protection technologies in AS data, 3D data (e.g. LIDAR) processing and analysis, communication issues for AS, sensor fusion, multimodal interfaces etc. These tasks can be addressed by using several methodologies from the areas of signal/image/video processing and analysis, computer vision and machine learning (including deep learning) provided that they respect several constraints and limitations inherent to AS, such as real-time operation, limited available computing resources on board the AS, need for robustness in real-life scenarios etc. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, engineers and computer scientists working in the areas of signal/image/video processing and analysis, computer vision, and machine learning for AS to present and discuss recent developments and trends in this exciting area.
The workshop will consist of 2-3 invited talks by prominent researchers and oral presentations featuring research papers. The workshop is technically sponsored by the H2020 Project MULTIDRONE (www.multidrone.eu).
Paper Topics Papers describing novel work are solicited in the following areas (non-exhaustive list):
- Signal/image/video processing and analysis for autonomous systems

- Human centric active perception and cognition for autonomous systems (person/face/body part detection/recognition and pose estimation, person/face/body part tracking, human activity recognition, social signal -facial expressions, gestures etc- analysis and recognition, speech and biosignals analysis and recognition)
- Environment active perception and cognition for autonomous systems (object detection/recognition and semantic scene segmentation and understanding, 2D/3D object tracking, 3D scene reconstruction, sensor information fusion)
- Autonomous systems localization, planning, navigation, action and control
- Embedded computing approaches for processing (computer vision, deep learning, etc) on autonomous systems

Registration Workshop attendance requires a separate registration, i.e., it is not covered by the registration in the main conference (EUSIPCO 2019). Individuals that wish to attend only the workshop and not EUSIPCO 2019 can do so. Registration rates (for non-authors) are 25 Euros (regular) and 10 Euros (student). Workshop registration includes admission to the workshop sessions and coffee break. Workshop proceedings will be included along with the EUSIPCO proceedings (USB key).
