BMVC 2023 WORKSHOP
Project Aria for All-Day Egocentric Research
Friday, 24th November 2023
Sir Ian Wood Building, Robert Gordon University
The 2023 BMVC Project Aria Workshop for All-Day Egocentric Research aims to bring together resesarchers and engineers from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in research for egocentric perception.
In this workshop, we will cover a broad range of research topics related to the challenges of all-day wearable egocentric devices (such as AR glasses), including visual and non-visual localization and mapping, static and dynamic object detection and spatialization, human pose estimation, and building geometry estimation.
*Please bring your laptop to follow along with the hands-on section of this workshop!*
