BMVC 2018 WORKSHOP ON COMPUTER VISION PROBLEMS IN PLANT PHENOTYPING
(CVPPP 2018)
SEPTEMBER 6, 2018, NEWCASTLE, UK
CALL FOR PAPERS
Submission due (full paper or 1 page abstract): 06 July 2018
Notification of acceptance: 17 July 2018
Camera-ready (full papers only): TBD
Workshop date: 06 Sept 2018
After the successful CVPPP workshops at ECCV 2014, BMVC 2015, and ICCV
2017, CVPPP this year returns to BMVC. The goal of this fourth workshop
is to continue to showcase the challenges raised by and extend the state
of the art in computer vision for plant phenotyping. Plant phenotyping
is the identification of effects on plant structure and function (the
phenotype) resulting from genotypic differences (i.e., differences in
the genetic code) and the environmental conditions a plant has been
exposed to. Knowledge of plant phenotypes is a key ingredient of the
knowledge-based bioeconomy, which not only literally helps to feed the
world, but is also essential for feed, fibre and fuel production. We
want to identify key but unsolved problems, expose the current
state-of-the-art, and broaden the field and the community.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:
* advances in segmentation, tracking, detection, reconstruction and
identification methods that address unsolved plant phenotyping scenarios
* open source implementation, comparison and discussion of existing
methods and annotation tools
* image data sets defining plant phenotyping challenges, complete with
annotations if appropriate, accompanied with benchmark methods if
possible, and suitable evaluation methods. Compare e.g. the Plant Leaf
Segmentation Challenge (LSC), which spawned from earlier CVPPPs and is
meanwhile hosted at CodaLab
(https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/18405) as permanent
competition.
We welcome both
* full papers [will appear in the BMVC online proceedings] and
* one page abstracts [will appear on the CVPPP website, but not in the
BMVC proceedings].
Further information about the workshop, author instructions, submission
guidelines, and the challenge are available at:

We are looking forward to inspiring solutions for automated plant
phenotyping applications!
