VIsual Exploration for Widespread MAPping using aerial and street-level images (VIEWMAP)

Advancements in computer vision have revolutionized collaborative mapping efforts by leveraging aerial and street-level imagery. With the proliferation of satellite imagery, drone technology, and 360-degree imaging, an unprecedented opportunity exists to develop innovative computer vision techniques for detecting various elements within these images and providing rich data sources for mapping multiple aspects of our environment.

This track aims to gather researchers and practitioners to explore innovative computer vision techniques for detecting elements in aerial and street-level images, focusing on their application in collaborative mapping endeavors.
