Call for Papers : IEEE IROS Workshop on Color-Depth Camera Fusion in Robotics


Depth cameras, e.g., time-of-flight and structured-light sensors, have become increasingly popular for the last couple of years. These devices are able of providing depth images at 30 frames per second, at a resolution ranging between 0.03 and 0.3 million pixels, and at a very affordable price. In parallel, video camera technology has made tremendous progress in terms of photometric/color quality and of image resolution, namely 2.0 to 5.0 million pixels. The ambition of this workshop will be to provide an opportunity to disseminate recent theories, methods, and practical algorithms that explicitly exploit the enormous potential of combining low-resolution depth cameras with high-resolution color cameras for a wide variety of robotics tasks. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple fields: computer vision, robotics, computer graphics, image processing, and sensor architecture.
