We live in a world where location is the key for many activities, and computer vision plays a key role for answering the fundamental questions for location-based reasoning and mapping: (1) Where am I? (2) Where i am going? (3) How do i get there? The future world, not too far from our real life, would be full of autonomous robotics and AI agents: autonomous vehicles, autonomous taxis, autonomous delivery vans, autonomous drones, autonomous robotics etc. and location-based reasoning, especially mapping, has drawn a lot of attention from the computer vision community recently, both academia and industry.
This tutorial session brings together people from around the world who are practicing computer vision research for mapping/location- based reasoning in both industry and academia, and would cover the following topics of interests (including but not limited to):
