We invite submissions of 3 pages max, excluding references. Please 
submit via CMT (https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SUUE2021). The 
submission deadline is June 17th 2021 23:59 (CEST). We allow presenting 
previously published work. More information on the submission process 
can be found on the workshop website 
<https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html>(https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html).


Overview

====================================================================

The vast majority of research in scene understanding is applied in urban 
and structured environments. Unfortunately, these methods often fail 
when used in unstructured environments with challenging lighting 
conditions and many natural structures in the scene.

These conditions require different model assumptions and robust algorithms.


The main objective of this workshop is to create a platform for 
researchers, from both academia and industry, to explore fundamental 
research and applications on scene understanding in unstructured 
environments. It aims to foster discussion and exchanges, ideally 
creating a long-term flourishing communication channel in the community.


The workshop will take place on September 28, 2021as part of the DAGM 
German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) 
<https://dagm-gcpr.de/>in Bonn, Germany. The conference will either be 
organized as a hybrid or virtual conference. We therefore invite the 
international research community to participate. The workshop also 
includes the Outdoor Semantic Segmentation Challenge 
<https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/challenge.html>on the 
novel TAS500 dataset of fine-grained annotations of outdoor driving 
scenes. Train and benchmark your semantic segmentation algorithms on 
these real world outdoor driving scenes. The challenge deadline is on 
July 31, 2021. The best submissions will be invited to present their 
solution as part of the workshop on September 28, 2021.


Topics

====================================================================

Topics include the following but not limited to

* Scene Understanding in Unstructured Environments

* Multimodal Learning

* Transfer Learning

* Applications in Field Robotics

Extended list is available on the workshop website 
<https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html>(https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html).


Workshop Chairs
