Multi-modal imaging refers to systems able to acquire multiple 2D or 3D information about real scenes, with different sensing modality (ex: 3D point clouds, visible and infrared images, thermal images, hyperspectral sensing, and so on) and is used on a broad range of sensing-based applications. Artificial Intelligence, on the other hand, found recently a new renaissance, thanks to Machine Learning and Deep Learning paradigms successfully applied for addressing very challenging image interpretation tasks. In this context, researchers, developers and practitioners are encouraged to present the latest advance, highlighting how multi-modal sensing technologies and applications can benefit from using Artificial Intelligence based methodologies. The conference, with a specific emphasis on exploiting Artificial Intelligence methodologies, is focused on both: a) the metric performance of sensors and algorithms for producing the most accurate and reliable geometric measurements and models; and b) applications in different fields. </span></div><div class=""><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
