The researchers of the Augmented Vision department have presented 4 papers at the ICPRAM 2025 conference taking place Feb 23 – 25, 2025 in Porto, Portugal.

The International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods (ICPRAM) is a point of contact between researchers and engineers working on Pattern Recognition, both from a theoretical and application perspective.

The presented papers are:

“Domain-Incremental Semantic Segmentation for Autonomous Driving under Adverse Driving Conditions”
Shishir Muralidhara, René Schuster, Didier Stricker

“1D-DiffNPHR: 1D Diffusion Neural Parametric Head Reconstruction using a single image”
Pragati Jaiswal, Tewodros Amberbir Habtegebrial, Didier Stricker

“HI^2: Sparse-View 3D Object Reconstruction with a Hybrid Implicit Initialization”
Pragati Jaiswal, Didier Stricker

“Object-Centric 2D Gaussian Splatting: Background Removal and Occlusion-Aware Pruning for Compact Object Models”
Marcel Rogge, Didier Stricker

The paper “HI^2: Sparse-View 3D Object Reconstruction with a Hybrid Implicit Initialization” was a nominee for the best paper award.

Congratulations to all the authors!

We are very happy that our paper “CLEO: Continual Learning of Evolving Ontologies” has been accepted to the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV). A preprint of our work can be found here. A short video is available on YouTube. The paper is a joint work with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and describes some results of our collaboration.

We are proud to announce that our paper “RMS-FlowNet++: Efficient and Robust Multi-scale Scene Flow Estimation for Large-Scale Point Clouds” by Ramy Battrawy, René Schuster, and Didier Stricker has been published in the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV). The online version of the paper can be found here a preprint is available here. The paper extends our previous work on efficient scene flow estimation in dense point clouds that has been published at ICRA 2022.

The 6th workshop on Safe Artificial Intelligence for All Domains was held this year in conjunction with CVPR in Seattle. René Schuster is a permanent member of the program committee since 2020.

Congratulations to Ramy Battrawy for his best poster Award at BMVC 2023, https://bmvc2023.org, for his paper.
