CALL FOR PAPERS
ICPR 2020 Workshop on: “Pattern Recognition and Automation in Construction the Built Environment”

The 25th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2020)
10-15 January 2021, Milan, Italy
https://www.micc.unifi.it/icpr2020/
The workshop covers a topic that is rapidly gaining attention in the recent years, with a continually increasing number of research papers, research groups, projects and applications in various subfields of applying pattern recognition-related methods to automating different facets of the construction and renovation process. The architecture, engineering and construction industry, an economic sector of significant importance (annual revenues of approx. US$10 trillion, or about 6% of global GDP), is expected to be radically transformed by digitalizing ever more aspects of the construction model, thereby boosting productivity, managing complexity and enhancing worksite safety and quality. Pattern recognition is central to this process of transformation, with computer vision, signal & image processing, machine learning applications increasingly finding uses of great impact to the field. At the same time, as novel problems arise corresponding to new applications in automating construction, the need for novel models and methods of pattern recognition is becoming ever-more urgent, in a process that is revitalizing and beneficial for both pattern recognition as a research field, as well as the construction industry.
We warmly welcome contributions of papers targeting the workshop scope, which includes the following topics:
- Pattern recognition for construction planning
- Structural asset detection
- Vision and Perception
- Process simulation models
- Defect & Crack detection
- Automated construction progress assessment
- Energy efficiency estimation
- Scan-to-BIM and Scan-vs-BIM
- Augmented & Mixed reality
- Automatic demand response flexibility estimation
- Uses of UAVs and Pattern Recognition in construction
- Decision support systems
- Management of constructed facilities
- Energy efficiency estimation
- Robot vision for construction applications
- Robot path and motion planning in construction sites
- Robot multimodal perception in construction
- Human robot interaction and safety issues in construction sites
