The Early Career Advisory Board (ECAB) of IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica (JAS) is pleased to present the first Symposium Series in 2022 on Intelligent Visual Perception in Smart City, to be held online on April 9, 2022.

The Symposium Series is technically sponsored by the IEEE/CAA JAS and aims to provide a research venue for researchers, students and control engineers to exchange ideas and discuss the technical trends and challenges in the area of automation science and engineering. The Series brings together a set of one day or half day symposia at a common site, currently being planned as an online event given the pandemic situation, but IEEE/CAA JAS will be monitoring the pandemic situation and will announce any modifications to this plan. The Series will run multiple times yearly and different symposium topics will be solicited from the current ECAB members.  

The second Symposium Series is devoted to recent advances in building intelligent perception models for smart city, hosted by two ECAB members Dr. Wenguan Wang and Prof. Min Liu.

Accepted papers will be distributed as widely as possible over the subfields of Smart City, and Pattern Recognition & Intelligent Systems. Most excitingly, all accepted papers will be recommended to and published in the IEEE/CAA JAS as Letter when passing peer review.

Call for Papers

Topics of contributing papers include, but are not limited to

● Visual, LIDAR and radar perception

● 2D/3D object detection/tracking

● Scene parsing, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation and panoptic segmentation

● Human-cetric visual understanding, human-human/-object interaction understanding

● Human activity understanding, human intention modelling

● Person re-identification, pose estimation, part parsing

● Vehicle detection,  pedestrian detection and road detection

● New benchmark datasets and survey papers related to the aforementioned topics

Important Dates  

Contributed papers up to 3 to 4 pages (double column with font size being 9; the template can be found at https://www.ieee-jas.net/news/Information%20for%20Authors.htm）should be submitted by March 20, 2022 via online submission and review system: https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-jas
