Teaser

The Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis (SCIA) is a biennial conference on computer vision, image analysis, and pattern recognition. It has been held since 1980 in the scandinavian countries Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. In 2019, SCIA will return to Linköping University, Sweden, where the first conference was held in 1980. However, this time it will be in the nearby city of Norrköping, which hosts the Norrköping Campus of Linköping University.

The conference will be co-located with the Swedish Symposium on Deep Learning (SSDL), which takes place on June 10-11. For more information on SSDL, please see the symposium webpage.

Proceedings of the conference are now online: Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science

Keynote speakers

Laura Leal-Taixe
  • IAPR keynote speaker: Laura Leal-Taixé
  • Professor, Technical University of Munich

  • Prof. Laura Leal-Taixé is leading the Dynamic Vision and Learning group at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. She received her Bachelor and Master degrees in Telecommunications Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona. She did her Master Thesis at Northeastern University, Boston, USA and received her PhD degree (Dr.-Ing.) from the Leibniz University Hannover, Germany.

    During her PhD she did a one-year visit at the Vision Lab at the University of Michigan, USA. She also spent two years as a postdoc at ETH Zurich, Switzerland and one year at the Technical University of Munich. In 2017, she won the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award of 1.65 million euros from the presitgious Humboldt Foundation for her project "socialMaps".


  • Dynamic Scene Understanding - With or without time?

  • If you ask any student nowadays what tools to use to solve an image recognition task, the most popular answer will be Deep Learning. But the real-world is not static but rather dynamic, and therefore better represented by videos than by still images. It is still an interesting open question how to deal with the temporal redundancy of video frames: shall a Neural Network exploit it or ignore it?

    In this talk, I will explore both strategies, i.e., to actually exploit the redundancy in the content of nearby frames, or to ignore it.

    In the first work on multiple object tracking, I show how to obtain temporally coherent results while not using temporal information during training. This also alleviates the need for full video annotations. From our recent work on video super resolution, I will present our new temporal discriminator which works in a Generative Adversarial Network training scheme in order to create temporally coherent image details.



Lourdes Agapito
  • Lourdes Agapito
  • Professor, University College London

  • Lourdes Agapito holds the position of Professor of 3D Vision in the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL). Her research in Computer Vision has focused on the inference of 3D information from the video acquired from a single moving camera. While early research focused on static scenes, attention soon turned to the much more challenging problem of estimating the 3D shape of non-rigid objects (Non-Rigid Structure from Motion, NR-SFM) or complex dynamic scenes where an unknown number of objects might be moving, possibly deforming, independently. Prof. Agapito's research group investigates all theoretical and practical aspects of NRSFM: deformable tracking; dense optical flow estimation and non-rigid video registration; 3D reconstruction of deformable and articulated structure and dense 3D modelling of non-rigid dynamic scenes.


  • Capturing vivid 3D models of the world from video

  • As humans we take the ability to perceive the 3D world around us for granted. From an early age we can grasp an object by adapting our fingers to its 3D shape; or understand our own mother's feelings by interpreting her facial expressions. These tasks require some internal 3D representation of shape, deformations and motion. Building algorithms that can emulate this level of human 3D perception has proved to be an extremely hard task. In this talk I will focus on the acquisition of 3D models of deformable surfaces, such as human faces or bodies, using as input video sequences taken with a single consumer camera. There is now great short-term potential for commercial uptake of this technology. I will share how my research can empower business and society showing some applications to robotics and to AI-driven video synthesis.

Fred Hamprecht
  • Fred Hamprecht
  • Professor, Heidelberg University
  • Visiting Professor, Uppsala University

  • Fred Hamprecht holds the Robert-Bosch endowed professorship for Image Analysis and Learning at Heidelberg University. His research interests lie in image processing and machine learning. His main focus is on the development of algorithms to solve interesting problems from the life sciences. Major applications include the tracing of all neurites in a brain, the tracking of all cells in a developing embryo, and quantitative analysis of high-throughput experiments. The group puts particular emphasis on the user-friendly training of such systems, and is actively developing open source libraries and programs such as ilastik. Prof. Hamprecht studied and earned his PhD at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), and became a Professor for Multidimensional Image Processing at Heidelberg University in 2001. He is a co-founder of the Heidelberg Collaboratory for Image Processing (HCI).


  • Signed graph partitioning: an important computer vision primitive

  • Perennial computer vision problems such as image partitioning, instance segmentation or tracking can be reduced to combinatorial graph partitioning problems.

    The majority of models developed in this context have relied on purely attractive interactions between graph nodes. To obtain more than a single cluster, it is then necessary to pre-specify a desired number of clusters, or set thresholds.

    A notable exception to the above is multicut partitioning / correlation clustering, which accommodates repulsive in addition to attractive interactions, and which automatically determines an optimal number of clusters. Unfortunately, the multicut problem is NP-hard.

    In this talk, I will characterize the combinatorial problem and discuss its representations in terms of node or edge labelings. I will discuss greedy algorithms that find approximate solutions, or even exact ones under certain conditions. One algorithm I will discuss is the "mutex watershed" which currently gives the best results on a connectomics challenge.

    Joint work with Steffen Wolf, Constantin Pape, Nasim Rahaman, Alberto Bailoni, Ullrich Koethe, Anna Kreshuk.

  • Word: we do not encourage the use of Microsoft Word, particularly as the layout of the pages (the position of figures and paragraphs) can change between printouts. However, we do provide the relevant template. Please read the explanatory typing instructions "SPLNPROC Word 2007-2010 Technical Instructions.pdf" contained in the ZIP archive carefully. The template can be downloaded here.
  • Word 2003: A document template has been prepared by Springer for use with Word 2003. Predefined style formats are available for all the types of content that are part of a computer science proceedings paper, and these formats can be easily accessed via special toolbars. The ZIP archive with the template can be downloaded here.

Camera ready submission

Papers accepted for presentation must be resubmitted by April 3 in the submission system. The resubmission must consists of 3 different files:

  1. the source files (LaTeX or Word) of the revised version of the manuscript. If your manuscript is written in LaTeX, you must ensure to provide all the figures, bibliography and additional manuscript files necessary to compile the final PDF. All the files should be included into a single ZIP file;
  2. a separate file containing the answers to the reviewer comments, explaining how you addressed their critics and suggestions in the revised version of the manuscript;
  3. a signed version (in PDF) of Springer copyright, available for download at the link below.

Copyright submission

Authors whose paper has been accepted for presentation in SCIA 2019 must download and compile the Springer copyright form, necessary for the publication in the Springer proceedings. The copyright form must be compiled as follows:

  • Title of the Book or Conference Name: SCIA 2019.
  • Volume Editor(s): Jonas Unger, Michael Felsberg, Per-Erik Forssén, Ida-Maria Sintorn
  • Title of the Contribution: title of the paper submitted to SCIA 2019.
  • Author(s) Name(s): complete names of all the authors of the paper submitted to SCIA 2019.
  • Corresponding Author's Name, Address, Affiliation and Email: information of the corresponding author of the paper submitted to SCIA 2019.

The copyright form must be signed by the corresponding author of the paper and the three boxes in the end must be checked, only if one of the categories apply. Once the form is filled, it must be scanned and converted ina PDF file, which has to be sent along with the files required for the camera ready version of the manuscipt (see above), before April 3.

The copyright form can be downloaded here.

Oral presentations

Papers scheduled as orals have an allotted 15mins for their talks. Each talk is followed by a 3min Q&A session, where the next author also prepares to speak. Papers selected for oral presentation also have the option to present a poster, see details above. If you choose to also present a poster, make sure to mention this during the talk, as the talk then serves as your spotlight.

Poster presentations

For papers scheduled as posters there are both a poster session and a spotlight. The poster boards are wide enough to accommodate a 1m wide poster. Two common poster sizes that fit are A1 landscape, or A0 portrait. Note that there is no poster printing service at SCIA. Instead we ask you to print your poster beforehand, and bring it to the conference.

Each poster presenter is also offered a poster spotlight presentation before the poster session. A spotlight lasts 3 minutes (with hard cutoff, and no time for questions, save these for the poster session). Use the spotlight to draw interest to your poster, rather than trying to explain all the details. The spotlight presentation (slides in pdf-format, recommended 1 title + 3 slides) must be uploaded latest on June 10 via: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SCIA2019 (opens June 3).

Original research and double submissions

The research papers must neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Preprints (such as ArXiv) are accepted.

Proceedings

Papers accepted for the SCIA 2019 conference will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science Proceedings, Springer. All figures will be in black and white in the printed publication.

Registration

Registration to SCIA 2019 and SSDL is now open. Early bird registration is available until April 7.

Travel

Traveling to Norrköping from outside of Sweden is easy. The closest airport is in the nearby city of Linköping with flights from and to the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. Linköping airport is accessed to and from Norrköping by taxi or by taking a shuttle or bus to Linköping train station. The local train is operated by Östgötatrafiken leaves from Linköping Resecentrum to Norrköping Resecentrum 3-4 times every hour. Another option is Skavsta airport which operates Ryanair flights from several destinations in Europe and is accessed by frequent airport busses to and from Norrköping. The Arlanda airport in Stockholm can be reached from most major airports and is accessed by several daily direct trains to and from Norrköping.

Norrköping

Norrköping is located approximately 1.5 hours south of Stockholm. From the 17th century to the middle of the 20th century, it was the place of a number of large industries located along the Motala river that floats through the city. The city was a large producer of textiles, and has often been nicknamed "Sweden's Manchester". Today, the former industries have been restorated and transformed into a unique environment that hosts a number of innovative companies, museums, conference center, the Visualization Center C, as well as the Norrköping Campus of Linköping University.

For more information about Norrköping, see for example the experience Norrköping website.
