AVSU: Workshop on Audio-Visual Scene Understanding for Immersive Multimedia

This workshop aims to provide a forum to exchange ideas in scene understanding techniques researched in audio and visual communities, and to ultimately unlock the creative potential of joint audio-visual signal processing to deliver a step change in various multimedia applications. Papers and talks presented in this workshop will contribute to the emerging technology for audio and visual information that can improve traditional approaches for multimedia content production and reproduction. The goals of this workshop are to (1) present and discuss the latest trends in audio and computer vision fields for the common research goals, (2) understand state-of-the-art techniques and bottlenecks in the other's discipline for the common topics, (3) investigate research opportunities of joint audio-visual scene understandings in multimedia content production. This workshop will be a good opportunity to bring together leading experts in audio processing and computer vision, and will bridge the gap between two research fields in multimedia content production and reproduction.
