Abstract
Laser-based sensing and measurement is increasingly used in the industry and many other productive fields, like transportation and surveillance. Computer vision technologies that employ laser in some form or another are widely used in industrial inspection and quality control processes. On the other hand, LiDAR technology has been used for remote sensing with applications in agriculture, forestry and public land management. LiDAR technology has also a prominent role on the emerging transportations systems based on autonomous vehicles in situations that range from personal transportation, to industrial vehicle guidance. Finally, safe LiDAR systems may increasingly be used for surveillance and crowd monitoring in public places because their intrinsic respect for personal data. Laser based measurements have also a prominent role in the field of flexible manufacturing and additive manufacturing.
The goal of the special session is to gather researchers working on the application of innovative computational methods, such as deep learning, to the process of laser-generated measurement data for various purposes.
