Program

The Second Workshop on Analysis of Aerial Motion Imagery (WAAMI) will be held in conjunction with the ICCV conference as a virtual event.

All presentations will be oral. Time at disposal for Oral Presentations will be 20 minutes. Each slot will be split in 15 minutes for the presentation itself and 5 minutes for questions from the audience.

The presenters are kindly asked to provide the slides (pdf) in advance. The entire workshop event will be recorded using the classic ZOOM recording modality. The schedule of the online workshop event is the following (pdf):
