Abstract: Autonomous quadrotors will soon play a major role in search-and-rescue and remote-inspection missions, where a fast response is crucial. Quadrotors have the potential to navigate quickly through unstructured environments, enter and exit buildings through narrow gaps, and fly through collapsed buildings. However, their speed and maneuverability are still far from those of birds. Indeed, agile navigation through unknown, indoor environments poses a number of challenges for robotics research in terms of perception, state estimation, planning, and control. In this talk, I will show that active vision is crucial in order to plan trajectories that improve the quality of perception. Also, I will talk about our recent results on event based vision to enable low latency sensory motor control and navigation in low light and high dynamic environment, where traditional vision sensor fail.

Abstract: Technology is the symbol of our age. Nevertheless, some fields have been left out of the revolution. One of these is archaeology, where many tasks are still performed manually - from the initial excavation, through documentation, to restoration. It turns out that some of these activities are classical computer vision tasks, such as puzzle solving, shape completion, matching and edge detection. The objects, however, are much harder to deal with than usual, since they are broken and eroded after laying underground for thousands of years. Therefore, being able to handle these objects benefits not only archaeology, but also computer vision. In this talk I will describe some of the algorithms we have developed to replace manual restoration.

Abstract: Spectral geometry is at the heart of a variety of problems in computer vision, graphics, pattern recognition and machine learning. Ultimately, the core reason for its success can be traced down to questions of stability and informativeness of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of certain operators. In this talk, I will discuss and show tangible examples of such properties, and showcase some dramatic implications on a selection of notoriously hard problems in computer vision and graphics. First, I will address the question whether one can recover the shape of a geometric object from its vibration frequencies (‘hear the shape of the drum’); while theoretically the answer to this question is negative, little is known about the practical possibility of using the spectrum for shape reconstruction and optimization. I will introduce a numerical procedure called isospectralization, showing how this *practical* problem is solvable. Then, I will discuss the widespread problem of data corruption and partiality, and demonstrate how knowledge of the behavior of the spectral decomposition of Laplacians can lead to unprecedented results as exemplified on partial dense correspondence of deformable 3D shapes. I will conclude my talk with an overview of current and future work in these areas, with a look at potential applications in computational biology, computer-assisted medical diagnosis, and deep learning.

Abstract: Society is expecting robots to enter our houses and factories tomorrow, with the aim of cooperating with us. For this goal to be achievable, it is necessary that these agents become primarily cognitive systems, endowed with a cognitive architecture that enables them to adapt, predict, and pro-actively interact with the environment and the human partners. In this framework, vision needs to be cognitive: purposive, adaptive and anticipatory. Furthermore an artificial cognitive visual system which aims at existing and thriving in a human society needs the ability to communicate.
Human communication is based on mutual understanding: I know how to communicate because I entertain a model of you, which enables me to select an effective way to convey to you what I want and to have an intuition of your internal states – what you need, fear or desire. Such intuition guides my vision, enabling me to perceive properties that would be otherwise not accessible to my perception, as goals, emotions or effort.
Our contribution to the roadmap toward cognitive vision systems leverages on the use of a humanoid robot (iCub) to try and test some of our assumptions on how to build a cognitive interactive agent. We attempt at modeling the minimal skills necessary for cognitive development, focusing on the visual features that enable to recognize the presence of other agents in the scene, to allow action matching across different visual perspectives and to foster automatic speed adaptation in human-robot interactive repetitive tasks. We investigate how a robot could leverage on visual signals to anticipate the partner’s goals for collaborative or competitive purposes, to infer the right moment to interact and to assess the emotional reactions of the partners.
In a dual approach we are trying to understand how to modulate robot behavior to elicit better human understanding and to express different characteristics of the interaction: from the mood to the level of commitment. This approach is propaedeutic to the creation of a cognitive vision system, by helping in the definition of what is relevant to attend to, starting from signals originating from the intrinsic characteristics of the human body.
We believe that only a structured effort toward cognitive vision – or better visually-enabled cognition – will in the future allow for more humane machines, able to see the world and people as we do and engage with them in a meaningful manner.

In this Industrial Session, we will bring together researchers and practitioners in industrial engineering and computer science interested in industrial machine vision to overview the state of the art and identify the most interesting research lines.
The industrial session will host several companies as well as start-ups to show their activities while assessing them with respect to the cutting-edge research in the respective areas.
ICIAP2019 will host the presentation of the results of the DAFNE Challange (Digital Anastylosis of Frescoes challeNgE).
The DAFNE Challenge is an international competition in the artistic heritage sector designed to provide virtual solutions that ultimately add to the fresco restorer’s toolkit. The deadline for on-line registration is 31st May 2019.
On Thursday, September 12th, ICIAP 2019 will host a special oral session with "brave new ideas" papers. These papers explore highly innovative ideas, visionary applications and theoretical paradigm shifts in the area of computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, multimedia analysis, and image processing.
These papers can arise, for instance, from highly interdisciplinary works (e.g. involving socio-technical studies), from research that exploits innovative data sources as well as from studies that adopt radically new strategies for addressing a well-established task. Due to their visionary nature, the underlying studies can be at an embryonic stage and experimental results can be at preliminary level.

The city of Trento: the unique charm of a renaissance alpine city, where history is art.
Trento is a city rooted in art and history, where the Italian and Mitteleuropean cultures meet. Unique amongst the alpine cities, the City of the Council (1545 - 1563) still keeps its precious monuments as tokens of its rich artistic and historic heritage. Built in the elegant renaissance style, they have been enhanced by recent refurbishing works.
Special mention goes to the Castello del Buonconsiglio, the Castle for several centuries residence of the Prince-Bishops of Trento; the Duomo, the Cathedral of Trento dedicated to San Vigilio, its gorgeous piazza and fountain dedicated to Neptune, the frescoed houses and Council churches as well as the museums and exhibitions which make the city of Trento a true landmark of alpine arts, culture and traditions.
The Council of Trento, held between 1545 and 1563 in Trento and Bologna, was one of the Roman Catholic Church’s most important ecumenical councils. Prompted by the Protestant Reformation, it has been described as the embodiment of the Counter-Reformation.
The Castello del Buonconsiglio is the largest and most important monumental complex of the Trentino Alto Adige region.
It was the residence of the Principi Vescovi (Prince-Bishops) of Trentofrom the 13th century to the end of the 18th century, and is composed of a series of buildings of different eras, enclosed by walls and positioned slightly higher than the city:
Also of exceptional interest are the extensive cycle of frescoes commissioned by the bishops to decorate the interior walls of the Castle, mainly in the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance period. After the end of the Episcopal principality (1803) the castle was used as a barracks; following its restoration in 1924, it became the National Museum, and since 1973 it belongs to the Autonomous Province of Trento.
Trento’s Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Vigil and has ancient origins.
There are in fact records that indicate the first church was built on the burial ground of this saint, martyred in the fifth century. It was then enlarged, whilst its present appearance is owed to Bishop Federico Vanga, who entrusted the redesigning of the cathedral to Adam d’Argogno in 1212. The position of the church is the result of his plan.
The construction, continued over the centuries by d’Arogno’s descendants, underwent various changes with respect to the original project due both to the churches needs and the changes in construction techniques. The contrast between the Romanesque style and the height of the vaults recalling gothic cathedrals is extraordinary. Two climbing staircases built into the lateral walls lead up to the two bell towers, in the opposite direction to the altar. Amongst the numerous works of art it is worth noting the worshipped wooden statue of Our Lady of Sorrow, some of the altars, a series of canvasses, the Romanesque sculpture (credited to Adam d’Arogno) called the Madonna of the Drowned, at whose feet the bodies of people who drowned in the Adige or the irrigation channels that flowed through the city and funeral monuments of numerous famous political and religious characters were placed.
In the southern aisle the Alberti Chapel can be found. This contains a large crucifix, in front of which, on 4 December 1563 at the end of the Council, the decrees of the counterreformation were promulgated.
The high Altar with a baroque canopy above, erected in the middle of the eighteenth century with the annulment of the citizens vote during the French siege of 1703, holds the urn with the relics of Saint Vigil.
The frescoes, created between the 13th and 15th century, can be attributed to painters from Venetian, Lombardian and late gothic schools and depict classic Christian themes.
The palaeochristian basilica can be entered from the northern transept, which an excavation campaign lasted several years made accessible.
Trento offers visitors its richly historical and artistic heritage all year around. Visitors can admire its beauties while strolling around the city centre’s alleys, enjoying shopping or visiting the city’s museums.
The castle has numerous art and archaeological collections that were first assembled in the mid-19th century within the Civic Museum of Trento and include objects that date from prehistory up to the first half of the 19thcentury documenting the historical and artistic events of Trento and its surrounding territory.
For more information, please see the dedicated website.
MUSE is a place of constant change, from the main exhibitions, up to date with the latest developments, to special projects, with prestigious national and international collaborations, and finally to MUSE Lab, where the most advanced experiments in the field of new technologies take place.
The exhibition of Muse uses the metaphor of the mountain to describe life on Earth.
You start from the top: the terrace and the 4th floor allow us to encounter the sun and ice, and from there you descend to investigate the issues of biodiversity, sustainability, and evolution, until you reach the basement and the wonder of the tropical greenhouse.
Trento has special agreements with local Hotels and B&B to grant keen rates to the Congress' participants. Please find in the enclosed lists 2018 fees. Please notice that the mentioned rates can be granted according to the availability and only with personally contacting the hotel for booking.
The Buonconsiglio Castle is a museum as well as the largest monumental complex in Trentino-Alto Adige. The Castle built up against the 13th-century city walls served as the residence of the Bishops of Trento from the second half of the 13th century until the secularization of the principality in 1803 and is composed of a series of buildings of different eras, enclosed by walls and positioned slightly higher than the city.
Today it is the seat of the Museo Provinciale d'Arte (Provincial Art Museum), monuments and provincial art collections. It holds numerous collections of art, paintings, sculptures, graphic works, miniate codes, majolica ovens, as well as archaeological and numismatic collections. Among its many Baroque and Gothic frescoes, an outstanding work is the Ciclo dei Mesi (Cycle of the Months) considered one of the most significant examples of international Gothic style in the world.
The Castle is located in the very center of Trento at a walking distance from the Conference venue.

Located a short distance from the village of Mattarello, Villa Bortolazzi at Acquaviva will allow visitors to appreciate the evocative eighteenth-century atmospheres enclosed within a building with simple and linear contours built in 1693 by Comacini Apollonio and Pietro Somalvico. Adorned by the vast park, the avenue that runs between two boxwood hedges and a garden decorated with statues of divinities and allegories in silent conversation, the exterior of the villa restores a fascinating Arcadian atmosphere. Once through the threshold, the route will allow you to admire the frescoed 18th-century pictorial decoration, the exuberant stucco cornices and the dizzying architectural partitions made by the Trentine painter Antonio Gresta and the Modenese Domenico Romani. The halls of the villa are frescoed with mythological, allegorical scenes, heraldic compositions, elaborate eighteenth-century perspective architectures among which we remember the central hall with the Apotheosis of the Sun between the figures of the Seasons, of the wife Neera and of the two daughters who feed the horses of the chariot of the sun made by Antonio Gresta. The delightful Chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Carmel is enhanced by paintings by G. B. Cignaroli and by the altar attributed to Giuseppe Antonio Sartori.
Villa Bortolazzi is located in Mattarello, a small village at 20 minutes of distance from the Conference venue. There will be buses from and to the conference venue.
