2^nd Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi)

In recent years, we've witnessed the remarkable growth of computer vision applications in both maritime and freshwater domains. These technologies have played pivotal roles in search and rescue (SaR), the detection of illegal fishing, airborne water surface reconnaissance, offshore wind farm and oil rig inspections, animal population monitoring, and beyond. Moreover, the introduction of autonomous vehicle technologies into maritime landscapes promises transformative changes, especially in optimizing navigation in dense traffic areas and near shorelines where computer vision is paramount. Building upon the resounding success and swift advancements highlighted in the inaugural MaCVi workshop as part of WACV '23, we're thrilled to present the second iteration of MaCVi. This edition aims not only to continue fostering connections among researchers in Maritime Computer Vision but also to spotlight new challenges and innovations in the field. Furthermore, attendees can anticipate enlightening keynotes that delve into the latest advancements in airborne and surface water domains. Join us in this continued exploration of the vast horizons of Maritime Computer Vision and partake in the dialogue shaping the future of the field.

This workshop event consists of three main components:

• Regular paper submissions
• Hosting of five challenges
• Keynote presentations
