Workshop Description

Fine-grained categorization (called `subordinate categorization’ in the psychology literature) lies in the continuum between basic-level categorization (object recognition) and the identification of individuals (e.g., face recognition, biometrics). The visual distinctions between similar categories are often quite subtle and therefore difficult to address with today’s general-purpose object recognition machinery. This is especially true for domains where data is not readily available on the web (e.g., medical images, or depth data), or domains for which training data is limited. It is likely that a radical re-thinking of the techniques used for representation learning, architecture design, human-in-the-loop learning, few-shot, and self-supervised learning that are currently used for visual recognition will be needed to improve fine-grained categorization.

It is our hope that the invited talks, including researchers from scientific application domains, will shed light on human expertise and human performance in subordinate categorization and on motivating research applications. For additional details, please see the FGVC6 workshop held in 2019.

Prior FGVC Workshops

COVID-19

The current guidelines are that the CVPR 2020 organizers are still planning on a physical/hybrid meeting and that all workshops/tutorials are planned to take place as scheduled (see http://cvpr2020.thecvf.com/faq). This is a changing situation, so please check the CVPR website for more up-to-date news. In the event of any disruptions, we will still be accepting papers which will be available on the FGVC website after our camera ready deadline and the FGVC competitions are still going ahead as planned. The workshops itself will be held virtually if a physical component is not possible.
