The 36th British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC) 2025
24th â 27th November 2025, Sheffield, UK
Introduction
Welcome to the workshop on Smart Cameras for Smarter Autonomous Vehicles & Robots! This one-day event at BMVC 2025 brings together vision, robotics, and computational imaging experts to discuss challenges, applications, and innovations in embedded camera systems for robotic platforms.
Many advances in the development of autonomous robots and self-driving cars are limited by their embedded sensors.
Arguably, the most important sensors in autonomous vehicles and robots are the cameras.
The entire navigation and driving pipeline relies on high-quality visual input data.
Vision-based algorithms for object recognition and scene understanding are key to ensuring proper navigation and interaction in the real world.
However, what happens if the camera gets damaged?
What if the visual information is noisy? The safety and proper behavior of many autonomous systems depend on the quality and reliability of the cameras.
For this reason, we introduce the 1st âSmart Cameras for Smarter Autonomous Vehicles and Robotsâ Workshop to unify low-level vision, computational photography, and robotics.
Call for Papers
We invite paper submissions on topics related to computational photography and low-level computer vision with applications in robotics and autonomous driving.
The topics include, but are not limited to:
- cameraâbased perception
- lens and optics
- image signal processors (ISP)
- image restoration
- drone and aerial photography
- novel image datasets
- sensor fusion
- realâtime processing
- vision language models (VLMs and VLAs)
- edge AI
Submission platform: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SmartCameras2025/
Papers must follow the same format as BMVC 2025 main conference. The reviewing process is double blind. Dual submissions are not allowed. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Author Guidelines of BMVC 2025.
