Second International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for 3D Big Spatial Data Processing (AI3D 2019)
**********************************************************************************************************

Co-located with IEEE ISM 2019, San Diego, California, USA, December 9-11, 2019

Recent advances in laser technology has evolved the importance of 3D spatial data and challenges considering is processing and management. 3D spatial data is usually generated as a stream of points by mounting scanning equipment on drones and cars for large area scanning or on some stationary platform for small area scanning or indoor scanning. The 3D spatial data offer a useful source of information for natural resource management, urban planning, autonomous driving, etc.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to take the 3D spatial data processing into hypergrowth. Recently, 3D indoor mapping systems, terrestrial mobile mapping systems (MMS) and airborne LiDAR systems are capable of collecting terabytes of data (including images and point clouds) in a single scan or on a single trip. Existing approaches and tools lack the efficient management, processing and analysis of 3D spatial data. The solution to this problem lies in the use of Artificial Intelligence and
Deep Learning to redefine the workflow.
This workshop focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning to improve the processing, management and analysis of 3D Big Spatial data. The workshop aims at providing a platform to the group of researchers working in this direction to share their work, exchange ideas, and solve research problems.

Submission Instructions and Review Process
**********************************************
Authors are invited to submit an 8-page (regular), 4-page (short), and 2-4 page (vision or on-going) manuscript in double-column IEEE format. Manuscripts must be written
in English and follow the instructions in the Manuscript Formatting and Templates page.

Document templates are located at:
---------------------------------------
Word (http://media.wix.com/ugd/346a54_3feb3b10846a4532951e3fcae6767fae.doc?dn=MSW_USltr_format%20(2).doc)

All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three experts and reviews will be returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Please only submit original material where copyright of all parts is owned by the authors declared and which is not currently under review elsewhere. Please see the IEEE policies for further information.

Manuscript Submission Instructions:
----------------------------------------
Only electronic submission will be accepted. Technical paper authors MUST submit their manuscripts through EasyChair. Manuscripts may only be submitted in PDF format.

Camera-ready Submission Instructions:
-------------------------------------------
Your final papers MUST be formatted to IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Formatting Guidelines (see the templates listed earlier). It is highly recommended that you proofread and check the layout of your paper BEFORE submitting.

Note:
Every paper accepted for publication in the Proceedings MUST be presented during the workshop.
Every paper accepted MUST have attached to it at least one registration at the full member/nonmember rate. Thus, for a paper for which all authors are students, one student author will be required to register at the full registration rate. Failure to do so will result in removal of your paper from the conference proceedings. Regular workshop papers allow up to 2 extra pages and short papers up to 1 extra page with $150 per extra page.

Contribution Types:
----------------------
Full research paper: 8 pages
Short research paper: 4 pages
Vision or on-going research paper: 2-4 pages

Key Dates:
-----------
Paper submission deadline: September 22, 2019
Notification of acceptance: October 21, 2019
Camera ready deadline: October 31, 2019
Workshop date: December 9, 2019
