The VISION workshop will provide a platform for the exchange of scholarly innovations and emerging practical challenges in Vision-based Industrial Inspection. Through a series of keynote talks, technical presentations, and challenge competitions, this workshop aims to (i) bring together researchers from the interdisciplinary research communities related to computer vision-based inspection; and (ii) connect researchers and industry practitioners to synergize recent research progress and current needs in industrial practice.
Keynote Talks
Topics TBD. More keynote speakers will be announced soon — stay tuned!

From an industry point of view:
New developments and evolving practices across industries such as automotive, electronics, and construction, focusing on materials like glass, carbon fiber, metal, and plastic.
Advances in vision-based inspection technologies, the rise of foundation models, and the challenges these bring in terms of algorithm development (e.g., multi-modal data fusion, physics-informed learning).
Release of large-scale industrial inspection datasets.
From an academic point of view:
Algorithms for Data and Annotation Limitations
Techniques to Overcome Real-world Data Challenges
Data-centric Tools and Methodologies
Robust, Explainable, and Accountable Machine Learning
Meta-Learning, Transfer Learning, and Domain Adaptation
Foundation Models in Industrial Inspection
Multi-Modality Data Fusion for Inspection
