Computer Vision/CORE Unranked
PRAW 2027
4th Physical Retail AI Workshop
PRAW 2027 is a half-day workshop held in conjunction with WACV 2027, focusing on computer vision and AI applications in physical retail environments. It addresses challenges such as product recognition under unconstrained conditions, human behavior understanding, edge deployment, and privacy-preserving sensing, bridging academia and industry through peer-reviewed papers, invited talks, and a public challenge on shopper-shelf interaction detection.
Paper fit
Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
