ECCV 2026 Workshop

TwinWorld

Visual Intelligence for Built Environment Digital Twins

Scalable • Multimodal • Hierarchical • Dynamic

ECCV 2026 · 8th Sep 2026 · Malmö, Sweden

TL;DR

TwinWorld brings together researchers and practitioners from computer vision, robotics, geospatial AI, autonomous systems, and construction technology to advance the next generation of built environment digital twins.

The workshop focuses on scalable 3D and 4D scene understanding, multimodal reconstruction, semantic modeling, neural representations, benchmark-driven evaluation, and real-world deployment.

Motivation

Built environment digital twins are emerging as a key technology for autonomous driving, medical modeling, construction monitoring, robotics, and urban analytics. Yet, creating scalable and continuously updated digital twins remains a fundamentally unsolved computer vision challenge.

Current methods and benchmarks often focus on small-scale or controlled scenarios, while real-world environments are dynamic, noisy, and continuously changing. Practical deployment requires robust 3D reconstruction, semantic understanding, topology-aware scene representations, and continuous 4D updating from multimodal observations.

Applications demand high accuracy and reliability, where even centimeter-level errors may impact autonomous vehicle safety, infrastructure inspection, or construction workflows. Furthermore, real-world systems require a combination of implicit and explicit, structured and unstructured representations, together with hierarchical semantics and scene graphs to capture geometry and inter-object relationships across scales.

TwinWorld aims to advance scalable, multimodal, and hierarchical digital twin representations that bridge methodological innovation with real-world deployment across construction, mapping, robotics, autonomous systems, simulation, and beyond.
