10th AI City Challenge Accepted as an ECCV 2026 Workshop

I am excited to share that the 10th AI City Challenge has been accepted as a half-day workshop at ECCV 2026 in Malmo, Sweden. The official ECCV workshop list includes our workshop under the title “Towards Sim2Real Transfer and Unified Reasoning: 10th AI City Challenge”.

This milestone continues a decade of AI City Challenge workshops and competitions, bringing together researchers and practitioners working on computer vision, multimodal AI, intelligent transportation, smart cities, and large-scale video analytics.

The 2026 challenge focuses on Sim2Real transfer, unified reasoning, and smart-city video AI across six tracks:

1. Multi-Camera 3D Perception, for Sim2Real multi-object tracking across camera networks.
2. Transportation Safety Understanding and Captioning, for captioning and VQA around pedestrian-centric risk.
3. Anomalous Events in Transportation, for detecting, localizing, and explaining traffic anomalies.
4. Text-Based Person Re-Identification, for natural-language retrieval by appearance and actions.
5. Generative Traffic Video Forecasting, for future-frame generation from video history and text descriptions.
6. Cross-City Object Detection, a Milestone Systems Hafnia track for geographic generalization.

I am grateful to continue helping organize this community as it moves from detection-centric perception toward richer reasoning, prediction, and deployment-aware evaluation for real-world infrastructure.
