🔹 IVPAI 2026 — International Conference on Image, Video, and AI Processing

📍 Hilton Colombo Residence, Colombo, Sri Lanka | 📅 May 7–9, 2026

Our team participated in the 8th International Conference on Image, Video, and Artificial Intelligence (IVPAI 2026), presenting two complementary papers on the food enterprise digital twin project (IRN BR24992975). The conference brought together scientists and engineers from around the world in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and industrial AI.

🧪 🔬 Presented work

Paper 1. Towards Digital Twins in the Food Industry: An Augmented Reality Visualization Approach (Paper ID: EA152)
Speak: Tomiris Nurgazy

Summary: An augmented reality module based on Blender + Unity + Vuforia that transforms real equipment into an interactive interface—the operator sees telemetry and system status directly on the physical object.

Paper 2. Design and Development of a Virtual Environment for Simulation Modeling of Production Processes and Personnel Training Based on a Digital Twin Model (Paper ID: EA142)
Speaker: Baurzhan Amirkhanov

Summary: The architecture of the proprietary OpenEgiz platform, which connects industrial equipment (IIoT), simulation modeling in Siemens Plant Simulation, and XR interfaces. A Telegram bot for quickly generating 3D equipment models using AI was also showcased.

✏️ What we presented

  • AR visualization of telemetry on real hardware (Blender / Unity / Vuforia)
  • The OpenEgiz Platform as a bridge between IIoT ↔ simulation ↔ XR
  • A Telegram bot for AI-powered generation of 3D models of industrial equipment.
  • The Full Data Cycle: collection via MQTT and InfluxDB → analysis → interactive display in VR/AR

🏆 Results of participation

  • 📌 Two oral presentations on project BR24992975, both accepted for the conference proceedings
  • 🔗 Discussions on joint publications with the University of Macau (QS #254) and IIT Delhi (QS #150)
  • 💬 Expert evaluation of the integration of modules from the conference’s general chairman, Professor Chi Man Poon (University of Macau)
  • 📄 Publication of materials by SPIE with indexing in Scopus and EI
  • 🌐 Discussion of attracting international master’s and doctoral students to KazNU Summer Schools in Data Science
