                 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
 
 
 Third IEEE International Workshop on Visual Surveillance (VS2000)
             in conjuction with ECCV2000
                   July 1, 2000
            Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
 
         
 
Visual Surveillance concerns the analysis and understanding of dynamic scenes.
It is a major application of computer vision and is of great importance for
security, law enforcement, military applications, intelligent transportation
systems, remote sensing, etc. Surveillance cameras are installed all around
us, for example along major roads, in city centres, in shops, at airports and
at railway and bus stations. By analyzing information from such cameras it is
possible to monitor, understand and hence control activities in large, complex 
and spatially distributed regions. 
 
The first two visual surveillance workshops were successfully held at ICCV'98
in 
Bombay and CVPR'99 in Fort Collins, Colorado, both under the sponsorship of
the 
IEEE Computer Society.
With the accepted papers having been carefully selected by a Program Committee
of leading researchers in the field, we are confident that workshop
participants 
will find the papers interesting and intriguing.  Registration information for 
the workshop may be found at
 
http://www.eccv2000.tcd..ie/register.html
 
Please note that VS2000 is workshop no.3 on the registration form.
 
We look forward to meeting you at the Workshop in Dublin!
 
Steve Maybank and Tieniu Tan
VS2000 Co-Chairs
