------------------------------------------------------------------ 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!
