In conjunction with ICCV 2005, the IEEE International Workshop on Visual
Surveillance and  Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance is
a two-day single-track workshop composed of two sessions. The first
session will present research papers in any area related to visual
surveillance. Possible research topics include but are not limited to:

        •       Background and environment modelling
        •       Object tracking and classification
        •       Behaviour analysis and recognition
        •       Biometric identification
        •       Image sequence classification
        •       Image database annotation and searching
        •       Wide area surveillance
        •       Camera networks and data fusion
        •       Camera calibration
        •       Performance evaluation
        •       Application Systems

The Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance (PETS) session
focuses on performance evaluation. Papers may include details of 
proposed evaluation methodologies, including metrics, and testing and
evaluation of algorithms on surveillance data. Papers are expecially
welcome which examine previously

published PETS data.
