VS2010

This year The Tenth International Workshop on Visual Surveillance
(VS2010) will be held in conjunction with ACCV2010 in Queenstown, NZ
on Monday November 8th 2010.

 

Call for Papers

Since the first such event in 1998, the series of VS workshops has
been established as an important forum to discuss computer vision
techniques for visual surveillance. Research into intelligent visual
surveillance technologies has become one of the core problem areas of
the computer vision research community. The field enjoys well-funded
national and international funding programmes and boasts a plethora of
start-up companies offering a wide range of intelligent CCTV
products. Yet, despite the apparent success, the core problems remain
as complex and varied as any in computer vision. The deployment of
truly intelligent and robust surveillance systems faces a number of
specific challenges including the segmentation and tracking of
individuals in crowded scenes; extracting body pose; characterization
of threats; reduction in false alarm rates; automatic learning of
human-oriented scene structure; and the semantic linkage between
networks of cameras and other sensors. To address these challenges,
contributions are particularly welcome in the following areas:

    * Multi-camera/sensor calibration
    * Object recognition and tracking
    * Analysis of behaviour analysis and recognition
    * Advanced techniques for retrieval of surveillance data
    * Event and activity modelling
    * Background and environment modelling
    * Detection of anomalies
    * Methods using weak supervision to learn environmental conditions
    * Analysis of groups and crowds
    * Automatic control of PTZ networks using video analysis
    * Image-based sensor networks
