5th International Conference on Imaging for Crime Prevention and Detection ICDP-13 Kingston University, London, 16-17 December 2013 Sponsored by the IET's Vision and Imaging Network Co-sponsored by the IEEE (SSIT, Sig Pro, CAS, I&M), BMVA, UKIVA, Queen Mary University London, UCL, Kingston University Conference web site: http://www.icdp-conf.org [www.icdp-conf.org] This conference follows the successful IDSS (Intelligent Distributed Surveillance Systems) events held in 2003 and 2004 and ICDP 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011, to bring together researchers, industry, end-users, law-enforcing agencies and citizens groups to share experiences and explore areas where additional research, development and better working practices are needed, identify possible collaboration and consider the societal impact of such technologies. Keynote talks: * Dr Josh Davis Department of Psychology and Counselling, University of Greenwich. Super-recognisers in the police: An exceptional human resource for the identification of suspects from crime scene images. * Mick Neville, Detective Chief Inspector (DCI), Metropolitan Police Service. Catching Criminals Caught on Camera - How the Met Police is leading the world Special Industrial Session and European Union Projects session. Incorporating an i-LIDS Challenge: "Detecting Events in Compressed Video" Accepted peer-reviewed papers that are presented by one author at the conference will be indexed by INSPEC. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Surveillance Systems and solutions (system architecture aspects, operational procedures, usability, scalability) * Multi-camera systems * Information fusion (e.g. from visible and infrared cameras, microphone arrays etc) * Learning systems, Cognitive Systems Engineering and video mining * Robust computer vision algorithms (24/7 operation under variable conditions, object tracking, multi-camera algorithms, behaviour analysis and learning, scene segmentation) * Human Machine Interfaces, Human Systems Engineering and Human Factors * Wireless communications and networks for video surveillance, video coding, compression, authentication, watermarking, location-dependent services * Metadata generation, video database indexing, searching and browsing * Embedded systems, surveillance middleware * Gesture and posture analysis and recognition * Biometrics (including face recognition) * Forensics and crime scene reconstruction * X-Ray and terahertz scanning * Case studies, practical systems and testbeds * Data protection, civil liberties and social exclusion issues Dates: 1 September 2013 - Submission of full papers (6 pages) http://dipersec.king.ac.uk/conftool 25 October 2013 - Notification of acceptance 11 November 2013 - Submission of camera-ready papers For further information please contact the general chair, Prof. Sergio A Velastin (sergio.velastin@theiet.org)
