===== Save-the-Date =====

It is a great pleasure to announce the 12th IEEE International
Conference on Advanced Video and Signal based Surveillance (AVSS) in
Karlsruhe/Germany!

AVSS is the premier annual international conference in the field of
video and signal-based surveillance that brings together experts from
academia, industry, and government to advance theories, methods,
systems, and applications related to surveillance. AVSS is sponsored
by the IEEE and, in particular, by its two societies, the Signal
Processing Society (IVMSP TC) and the IEEE Computer Society (PAMI TC).

 

AVSS has been steadily growing in both stature and attendance, from
about 70 attendees in 1998 (Genova, Italy) to 125 in 2010 (Boston,
USA) and 140 in 2011 (Klagenfurt, Austria), up to about 200 in 2013
(Krakow, Poland). In 2015 the 12th AVSS will take place on August,
25th-28th in Karlsruhe, Germany and hosted by the Karlsruhe Institute
of Technology (KIT), together with the Fraunhofer Institute of
Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB).

===== Call-for-Papers =====

Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality full papers
representing original results in all areas of signal-based
surveillance.

The final papers are limited to 6 pages in double-column IEEE format,
including figures. All manuscripts will be published as IEEE
proceedings.

AVSS focuses on underlying theory, methods, systems, and applications
of surveillance and invites submissions in areas including the
following topics of interest:

·         Sensor-Centric Processing
·         Processing, Detection, Tracking & Recognition
·         Visualization and Interaction Concepts for Surveillance Systems
