10th International Conference on Distributed Smart Camera Call for Papers

10th International Conference on Distributed Smart Camera (ICDSC' 2016),
 which will take place on  12-15 September 2016, Paris, FRANCE:

Smart camera networks are becoming a fundamental piece of our
intelligent cities, buildings and homes, progressively inserting
themselves into our lives. From smart surveillance systems composed of
a multitude of smart camera nodes to small wearable cameras able to
render a visual log of our daily experience, these devices interact
with each other and with a wealth of other smart things, and of course
the internet. Their rapid development is being possible thanks to the
convergence of several technologies. From advanced image sensors and
vision chips to embedded vision systems capable of efficient feature
extraction, image encoding and wireless transmission of the relevant
visual content, this technology opens the door to new application
domains, where video analytics and the extraction of semantic
information from the scene is performed in a distributed fashion,
implementing a new type of cooperative and/or collaborative vision,
and even fusing visual information with other sensory data.

The ACM International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC)
that is now in its 10th edition is the appropriate forum to
discuss recent advances and open issues in these topics. After the
successful events celebrated in Seville (2015), Venice (2014), Palm
Springs (2013), Hong Kong (2012), Ghent (2011), Atlanta (2010), Como
(2009), Stanford (2008) and Vienna (2007), this year ICDSC will be
held in Paris, France.
