5th Visual observation and analysis of Vertebrate And Insect Behavior workshop (VAIB16) Call for Papers
CFP: 5th Visual observation and analysis of Vertebrate And Insect Behavior workshop (VAIB16)
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/vaib16.html
A 1 day workshop to be held December 4, 2016 at the
2016 International Conference on Pattern Recognition
Cancun, Mexico (www.icpr2016.org)
There has been an enormous amount of research on analysis of video
data of humans, but relatively little on visual analysis of other
organisms. The goal of this fifth VAIB workshop is to stimulate and bring
together the current research in this area, and provide a forum for
researchers to share expertise. As we want to make this more of a
discussion workshop, we encourage work-in-progress presentations.
Reviewing will be lightweight and only 4 page abstracts will be circulated to
attendees.
The issues that the research will address include:
detection of living organisms
organism tracking and movement analysis
dynamic shape analysis
classification of different organisms (eg. by subspecies)
assessment of organism behavior or behavior changes
size and shape assessment
counting
health monitoring
specialized monitoring techniques
These problems can be applied to a variety of species at different sizes,
such as fruit and house flies, crickets, cockroaches and other insects,
mice and rats, commercial farm animals such as poultry, cows and horses,
and wildlife monitoring, etc. One aspect that they all have in common is
video data.
