Visual observation and analysis of Vertebrate And Insect Behavior (VAIB) Participation

Announcing VAIB16: 

Visual observation and analysis of Vertebrate And Insect Behavior (VAIB)

     http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/vaib16.html

A 1 day workshop to be held December 4, 2016 at the 2016 Int. Conf. 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. 

The papers accepted for presentation are:
