Workshop on Vision-enabled UAV and counter-UAV technologies for surveillance and security of critical infrastructures (UAV4S) Call for Papers

Workshop on Vision-enabled UAV and counter-UAV
 technologies for surveillance and security of critical infrastructures (UAV4S)

Venue
The Workshop on Vision-enabled UAV and counter-UAV technologies for
surveillance and security of critical infrastructures (UAV4S) will be
hosted by the 12th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems
(ICVS 2019), which will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece, on 23-25
September 2019.

Context and objectives

The workshop aims to stimulate research activities towards current
technological advances and challenges about the development of UAV
vision embedded technologies for surveillance and C-UAV detection
localization and identification algorithms, methods and tools, by
utilizing enhanced computational vision, acoustic, radar and fusion
methodologies. In addition, the objective of this workshop is to serve
as an interdisciplinary forum for bringing together specialists from
the scientific areas of Computer Vision, Surveillance, Data Science,
Artificial Intelligence, and Security Research, promoting the
formation of a community around the topic and gathering an increased
number of researchers and practitioners.

Topics of interest

The workshop includes papers related but not limited to surveillance
and security topics based on vision methods. Counter-Drone solutions
are expected but other approaches are welcome, too. Papers are
solicited on all areas, including but not limited to the following
research topics:

**         Vision-based navigation and assessment

**         Detection, localization, and identification vision-based methods

**         Multi-sensor fusion techniques

**         Collaborative vision algorithms for navigation and environment perception

**         Augmented reality applications

**         Machine learning in UAV and C-UAV technology

**         Deep learning in UAV and C-UAV technology

**         UAV and C-UAV related tools and applications

**         Surveillance trends for infrastructures

**         Vision-based methodologies for enhanced security

**         Dr. Konstantinos Votis, Centre for Research and Technology Hellas, Greece

 

Important Dates

**         Paper Submission Deadline: 20 June 2019 (EXTENDED)

**         Notification of Acceptance: 1 July 2019

**         Camera - Ready Papers: 15 July 2019

**         Conference: 23-25 September 2019

 

Submission Instructions

Authors are asked to prepare the layout of their papers according to
the Instructions for ICVS2019 authors. Each paper must not exceed 10
pages in the LNCS format (Instructions for the Preparation of
Camera-Ready Contributions to LNCS Proceedings). A thorough review
process will be adopted. The review process will be double blind, so
the paper must not include any information, which allows the authors
to be identified. A camera-ready paper will be required provided the
acceptance of the submission.

Please email your submission before 10th June 2019 23:59 CET following
the instructions below:

**         Submission to: zarpalas@iti.gr

**         Subject: "Vision-enabled UAV and counter-UAV technologies for surveillance and security of critical infrastructures (UAV4S)"

**         Include authors names, affiliations and contact information

**         Attached file: pdf

**         Additional links or illustrations are welcome.

At least one author of an accepted submission is required to attend
the workshop and must register for the main ICVS conference. Accepted
papers will be published in the adjunct conference proceedings.
