7th Visual observation and analysis of Vertebrate And Insect Behavior workshop
(VAIB20)
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/vaib20.html
A 1 day workshop to be held January 11, 2021 at the
2020 International Conference on Pattern Recognition
Milan, Italy (www.micc.unifi.it/icpr2020/)
(rescheduled to January 10-15, 2021).
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 7th 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 extended abstracts
will be circulated to attendees. The abstracts will not be included
in the official ICPR proceedings, but will be accessible from the
VAIB20 web page (as with previous VAIB workshops).
The issues that the research will address include (but not limited to):
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.
