AIMS AND SCOPE

As urban areas grow and evolve into smart cities, the need for
advanced, integrated surveillance systems becomes critical for
ensuring public safety and efficient city management. This workshop
aims to explore the latest technologies and methodologies for creating
a cohesive surveillance ecosystem that leverages multiple data sources
that can have a powerful impact on different applications, such as
monitoring the crowd flow, monitoring traffic, real-time anomaly
detection, behavioural analysis, fire detection and others utilising
both high-altitude (from drones and satellites) and ground-level
images and videos.  A further aim of this workshop is to promote the
study and development of this field to identify limitations, open
issues and further research directions.

The workshop will focus on the integration and deployment of various
surveillance technologies in smart cities. This includes traditional
CCTV cameras, high-altitude systems such as drones and satellites, and
advanced monitoring systems incorporating IoT sensors and AI
analytics.

The authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a Special Issue (Journal TBD).

TOPICS

The workshop calls for submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Integration of traditional CCTV systems with high-altitude surveillance technologies
- Innovations in drone and satellite-based monitoring for urban environments
- AI and machine learning applications in smart city surveillance
- Data fusion and analytics for enhanced urban security	
- Privacy and ethical implications of widespread surveillance
- Case studies of smart city surveillance implementations
- Real-time monitoring: applications in traffic management and anomaly (e.g., fire) detection
- Future trends and challenges in urban surveillance
