    This one-day workshop aims to bring together academic researchers from the
    fields of engineering, computer vision and artificial intelligence with
    industrial developers working in the field of visual surveillance. There is
    a great diversity of scientific problems that must be solved including
    reliable image capture and detection, efficient use of communications
    bandwidth, knowledge acquisition and classification, intelligent storage and
    querying, as well as intelligent interfaces. Applications for this
    technology include transport safety, security of public space, crime
    prevention and commercial analysis. Moreover, some projects are designed to
    deliver an increase in operator efficiency, while others are expected to
    operate autonomously. Papers are particularly welcomed in the following
    areas:

         Detection and tracking of pedestrians and vehicles
         Recognition of specific and generic objects
         Modelling and recognition of actions, gestures and behaviour
         Coding for low bandwidth systems
         Fusion of data from multiple sensors
         Database storage and retrieval of surveillance data
         System training and learning
         Context-based video retrieval

    Important dates
         Submission Feb 16th 2001 Four A4 page full length paper
         Notification Apr 13th 2001
         Camera Ready May 25th 2001

    will be returned on request only until April 20, 2001.

    Each Abstract should fit on one 8.5" x 11" white page with 1" margins
    on all sides, single-column format, single-spaced, Times Roman or
    similar font of 10 points or larger, printed on one side of the page
    only. Fax submissions will not be accepted. Abstract title, author
    name(s), affiliation(s), mailing, and email address(es) should begin
    each Abstract. An accompanying cover letter should include: Full title
    of Abstract; corresponding author and presenting author name, address,
    telephone, fax, and email address; and a first and second choice from
    among the topics above, including whether it is biological (B) or
    technological (T) work. Example: first choice: vision (T); second
    choice: neural system models (B). (Talks will be 15 minutes long.
    Posters will be up for a full day. Overhead, slide, and VCR facilities
    will be available for talks.) Abstracts which do not meet these
    requirements or which are submitted with insufficient funds will be
    returned. Accepted Abstracts will be printed in the conference
