Dear All,
I am pleased to announce the
=============
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd European Workshop on Advanced Video-based Surveillance Systems
September 4, 2001
Kingston upon Thames
London, UK
www.kingston.ac.uk/avbs2001
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. 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
