Call For Papers

Visual surveillance has a leading role to play in reducing the personal and financial costs of preventing crimes and terrorism. These costs are expected to be more than $1 trillion in 2005. It is now feasible to deploy large networks of cameras over wide areas and collect from the cameras colossal amounts of image data. The methods for processing this data have not kept pace with the improvements in the hardware. There is a strong demand for automatic methods for analysing, indexing and storing huge image databases. How can a complete picture of all the scene activities be obtained? How should events be classified and which events require the attention of the network operators? Is it possible to recognise people reliably using biometrics such as size, shape and gait? How can the data be indexed and stored in order to facilitate later searches? How should the performance of visual surveillance systems be measured? How should the information obtained from visual surveillance networks be supplied to and used by the larger social, legal and state infrastructures involved in the fight against terrorism?

The first IEEE International Workshop on Visual Surveillance was held in Mumbai, India in conjunction with ICCV'98, and subsequent workshops were held in Colorado, USA (with CVPR'99), Dublin, Ireland (with ECCV'00) and Nice, France (joint VS-PETS workshop with ICCV'03). PETS workshops have been held in Kauai, Hawaii (with CVPR'01), Copenhagen, Denmark (with ECCV'02) and Graz, Austria (with ICVS'03).

VS-PETS 2005 is a two day single track workshop Contributors are invited to submit to VS-PETS 2005 research papers in any area related to visual surveillance. Possible research areas include but are not limited to:

Background and environment modelling
Object tracking and classification
Behaviour analysis and recognition
Biometric identification
Image sequence classification
Image database annotation and searching
Wide area surveillance
Camera networks and data fusion
Camera calibration
Performance evaluation
Application Systems
