SUMMARY
The past decades have seen significant improvements in 3D imaging where
the related techniques and technologies have advanced to a mature state.
These exciting developments have sparked increasing interest in industry
and academia in the challenges and opportunities afforded by 3D sensing.
As a consequence, the emerging area of safety and security related
imaging incorporates these important new technologies beyond the
limitations of 2D image processing. The goal of the A3DISS 05 workshop
is to bring together pioneering academic and industrial researchers in
the field of computer vision and image analysis. Special attention will
be given to advanced 3D imaging technologies in the context of safety
and security applications. Comparative evaluation studies showing
advantages of 3D imaging over traditional 2D imaging for a given
computer vision or pattern recognition task are encouraged. The workshop
explores various related topics, including but not limited to the
following:
* 3D biometrics and face recognition
* 3D surveillance and identification technologies=20
* 3D safety inspection
* 3D site modeling and verification of plant design=20
* 3D inspection and facility monitoring
* 3D robotic planning for physical security analysis and public safety
* 3D imaging for rail, bus, and aircraft safety
* 3D imaging for emergency response=20

Important Dates
* Manuscript submission: February 25, 2005
* Papers distributed for review: March 4, 2005
* Reviews due: March 21, 2005
* Notification of acceptance: March 28, 2005
* Receipt of camera ready copy: April 18, 2005
SUBMISSION
Papers applying 3D Imaging for Safety and Security are welcomed for
submission. However, preference will be given to those papers, which
clearly indicate in the abstract: a) what is the challenging problem the
paper addresses and b) what are the paper's contributions. Papers
should not exceed 8 double-column pages. Only original manuscripts will
be considered. Dual submission with CVPR is not permitted. However, if a
relevant paper on 3D imaging has been submitted to CVPR, a related paper
(but one focused on applications for safety and security) can be
submitted to the workshop. This policy is intended to encourage
participation from authors whose papers are accepted in CVPR, as well as
those that are not. Reviewing will be blind circular. By submitting a
paper, each author agrees to review at least 2 other submissions. This
procedure has produced quality, useful reviews in previous CVPR
workshops. As reviewers, authors must comply with the reviewing schedule
listed in "Important Dates". In addition, each paper will be reviewed by
the Program Committee. Given the exploratory nature of the workshop,
reviews will emphasize the novelty of ideas and clarity of presentation.
Accepted papers will be published on the workshop's web site and will
appear on the CD-ROM of the main CVPR Conference. An extended version of
some selected papers may be published in an edited book after the
workshop.
