============================================================================================ =============================================================================================== VP4S-06: Workshop on Video Processing for Security June 7-9, Quebec City, Canada www.computer-vision.org/4security In conjunction with: Canadian conference Computer & Robot Vision (CRV'06) Sponsored by: Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society (CIPPRS). Important dates: January 29, 2006 - Full Paper Submission deadline March 4, 2006 - Final camera ready papers deadline (to appear in proceedings) April 23, 2006 - Posters and demos deadline (to appear on website only) Aims: ---- The Workshop on Video Processing for Security (VP4S-06) is organized as a follow-up of past Workshops on Face Processing in Video: FPiV'04 (held jointly with CVPR'04) and FPiV'05 (held jointly with CRV'05) with its interest extended from face detection, tracking, recognition, coding etc. to people, objects, scene and action detection, tracking and recognition etc. The focus of the VP4S-06 workshop remains dealing with video data, in particular such as coming from TV, surveillance cameras or web/PDA cameras, while the main theme of the workshop is shifted towards security-related applications. The workshop will consist of one day of oral and poster presentations and a invited talk and is open to all attendees of the joint conferences: AI'06, GI'06, CRV'06. The accepted papers will be published as part of the CRV'06 Proceedings and archived into the IEEE Computer Society's digital libraries. Full paper submission: ---------------------- Original full-size papers analyzing video with respect to any application related to security and biometrics are welcomed for submission. Application-oriented papers are as much welcome as theoretical papers. Reviewing of the papers will be double blind. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three Program Committee members. The suggested topics are listed below: - faces in video: tracking, detecting, memorizing and recognizing faces in video sequences. - people in video: tracking and backtracking people in video - searching for objects in video - scene and activity detection and annotation - analyzing multiplexed video, demultiplexing of video - improving quality of video: anti-aliasing and super-resolution - making video more intelligent: - multiple-person and gang tracking - multi-camera people tracking - combining video with other sensor data: range, photo, fingerprints - video and biometrics: soft- and hard- biometrics from video - video over internet, issues related to privacy of video - video-based alarm systems and video for crime prevention - video for face biometrics, face modeling, and 3d face models - facial expression recognition and classification, and representation - fusing different modalities of video information (motion, colour, intensity) - performance evaluation for face in video problems, video-based benchmarks and databases - processing of video from stereo and panoramic cameras - combining video and audio for person detection/recognition - video-based interfaces and computer-human interaction for security Papers should be formatted using the guidelines described at the CRV'06 website and should not include any information that would indicate the author's identity (references to authors' previous work should be left blank). To submit a full paper, please email the formatted .pdf file of the paper to the Submission Chair. In the email accompanying the paper, authors must include 1) the title of the paper, 2) keywords of the paper, 3) the names and affiliations of the authors 4) the name and email of the contact author Poster/Demo Submissions: ----------------------- The rejected papers and late submissions are welcomed for submission to the workshop's Poster/Demo session. Posters/Demos papers will not be published in the Proceedings. They will however have the same exposure at the conference as other papers and will be included in the workshop website. To submit a poster/demo paper, email the extended abstract or a .pdf file of the paper to the Submission Chair. Registration and Venue: ----------------------- Thanks to CIPPRS sponsoring, the registration cost of the event is usually kept low. Student participation is encouraged by significantly discounted registration fees. Quebec city, known as little France in North America, offers the visitors a variety of effordable and interesting places to visit.
