VideoRec'07: The First International Workshop on
Video Processing and Recognition
May 28-30, Montreal, Canada,
Marriott Chateau Champlain
http://www.computer-vision.org/VideoRec07
In conjunction with:
Canadian Conference on Computer & Robot Vision (CRV'07),
Artificial Intelligence (AI'07), Computer Graphics (GI'07)
and Precarn Intelligent Systems (Precarn IS'07) conferences
Aims:
The first international Workshop on Video Processing and Recognition
is organized in response to the ubiquitous presence and availability
of video data and its increasing importance in many applications
including security, television, entertainment, and Internet. The
workshop is aimed at providing a forum for computer vision researchers
to share and demonstrate their latest research in video processing and
recognition and, hence, producing a collection of high-quality
computer vision papers contributing to the development of video data
processing analysis and recognition. The VideoRec07 workshop is
organized as a follow-up of past Workshops on Video Processing: Video
Processing for Security (VP4S-06), 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, action and event detection,
tracking and recognition, etc.. The VideoRec07 workshop focuses
entirely on processing and analyzing video data for the purpose
recognition and understanding of the target, people, and events, from
such sources as TV, surveillance cameras or web/PDA cameras. The
workshop will consist of one day of oral and poster presentations and
is open to all attendees of the joint conferences: AI'07, GI'07,
CRV'07. The papers accepted for the workshop will be published by
IEEE as part of the CRV'07 Proceedings, the electronic version of
which will be distributed at the CRV'07 conference. The workshop
proceedings will also be automatically archived into the IEEE Computer
Society's digital library and the IEEE's XPlore and IEL digital
libraries and indexed through the INSPEC indexing service.
Full paper submission & review:
Original full-size papers written in English analyzing video for
recognition and understanding are welcomed for submission. 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
- people in video: tracking and backtracking people in video
- searching for objects in video
- scene and activity detection and annotation
- video-based alarm systems and video for crime prevention
- video for surveillance
- video for biometrics, soft- and hard- biometrics from video
- making video more intelligent
- multiple-person and gang tracking
- multi-camera people tracking
- combining video data with other sensor data: range, photo, fingerprints
- video over internet, issues related to privacy of video
- face biometrics, modeling, and models
- facial expression recognition and classification, and representation
- performance evaluation for face in video problems
- video-based benchmarks and databases
- processing of video from stereo and panoramic cameras
- rigid and non-rigid 3D motion estimation from video
- combining video and audio for person detection/recognition
- video-based interfaces and computer-human interaction for security
- analyzing multiplexed video, demultiplexing of video
- video event detection and recognition
- video database mining
- improving quality of video: anti-aliasing and super-resolution
Papers should be submitted electronically via the workshop website at
http://www.computer-vision.org/VideoRec07
and follow the instructions there. They should not include any
information that would indicate the author's identity (references to
authors' previous work should be left blank).
Tier 2 Submission:
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 thus have however the same
exposure to the attendees of all joint conferences as other workshop
papers, and will be included on the workshop website. To submit a
poster/demo paper, email extended abstract or .pdf file of the paper
to the Workshop Chairs by the Tier 2 Submission due date.
Important dates:
January 12 - Tier 1 submissions
March 6-Notification of acceptance/rejection sent
March 21-Final paper due
April 10-Tier 2 submission due
May 28-30- Workshop is held
Registration and Venue:
Registration to the workshop entitles one to attend all other joint
conferences, and vice versa. Student participation is encouraged by
significantly discounted registration fees. Participation in the
workshop without submitting a paper is welcomed. For a single
registration fee, the workshop participants will also be able to
attend the joint conferences. As the second largest city in Canada,
Montreal offers the visitors a variety of affordable and interesting
places to visit.
