Computer vision has a rich history of work on visual motion, dealing with the problems of computing optical flow (2D motion) and structure from motion (3D motion and shape) using a video sequence.   Recently, in addition to these traditional problems, the motion information present in a video sequence is also being used to solve several other problems: video synthesis, video segmentation, video compression, video registration, and video surveillance and monitoring.   Computer vision is playing an important and somewhat different role in solving these problems compared to the image analysis considered in the early days of vision research. 
The purpose of this IEEE Workshop on Motion and Video Computing is to bring together researchers from several different sub-areas of motion and video computing to share innovative research results and exchange ideas. Papers are invited (max 8 pages in IEEE format) on any aspect of motion and visual computing including but not limited to: 

 
Visual Motion:
	Optical Flow and Point Correspondences
	Structure from motion
	Non-rigid and articulated motion
 
Video Surveillance and Monitoring:
	Human activity Recognition
	Gestures
	Tracking

Video Segmentation:
	Object-based spatial segmentation of video
	Temporal Segmentation of Video: 
	Shot, scene, and story detection
	Scene categorization
 
Video Registration
	Mosaics
	Geo registration
	Site Modeling
 
Video Compression
	Model and Knowledge-based compression
	Object-based compression
	Layers
 
Video Synthesis
	Image-based Rendering
	View Morphing
	Augmented Reality
