IEEE Workshop on Motion and Video Computing (WMVC)

January 8-9, 2008, Copper Mountain, Colorado

Sponsored by IEEE PAMI and to be held in conjunction with IEEE Workshop
on Application of Computer Vision (WACV)

With the ubiquitous presence and availability of video data and its
increasing importance in many applications including security,
television, entertainment, and Internet, it becomes increasingly
important to perform image analysis and understanding from the video
imagery. Following the success of its predecessors, this workshop is
aimed at providing a forum for computer vision researchers to share and
demonstrate their latest research in motion, video analysis, video
computing and related areas, and to explore future directions and
applications in video and motion analysis. Like the previous workshops
on motion and video analysis, this workshops program will feature high
quality double-blind reviewed papers and posters, invited talks, panel
discussions, and demonstrations. The theme of this workshop will be
video data interpretation and understanding. While papers addressing the
traditional topics such as optical flow estimation, segmentation,
structure from motion, and motion estimation will continue to be
solicited, they must clearly demonstrate how they advance the state of
the art with quantitative comparisons with existing methods. For this
workshop, we especially welcome papers addressing the issue of video
analysis for interpretation and understanding. Article submissions are
sought on novel advances to state of the art in the areas of (not
limited to):
* Distributed multi-sensor and multitarget detection and tracking
* Human activity recognition
* Gesture and Gait analysis recognition
* Performance evaluation of video understanding systems
* Video activity modeling and recognition using graphical models
* Video retrieval
* Video for surveillance and biometrics
* Video event detection and recognition
* Extraction of Semantics from Video

Papers should be submitted electronically via the workshop website at
http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/motion08 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).
