(in conjunction with ICCV'98)
Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India
2 January 1998
Visual Surveillance concerns the analysis and understanding of dynamic scenes. It is a major application of computer vision and is of great importance for security, law enforcement, military applications, intelligent transportation systems, remote sensing, etc. Surveillance cameras are installed all around us, for example along major roads, in city centres, in shops, at airports and at railway and bus stations. By analyzing information from such cameras it is possible to monitor, understand and hence control activities in large, complex and spatially distributed regions.
The response to the Call for Papers was very encouraging and the quality of the submitted papers was generally high. Each paper was reviewed by at least two members of the Programme Committee. In total we received 53 papers of which only 12 have been accepted for presentation at the workshop.
We are confident that workshop participants will find the papers interesting and intriguing. Registration information for the workshop may be found at http://secure.computer.org/conf/iccv/register.htm
We look forward to meeting you at the Workshop in Bombay!
