2017 14th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance (AVSS)

AVSS focuses on underlying theory, methods, systems, and applications of surveillance and invites submissions in areas listed below, especially cross-disciplinary and game-changing ones. The list of topics of interest includes, but is not limited to:

Sensor-Centric Processing:

• Sensors (visible/infrared/3D/mm wave/audio/radio,etc.)  

• Ground, airborne, satellite based  (fixed/mobile/UAV)

• Crowdsourcing (cellular, social networks)  

• Calibration and positioning (GPS, etc.)

• Communications and networked sensing

• Distributed Camera Networks and Smart Cameras

Processing, Detection, Tracking & Recognition:

• Modeling and feature selection  

• Detection and estimation (change, motion, anomaly, saliency, pattern)  

• Data association and (multi) target tracking

• Classification and recognition

• Multi-modal fusion

Visualization And Interaction Concepts For Surveillance Systems

• Compression and summarization

• Archival, search and retrieval

• Human-computer interfaces

• isualization algorithms

• Mobile and distributed interaction

Analytics, Situation Awareness & Decision Making

• Activity/interaction analysis and monitoring

• Intention estimation and situation

• awareness  

• Crowdsourcing-based methods

• Cognitive dynamic systems and bio-

• inspired methods

Security & Privacy

• Data authenticity  

• Privacy in surveillance

• Forensics  

• Biometrics (standoff, multi-modal,

• voice, etc.)  

• Cybersecurity for surveillance (wireless, network, computer)

• Advanced Biometric at a Distance

Surveillance Systems And Applications

• Hardware and software architectures  

• Research prototypes  

• Simulators  

• Civilian, industrial, and military
