Joint
IEEE International Workshop on
Object
Tracking and Classification Beyond the Visible Spectrum (OTCBVS’04)
Washington,
DC, USA Friday July 02, 2004
In conjunction with IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR’2004) [ProgramPDF][Welcome MessagePDF] [Keynote Speaker][Best Papers] [Scope] [Topics]
[Papers] [Authors] Developing robust computer vision algorithms for real-world applications is a major challenge today and will continue to be one for a long time. Most of existing vision-based systems designed for day and night vision in visible- infrared- and thermal-spectrum ranges are build upon fundamental blocks like object detection, tracking and classification. Original tentative of the
vision community has been focused mostly on the development of robust vision algorithms
associated with visible range sensors. In the last decade, the infrared,
thermal and other non-visible imaging sensors were used only in special areas
like medicine and military. That lower interest level in infrared imagery was due in part to the
high cost of non-visible range sensors, low image resolution, high image
noise, lack of widely available data sets, and lack of consideration of the
potential advantages of non-visible lights. These historical objections are
becoming less relevant as infrared imaging technology advances and their cost
is dropping dramatically. Image sensing devices with high dynamic range and
high IR sensitivity have started to appear in a growing number of
applications ranging from military and automotive domains to home and office
security applications. In order to develop robust and accurate
vision-based systems that operate beyond the visible spectrum, not only
existing methods and algorithms originally developed for the visible range
should be adapted, but also entirely new algorithms that consider the
potential advantages of non-visible ranges are certainly required. Worth to notice that non-visible light is
widely employed in night vision-based systems, and many detection and
recognition systems available today in the market are relying on
physiological phenomena produced by IR and thermal wavelengths. The aim of the OTCBVS
04 workshop is to bring
together pioneering academic and industrial researchers in the field of computer
vision, image analysis, pattern recognition and human computer interaction. A
special attention will be given to vision algorithms where non-visible range
sensors are employed. Also, emphasis will be placed on new and traditional
applications of IR imagery. Comparative evaluation studies across the
non-visible spectrum for a given computer vision or pattern recognition task
are encouraged Applications using non-visible range sensors from various
domains are welcome. Sensors of interest include infrared, millimeter
wave, radar, and hyper-spectral. Important Dates: ***
Deadline for camera-ready papers: April 27th 2004 ***
Topics of interests: The suggested theory and
application research areas are listed below, but other topics dealing with
non-visible range and sensors are welcome:
The object category
includes, but not limited to, human eye, face, vehicle occupant, pedestrian, vehicle, airplane, and
missiles.
Papers on theoretical aspects
like a study of physiological behavior and appearance of human eye or
human-skin in non-visible range are welcomed for submission. Registration and attendance: Participation in the workshop without submitting a paper is welcomed.
Registration fees and deadlines information can be found on the main CVPR web site. The Delphi Prize will be given to the best paper of the workshop. AUTHORS: Camera-ready
Paper Submission Camera-ready versions of accepted papers are
required by 5pm April 27th, 2004 EST. The submission is
electronic, and must be in PDF format. Papers should not exceed 8
double-column pages. The paper format must follow the standard IEEE 2-column
