Call for participation

AVSS is the IEEE conference series on video and signal based surveillance. AVSS was started in 1998 (Genoa, Italy). Following meetings were held in 2001 (
Kingston, UK), in 2003 (Miami, USA), in 2005 (Como, Italy), and in 2006 (Sydney, Australia). AVSS 2007 will be held in London on 5-7 September 2007. AVSS is a forum of reference for the field and offers the opportunity to meet and foster collaboration. AVSS has a tradition of participation from the worlds of research, industry, and relevant government agencies. AVSS welcomes contributions in traditional disciplines such as signal processing, image and video processing, audio processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision, and it also gives unique emphasis to cross-disciplinary and visionary papers.

We are pleased to announce that AVSS 2007 will feature the following keynote and overview talks:

Keynote talks
1. Looking at people (Dariu Gavrila, Daimler Chrysler Research & Technology and University of Amsterdam)
2. A journey from signal processing to surveillance (Tsuhan Chen, Carnegie Mellon University)
3. Computer-aided facial reconstruction from skulls (Peter Tu, GE Global Research)
4. Stereo vision and segmentation (Andrew Blake, Microsoft Research)
