CFP : Visual analysis of animal and insect behavior ICPR'10 WS (VAIB10)

Vision List Digest: Article 8, Volume 29, Issue 2

Post-Followup: submission@VISLIST.com

A 1 day workshop to be held August 22, 2010 at the 2010 International
Conference on Pattern Recognition Istanbul, Turkey
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/vaib10.html

There has been an enormous amount of research on analysis of video data
of humans, but relatively little on visual analysis of other organisms.
The goal of this workshop is to stimulate and bring together the current
research in this area, and provide a forum for researchers to share
expertise. As we want to make this more of a discussion workshop, we
encourage work-in-progress presentations. Reviewing will be lightweight
and only abstracts will be circulated to attendees.

The issues that the research will address include:
detection of living organisms
organism tracking and movement analysis
dynamic shape analysis
classification of different organisms (eg. by subspecies)
assessment of organism behavior or behavior changes
size and shape assessment
counting
health monitoring

These problems can be applied to a variety of species at different
sizes, such as fruit and house flies, crickets, cockroaches and other
insects, farmed and wild fish, mice and rats, commercial farm animals
such as poultry, cows and horses, and wildlife monitoring, etc. One
aspect that they all have in common is video data.
