Location

Tucson, AZ, USA

Submission Deadline

Dec 04, 2024

Call for Papers

Computer vision methods trained on public databases demonstrate performance drift when deployed for

real-world surveillance, compared to their initial results on the test set of those employed databases. In this

workshop, we are interested in papers reporting their experimental results on any application of computer

vision in real-world surveillance, challenges they have faced, and their mitigation strategy on topics like,

but not limited to:

• Object detection

• Tracking

• Anomaly detection

• Scene understanding

• Super-resolution

• Multi-modal surveillance

Furthermore, the workshop has a special attention to legal and ethical issues of computer vision applications in

real-world scenarios. We therefore also welcome papers describing their methodology and experimental results on

legal matters (like GDPR, AI Act, and US Executive Order on AI) or ethical concerns (like detecting bias towards

gender, race, or other characteristics and mitigating strategies). The workshop also hosts a competition on human

pose estimation and pose tracking.
