Introduction. Advances in Computer Vision can provide many useful solutions for Security and Biometrics industry, in particular in the area, which has become of prime importance recently - the Processing of Video.
With this in mind, the First International Workshop on Video Processing for Security (VP4S-06) is organized as an extension of the past Workshops on Face Processing in Video: FPiV'04 (held jointly with CVPR'04) and FPiV'05 (held jointly with CRV'05) with its interest extended from face detection, tracking, recognition, coding etc. to people, objects, scene and action detection, tracking and recognition etc.
The focus of the VP4S-06 workshop remains dealing with video data, in particular such as coming from TV, surveillance cameras or web/PDA cameras, while the main theme of the workshop is shifted towards security-related applications.
As such, the VP4S-06 workshop is to provide both a market-driven inspiration for Computer Vision scientists, and the references to the related academic computer-vision work for the Security and Biometrics industry
Submission and reviewing procedure: two-tier archival system
This workshop aims at both i) distinguishing the papers that contribute significantly to the advances in the area and ii) providing the forum for discussing and presenting the results for students, researchers and industries. To achieve both of these goals, the workshop uses a two-tier submission procedure.
Tier I submissions: submission and reviewing process
For the Tier I, the original full-size (not more than 8 pages) papers written analyzing video in the context of security applications are welcomed for submission. Each Tier I submission will be reviewed by three Program Committee members. Reviewing is double blind (author don't know the reviewers, reviewers don't know the authors). The goal is to have as vigorous and fair reviewing of all papers as possible.
The Tier I accepted papers will be presented at the oral session and published by IEEE as part of the CRV'06 Proceedings both in hardcopy (to be distributed at the CRV'06 conference) and electronically (archived into the IEEE Computer Society's digital library and the IEEE's XPlore and IEL digital libraries and indexed through the INSPEC indexing service). Deadline for Tier I submissions is February 12, 2006.
For the Tier II, the workshop invites submissions that are not or may not be accepted for IEEE publishing. This includes late full papers, posters, demos, student projects reports, industrial projects presentations submissions etc. There are no restrictions on the size of the Tier II submissions.
The Tier II accepted submissions will be presented at the poster session and will be published at the conference web-site archived by the CIPPRS.
The suggested topics are listed below:
- all aspects of surveillance and monitoring
- faces in video: tracking, detecting, memorizing and recognizing faces in video
- people in video: tracking and backtracking people in video, pedestrians
- objects in video: searching and tracking, vehicles
- scene and activity in video: detection and annotation
- video-based alarm systems and video for crime prevention
- making video more intelligent
- multiple-person and gang tracking
- multi-camera people tracking
- video for biometrics, soft- and hard- biometrics from video
- face biometrics, modeling, and models
- facial expression recognition and classification, and representation
- combining video data with other sensor data: range, photo, fingerprints
- video over internet, issues related to privacy of video
- performance evaluation for face in video problems
- video-based benchmarks and databases
- processing of video from stereo and panoramic cameras
- combining video and audio for person detection/recognition
- video-based interfaces and computer-human interaction for security
- analyzing multiplexed video, demultiplexing of video
- improving quality of video: anti-aliasing and super-resolution

Workshop proceedings. The Tier I selected papers will be published by IEEE as part of the CRV'06 Proceedings both in hardcopy (to be distributed at the CRV'05 conference) and electronically (archived into the IEEE Computer Society's digital library and the IEEE's XPlore and IEL digital libraries and indexed through the INSPEC indexing service). - See Tier I submissions procedure.
The Tier II accepted submissions will be published online at the CIPPRS-sponsored workshop web-site. - See Tier II submissions procedure.
Workshop Layout. Following the layout of its predecessors, the VP4S-06 workshop will be held as a Special Session of the CRV'06 conference and will consist of an oral section, where the papers accepted for IEEE publication will be presented, and an poster/demo session, which will be held concurrently with the poster session of joint conferences (AI'06, GI'06, CRV'06), where other Tier II accepted submissions will be presented.
Registration
Who can attend: Participation in the workshop without submitting a paper is welcomed. - For a single registration fee, the workshop participants will also be able to attend the joint conferences. Conversely, the FPiV'05 Workshop is open to all AI/GI/CRV'2006 attendees. Student participation is encouraged by significantly discounted registration fees.
About venue: Quebec city, known as little France in North America, offers the visitors a variety of affordable and interesting places to visit.
