Video Data Analysis

Call for posters

Be a part of it!

More than a ‘sit and listen’ day, a key feature of the Video Data Analysis seminar is our Call for Posters.  It’s free and simple to submit your abstract, and in doing so, you have the chance to be accepted to share your research in this area in the form of a poster, with everyone who attends.

A note from your chair

'Video is increasingly pervasive over increasingly wide areas. With memory becoming increasingly inexpensive and digital cameras not becoming commonplace, huge libraries of digital video are becoming commonplace. This trajectory will continue: it is realistic to imagine a future with pervasive real-time surveillance, the YouTube of today in everyone’s pocket and people relying on stored video as a surrogate for memory. The real-time analysis and mining of such video is therefore receiving increasing attention at both an applied and academic level. However, the domain is currently somewhat fragmented. For example, mature products are available for specific security applications while, in the defence arena, video from emerging high pixel-count sensors stresses state-of-the-art solutions.  Submit your abstract to Zoe Squires for a chance to share your work with the speakers and attendees of this special seminar.'

Notification of acceptance

Monday 31 October 2011

The organising committee encourages authors to submit abstracts to its call for posters focusing on:

Gathering video data

• Addressing the interconnectivity of cameras that are connected wirelessly, and as well as those that are broadband enabled
• Storing video data without losing image quality – could cloud be the next generation in video surveillance storage?

Managing data

• Handling large volumes of raw data captured by IP cameras
• Making data searchable using robust algorithms – identifying the most appropriate algorithm for the situation

Real-time search and visualisation

• Developing real-time video data searching and visualisation tools
• Combining data from different sources and ensuring its interoperability
• Enabling the sharing of data between organisations

Applications of video data analysis technologies

• Ensuring the safety of transport networks
• Developing standards for CCTV
• Using video data analysis to manage crowds – human factors, pose estimation and behavioural analysis
• Social media – the people tracking tool – tracking the virtual (iCrowd)

Submit your one page abstract (the submission template is available via the link to the left) by email to the Event Producer for this seminar, Zoe Squires.  Do call Zoe on +44 (0) 1438 76 56 33 with any queries.
