A one day workshop to be held in conjunction with the
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:
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.
NOTE: there will also be an ICPR workshop on Underwater Imaging that might be more suitable for papers on 'fish': Underwater Imaging Workshop
On-line registration of workshops will be available via the ICPR 2014 web page. It is not necessary to register for the full conference to attend the workshop.
Submit a 4 page extended abstract in English, in PDF, by email to rbf@inf.ed.ac.uk by May 1, 2014. The extended abstracts (PDF) should be anonymous.
