Visual observation and analysis of Vertebrate And Insect Behavior 2020


A one day workshop to be held in conjunction with the

25th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2020)
Milan, Italy / online
January 11, 2021

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.

Previous versions of VAIB are here: 2008 (Tampa), 2010 (Istanbul), 2012 (Tsukuba), 2014 (Stockholm), 2016 (Cancun), 2018 (Beijing),

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.

Program

The workshop will be held on Monday January 11, 2021 using ZOOM. The link into the workshop is HERE. Please note that all times are in UTC+1 (Italy) time.
