Visual observation and analysis of Vertebrate And Insect Behavior 2022


A one day workshop to be held in conjunction with the

26th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2022)
Montreal, Canada
August 21, 2022

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), 2020 (Milan/online),

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 Sunday August 21, 2021.

The draft program follows. The workshop will be virtual. The provisional timings of the presentations are below. All times are for Montreal, which will be in UTC-4 during ICPR 2022. Delegates who register for VAIB22 should receive a Zoom link from the conference organizers.
