Frontiers in Image
Objectives
The workshop is intended to establish a better understanding of the state of the art in algorithms being developed in academia that can support forensic analysis and identification in large volumes of images and videos (e.g., multimedia). It is anticipated that this workshop will identify those video and image analysis problems which are: (1) Considered "solved" (i.e., ready to deploy in specific operational scenarios): (2) Nearly "solved" (i.e., 1-to-3 years to deployment); and (3) "Over-the-Horizon" problems (i.e., those requiring concerted effort over the next 3-5 years and beyond). The list of topics to be discussed include,
- Video summarization, shot detection and/or scene change detection
- Geolocation of large-scale imagery
- Image-based biometrics
- Human in the loop surveillance system
- Re-identification of persons and vehicles in images and videos
- Human activity recognition
- Semantic summarization
- Large-scale visual recognition
- Datasets and performance evaluation for Research in Large-Scale Video and Image Content Analysis
The outcome of the workshop will be a report detailing the conclusions and recommendations made by the participants regarding the state of the art in image and video analysis.
