With the recent advancements in the analysis of digital video, it is now becoming possible to look for high-level semantic events in video. The detection of such events is important in a variety of applications including surveillance, vision-based human-computer interaction, and content-based retrieval. The automatic detection of events, however, is a challenging problem, involving the detection and recognition of objects, actions, and their inter-relationships. Moreover, events are often multi-modal requiring the gathering of evidence from information available in multiple media sources such as video and audio. Even with the best techniques for visual or audio scene analysis, event detection using the individual cues will continue to possess robustness problems due to detection errors. This makes the problem of localizing events through multi-modal fusion difficult using the conflicting indications given by the individual cues. This workshop is being organized to bring together researchers working on one or more aspects of event detection and recognition in digital video, that have been facing the above challenges. Original papers are solicited in, but not restricted to, the following topics:

·         Object detection, recognition and tracking.

·         Action recognition.

·         Activity recognition.

·         Auditory event detection.

·         Audio-visual event detection.

·         Multi-modal/multi-sensor  fusion techniques.

·         Applications of event detection in areas such as surveillance, human computer interaction, content-based retrieval, etc.
