Introduction

With the rapid growth of video surveillance applications and services, the amount of surveillance videos has become extremely "big" which makes human monitoring tedious and difficult. At the same time, new issues concerning privacy and security have also arised. Therefore, there exists a huge demand for smart and secure surveillance techniques which can perform monitoring in an automatic way. Firstly, the huge abundance of video surveillance data in storage gives rise to the importance of video analysis tasks such as event detection, action recognition, video summarization including person re-identification and anomaly detection. Secondly, with the rich abundance of semantics and the multimodality of data extracted from surveillance videos, it is now essential for the community to tackle new challenges, such as efficient multimodal data processing and compression. Thirdly, with the rapid shift from static singular processing to dynamic collaborative computing, it is now vital to consider distributed and multi-camera video processing on edge- and cloud-based cameras, and at the same time, offering privacy-preserving considerations to safeguard the data. This workshop aims challenge the multimedia community towards extending existing approaches or exploring brave and new ideas.

This is the 5th edition of our workshop. The first three were organized in conjunction with ICME 2019 (Shanghai, China), ICME 2020 (London, UK), ICME 2021 (Shenzhen, China) and ICME 2022 (Taipei, Taiwan ROC)

Scope & Topics

This workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and engineers to present their latest innovations and share their experiences on all aspects of design and implementation of new surveillance video analysis and processing techniques. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

  • Action/activity recognition, and event detection in surveillance videos
  • Object detection and tracking in surveillance videos
  • Multi-camera surveillance networks and applications
  • Surveillance scene parsing, segmentation, and analysis
  • Crowd parsing, estimation and analysis
  • Person, group or object or re-identification
  • Summarization and synopsis of surveillance videos
  • Big Data processing in large-scale surveillance systems
  • Distributed, edge and fog computing for surveillance systems
  • Data compression in surveillance systems
  • Low-resolution video analysis and processing: Recognition and object detection, restoration, denoising, enhancement, super-resolution
  • Surveillance from multiple modalities, not limited to: UAVs, satellite imagery, dash cams, wearables.

PEYMAN MOGHADAM

Environmental Intelligence Unleashed: Harnessing the Power of Robot Teams

Biodata: Dr. Peyman Moghadam is a Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO Data61, Adjunct Professor at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), and Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Queensland (UQ). He is leading the Embodied AI research cluster at the CSIRO Robotics and Autonomous Systems group working at Intersection of Robotics and Machine learning. As the leader of Spatiotemporal portfolio at CSIRO's Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (MLAI) Future Science Platform, Dr Moghadam also oversees research and development of MLAI methods for scientific discovery in spatiotemporal data streams. Before joining CSIRO, Peyman worked in a number of world leading organisations such as the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories (Germany) and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (Singapore). Dr Moghadam has led several large-scale multidisciplinary projects and won numerous awards for his innovations, including CSIRO Julius Career award, National, and Queensland iAward for Research and Development, and the Lord Mayor’s Budding Entrepreneurs Award. In 2019, he held a Visiting Scientist appointment at the Agricultural Robotics and Engineering group at the University of Bonn, as part of the CSIRO Julius Career Award. His current research interests include self-supervised learning for robotics, embodied AI, 3D multi-modal perception (3D++), robotics, computer vision, deep learning, and 3D thermal/hyperspectral imaging.
