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. Therefore, there exists a huge demand for smart surveillance techniques which can perform monitoring in an automatic or semi-automatic way. A number of challenges have arisen in the area of big surveillance data analysis and processing. Firstly, with the huge amount of surveillance videos in storage, video analysis tasks such as event detection, action recognition, and video summarization are of increasing importance in applications including events-of-interest retrieval and abnormality detection. Secondly, semantic data (e.g. objects' trajectory and bounding boxes) has become an essential data type in surveillance systems owing much to the growth of its size and complexity, hence introducing new challenging topics, such as efficient semantic data processing and compression, to the community. Thirdly, with the rapid growth from the static centric-based processing to the dynamic computing among distributed video processing nodes/cameras, new challenges such as multi-camera analysis, person re-identification, or distributed video processing are being issued in front of us. To meet these challenges, there is great need to extend existing approaches or explore new feasible techniques.

This is the 4th edition of our workshop. The first three were organized in conjunction with ICME 2019 (Shanghai, China), ICME 2020 (London, UK) and ICME 2021 (Shenzhen, China)

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.
