Workshop on Camera Networks

Large networks of video cameras are being installed in a number of application domains, such as security and surveillance, environmental monitoring, and disaster response. Scene analysis using camera networks builds upon a number of sub-areas of computer vision, but has its own unique challenges, among them the ability to integrate information over a wide area, cooperation between cameras, active control of the network, and robustness to network constraints. The First IEEE Workshop on Camera Networks is being organized with the goal of providing a venue for researchers working on various aspects of camera networks to present their work, exchange ideas and identify future problems in this fast developing area.
