First ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC-07) September 25-28, 2007 Vienna, Austria

Call for Papers

Scope

Distributed smart cameras combine techniques from computer vision, distributed processing, and embedded computing. Technological advances in the design of sensors and processors have facilitated the development of efficient embedded vision-based techniques. Distributed algorithms can provide more confident deductions about the events of interest or reduce ambiguities in a view caused by occlusion or other factors. Because they operate in real time, a variety of smart environment applications can be enabled based on the development of efficient architectures and algorithms for distributed vision networks.

The conference aims to provide an opportunity for researchers working in the areas of smart camera architectures, algorithm design, embedded vision-based processing, and smart environments to exchange their most recent results. Offering insight into the potentials and challenges of distributed vision networks and presentation of design methodologies employed by leading research groups working in these areas are also the objectives of the conference. Presentations accompanied by demonstrations and contributions based on industrial applications are also of interest. Topics

* Smart camera architectures * Image sensing techniques for smart cameras * Embedded vision programming * Fusion of vision and other sensors * Distributed vision processing algorithms * Distributed appearance modeling * Collaborative feature extraction, data and decision fusion * Architectures and protocols for camera networks * Wireless and mobile image senor networks * Position discovery and middleware applications * Vision-based smart environments * Surveillance and tracking applications * Multi-view vision for human-computer interaction * 3D scene analysis * Distributed multimedia and gaming applications
