Aims & Scope:
The scope of Object Tracking and Classification in and Beyond the Visible Spectrum workshop series (OTCBVS) encompasses many disciplines, including visible, infrared, far infrared, millimeter wave, microwave, radar, synthetic aperture radar, and electrooptical sensors as well as the very dynamic topics of image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition. It is a fertile area for growth in both research analysis and experimentation and includes both civilian and military applications. The availability of ever improving computer resources and continuing improvement in sensor performance have given great impetus to this field of research. This technology ”push” has been balanced by a technology ”pull” resulting from increasing demand from potential users of this technology including both military and civilian entities as well as needs arising from the growing field of homeland security. This series of OTCBVS workshops creates connections between different communities in the machine vision world ranging from public research institutes to private, military, and medical laboratories. It brings together pioneering academic, industrial and military researchers and engineers in the field of computer vision, image analysis, pattern recognition, signal processing, sensors, and human-computer interaction.
Topics:
The OTCBVS'09 solicits original contributions where nonvisible
sensors from various domains are employed. However, we also encourage the submission of high quality papers that deal with object
tracking and classification in the visible spectrum. Comparative evaluation studies across the non-visible spectrum for a given computer vision
or pattern recognition task are also encouraged.
Topics of interested in OTCBVS'09 include:
Algorithms
- Target classification
- Feature extraction and matching
- utomatic object detection
- Object tracking
- Face recognition in IR & thermal images
Sensors
- Smart systems/sensors
- Combining visible & non-visible signals
- Information fusion from disparate sensors
- Enhanced detection/tracking/recognition performance using fusion
- Vision augmentation enabling system concepts and components
Applications
- Medical applications
- Military application
- Automotive applications
- Driver vision enhancement systems
- Avionics systems with augmented vision
