Call for papers
The IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-Based Surveillance (AVSS) is a forum bringing together participants from the worlds of research, industry and government agencies sharing interest in various forms of surveillance. It was previously held in Genoa, Italy (2009), Santa Fe, USA (2008), London, UK (2007) and Sydney, Australia (2006).
It is financially and technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (PAMI TC) and IEEE Signal Processing Society (IVMSP TC), with in-kind contributions from Boston University.
AVSS focuses on underlying theory, methods, systems, and applications of surveillance and welcomes contributions in areas listed below; cross-disciplinary and game-changing contributions are of particular interest. The list of topics of interest includes, but is not limited to:
Sensors & data fusion- Sensor networks
- Microphone arrays
