IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-based Surveillance (AVSS) is the leading conference venue for the underlying theory, methods, systems, and applications of video and signal based surveillance. AVSS invites submissions in areas listed below, especially on cross-disciplinary and game-changing subjects. The list of topics of interest includes, but is not limited to:

SENSOR-CENTRIC PROCESSING:
Sensors (visible/infrared/3D/mm wave/audio/radio, etc.)
Ground, airborne, satellite based (fixed/mobile /UAV)
Crowdsourcing (cellular/social networks)
Calibration and positioning (GPS, etc.)
Communications and networked sensing
Distributed camera networks and smart cameras
Participatory sensing
PROCESSING, DETECTION, TRACKING & RECOGNITION:
Modelling and feature selection
Detection and estimation (change/motion/anomaly/saliency/pattern)
Data association and (multi) target tracking
Classification and recognition
Multi-modal fusion
VISUALIZATION AND INTERACTION CONCEPTS FOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
Compression and summarization
Archival, search and retrieval
Human-computer interfaces
Visualization algorithms
Mobile and distributed interaction
ANALYTICS, SITUATION AWARENESS & DECISION MAKING
Activity/interaction analysis and monitoring
Intention estimation and situation awareness
Crowdsourcing-based methods
Cognitive dynamic systems and bio-inspired methods
SECURITY & PRIVACY
Data authenticity
Privacy in surveillance
Attacks on surveillance vulnerabilities
Forensics
Biometrics (standoff, multi-modal, voice, etc.)
Cybersecurity for surveillance (wireless, network, computer)
Advanced biometrics at a distance
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS
Hardware and software architectures
Research prototypes
Simulators
Civilian, industrial, and military
Transportation (road, rail, air, maritime)
Performance evaluation
Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality full papers representing original results in all areas of video and signal-based surveillance. Submissions and final papers are limited to 6 pages in double-column IEEE format, including figures, tables, and references . Accepted papers are published in the conference proceedings that will be also available in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
