IEEE AVSS 2016 Workshop on
Surveillance for Location-aware Data Protection

Workshop URL: http://www.jventura.net/ldp16

Workshop Date: Tuesday, August 23, 2016

Paper Submission Deadline: Tuesday, July 12, 2016

Workshop Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

Co-located with IEEE Advanced Video and Signal-based Surveillance 2016

++++++++++++++++++++++++++ About the Workshop +++++++++++++++++++++++++

Location-aware data protection refers to finding ways to control access
by location -- for example, specifying that a file can only be opened
if the user's device is inside the building, or the medical terminal
can only be used if an authorized staff member is standing in front of
the computer. This workshop will bring together researchers in video-
and signal-based surveillance and data privacy to address challenges
such as:

- Cross-validation of presence in location from multiple signal sources
(e.g. GPS, cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and webcams/surveillance video).
- Location accuracy/adjustment based on fusion/cross-validation of
multiple signal sources.
- Access control based on location.
- Data protection based on location with verification, e.g. for HIPPA
enforcement.
- High accuracy geo-fencing service, e.g. to improve accuracy in
tracking animals or people within specified areas.
- Privacy-preserving group member location service within an
organization, e.g. enabling staff to locate a manager or students in an
emergency situation.
- Location tracking across wireless / camera networks (hand-off between
beacons
/ cameras)
- Comparison / fusion of inside-out approaches (radio / camera
self-localization) and outside-in approaches (detection / localization
in radio / camera networks)
