ICPR Workshop

The focus of the Workshop is on distributed computing issues in large scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms and applications, systems design techniques and tools, in-network signals and information processing). Aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different communities (such as Computer Vision, networked embedded sensing, artificial intelligence and so on) all addressing the problem of interpretation of the information coming from multiple distributed sensing systems.
It is the natural evolution of the previous AMMCSS Workshops, with the generalization to multiple distributed sensing instead of only multi-camera systems.
The previous Workshop (held in conjunction with AVSS 2013) was very attractive, with a good attendance of the participants at the main Conference.
The presence of this workshop at ICPR is expected to attract researchers to a multiple distributed sensing domain that will play a central role in future technology (ambient intelligence, surveillance for security, sportive application, social intelligence, etc.). We would like to invite original research papers describing significant results by using multiple distributed sensing for monitoring and surveillance purposes.
