CALL FOR PAPERS for Special Section on "Intelligent Video Systems and Analytics"

The Theme: Intelligent video systems and analytics have been a substantially growing request in the past five years driven by 
applications in transportation, healthcare, etc. IMS research confirms that since 2004 the video analytics market has been a 65% annual 
compound growth and predicts the  sector will be worth £215 million in 2009.  It challenges both academic researchers and industrial 
practitioners to timely provide analytics theory and systems solutions to meet the overwhelming global need. Generally speaking, the 
challenge is twofold: though hardware of video systems have been fast-developing in the past years thanks to the introduced digital signal processors, hardware oriented issues are still demanding and unsolved especially for specific applications, system scalability, capability and real-time performance; on the other hand, algorithms-based analytics have been targeted as the breakthroughs for intelligent video systems and analytics. The state of the art in computer vision, computational intelligence has confirmed that algorithms and software will make a substantial contribution to practical solutions to video analysis and applications in the next five years. Hence, it is timely to bring the ideas, solutions of the worldwide research community into common platform, to present the latest advances and developments in embedded video systems design, compression modeling, behavior understanding, abnormal detection, real-time performance and practical implementation of intelligent video systems and analytics.  

Topics of interest of this Special Section include, but are not limited to:

Embedded multi-camera system integration/configuration/calibration
Hardware solutions for real-time video analytics
Multi-platform capability and scalability
Methodologies for networked video analytics 
Compression and bandwidth related embedded video solutions
Human motion pattern understanding, e.g., intrusion
Scene contextual information recognition
Abnormal behavior detection
Detection and tracking of suspicious objects
Context based image/video retrieval
Recognizing identity and events for distributed camera networks
Video analytics for wireless cameras and infrared cameras.
Video analytics applications such as transportation, healthcare
Intelligent robotics for video analysis
