Call for Papers
Computer vision methods trained on public databases demonstrate performance drift when deployed for
real-world surveillance, compared to their initial results on the test set of those employed databases. In this
workshop, we are interested in papers reporting their experimental results on any application of computer
vision in real-world surveillance, challenges they have faced, and their mitigation strategy on topics like,
but not limited to:
• Object detection
• Tracking
• Anomaly detection
• Scene understanding
• Super-resolution
• Multi-modal surveillance
Furthermore, the workshop has a special attention to legal and ethical issues of computer vision applications in
real-world scenarios. We therefore also welcome papers describing their methodology and experimental results on
legal matters (like GDPR, AI Act, and US Executive Order on AI) or ethical concerns (like detecting bias towards
gender, race, or other characteristics and mitigating strategies). The workshop also hosts a competition on human
pose estimation and pose tracking.
