AVSS is the premier annual international conference in the field of video and signal-based
surveillance that brings together experts from academia, industry, and government to advance
theories, methods, systems, and applications related to surveillance. AVSS is sponsored by the
IEEE and, in particular, by its two societies, the Signal Processing Society (IVMSP TC) and the IEEE
Computer Society (PAMI TC).
AVSS will celebrate its 11th anniversary in Seoul in 2014. It has been steadily growing in
both stature and attendance, from about 70 attendees in 1998 (Genova, Italy) to 125 in 2010
(Boston, USA), 140 in 2011 (Klagenfurt, Austria), and about 200 in 2013 (Krakow, Poland). A
strong attendance is expected in Seoul in 2014. AVSS focuses on underlying theory, methods,
systems, and applications of surveillance and invites submissions in areas listed below, especially
cross-disciplinary and game-changing ones. 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
Data Management & Human-Computer Interaction

Compression and summarization

Archival, search and retrieval

Human-computer interfaces

Visualization algorithms

Mobile and distributed interaction
Security and Privacy

Data authenticity

Biometrics (standoff, multi-modal, voice, etc.)

Cybersecurity for surveillance (wireless,
network, computer)

Processing, Detection, Tracking & Recognition

Modeling and feature selection

Detection and estimation (change,
motion, anomaly, saliency, pattern)

Data association and (multi) target
tracking

Classification and recognition

Multi-modal fusion
Analytics, Situation Awareness & Decision
Making


Performance evaluation

Paper Submission
Original contributions in any of the above (or related) areas are being solicited. Prospective authors are
invited to submit full-length papers, up to 6 pages long, including results, figures, tables and references by
the due date (see below). Detailed submission instructions will be posted on Paper Submission page in due
time. Each submission will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at least two experts. The conference
proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore digital library.
Call for Workshops
AVSS-2014 will host workshops on August 26, 2014 prior to the technical program of the conference.
Prospective organizers are invited to submit workshop proposals by February 14, 2014. Detailed
instructions regarding workshop proposal preparation and submission can be found on the Call for
Workshops page.
