Invited speakers:

We plan to have two keynote speakers, one from GIS community and another one from vision community in the morning and afternoon session respectively.

Workshop Goals:

There is a resurgence of aerial data due to novel flight platforms (e.g. Micro aerial vehicles), novel digital sensors and demanding applications such as detailed 3D models of the world on the internet. Aerial data acquired from various sensors provides new capabilities for understanding the scene structure and activities on the ground from a different viewing aspect. Today large areas in the world are being captured daily from the air in various applications, the collected aerial video data increases dramatically and an automatic information extraction process is desperately needed to interpret the data for scene and object level understanding in those applications.

The workshop continues in the vein of 1st IEEE workshop on video registration (with ICCV01) and 2nd Workshop on Image and Video Registration (with CVPR04), and broadens the research studies in all areas related to aerial video processing. The goal of this workshop is to encourage interdisciplinary interaction and collaborations from computer vision, geography, graphics, and visualization to create more applications in those domains. New results and applications will be discussed at the workshop, and specify open problems and major directions of further development in the field of aerial video processing.

Call for papers

Papers describing novel and original research are solicited in the areas related to aerial video processing and applications. Some topics include (but are certainly not limited to):

· Aerial video registration and stabilization.

· Geo-spatial applications related to aerial video.

· Aerial video archiving, indexing and retrieving.

· Structure and motion from aerial video.

· Urban modeling from aerial video

· Multi-modality aerial data fusion

· Content extraction from aerial video

· Object detection, tracking and recognition in aerial video

· Event and activity analysis of aerial video

Remember that this is a workshop, and submitted papers may or may not present ideas that do not yet have comprehensive experimental support. Papers do not necessarily have to describe fully developed algorithms or significant results (unlike most papers accepted to the primary PAMI TC conferences CVPR or ICCV). Submitted papers must follow the same format as the primary conferences. All reviews are double-blind.

Awards

The committee will award the best paper and recommend it to a book Aerial Video Processing and Applications in Springer The International Series in Video Computing. The book is currently planned to be published at the end of 2011. All workshop papers will be encouraged to submit a revised version as a book chapter.
