                THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                   3rd IEEE International Workshop on
           Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance

				PETS'2002

 	              (in conjunction with ECCV'02)

                                June 1 2002 
                            Copenhagen Denmark

SCOPE:

PETS2002 continues the theme of the highly successful PETS2000 and
PETS2001 workshops held at IEEE FG'2000 and IEEE CVPR'01 respectively.

The theme is performance evaluation of tracking and surveillance.

The growth in the development of the field has not been met with
complementary systematic performance evaluation of developed techniques. 
It is especially difficult to make comparisons between algorithms if they
have been tested on different datasets under widely varying conditions.

The PETS workshop series is unique in that all participants are testing
algorithms on the same datasets.

The aims of the workshop are several-fold:

	* to bring together researchers interested in the area
	  of visual suveillance
	* to apply different algorithms to the same dataset(s) to evaluate
	  the differences between different models and algorithms
	* to discuss which criteria should be used for objective 
	  evaluation
	* to discuss how to document the performance (including accuracy)
	  of visual surveillance algorithms
	* to discuss the development of a methodology for testing 
	  algorithms
	* to discuss the ongoing development of a testbed and guidelines
	  for performing empirical comparative tests.
