will present research papers in any area related to visual surveillance. 
Possible research topics include but are not limited to:

		Background and environment modelling
		Object tracking and classification
		Behaviour analysis and recognition
		Biometric identification
		Image sequence classification
		Image database annotation and searching
		Wide area surveillance
		Camera networks and data fusion
