Dear Colleague	

This year the IEEE International Workshop on Visual Surveillance will be
held in conjunction with CVPR in Minneapolis on Friday 22nd June 2007. 	

Despite the extraordinary progress in real-time processing of CCTV image
streams, there are a number of significant methodological challenges
which must be met if automatic interpretation systems are to be
effective. These challenges include segmenting and tracking individuals
in crowded scenes; the ability to characterize threat; reducing the
number of false alarms; automatic learning of human-oriented scene
structure; and semantic linkage between networks of cameras and other
sensors. To address these challenges, contributions are particular
welcome in the following areas: 	

*	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
*	Camera calibration
*	Performance evaluation
