OUR STELLAR LINE-UP OF SPEAKERS INCLUDE
 
Michel Sadelain

Michel Sadelain, MD, PhD, Director, Center for Cell Engineering; Stephen and Barbara Friedman Chair, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, USA

Dr. Sadelain's research focuses on human cell engineering and cell therapy to treat cancer and hereditary blood disorders. His group was the first to publish dramatic molecular remissions in patients with chemo refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia following treatment with CD19 CART cells.

 
Malcolm Brenner

Malcolm Brenner, MD, PhD, Founding Director, Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston Methodist Hospital, USA

Dr. Brenner has earned widespread recognition for his scientific achievements and leadership in the field of stem cell transplantation through the therapeutic use of T cell immunologic approaches and genetic engineering strategies, including the ASGCT Outstanding Achievement Award, Human Gene Therapy's Pioneer Award and the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy Outstanding Achievement award. For his contributions to the field, Dr. Brenner has been elected a member of the American Association of Medicine.

 
Stanley Riddell

WACV 2022 Call for Tutorial Proposals

WACV 2022 Call for Tutorial Proposals

Tutorials Chair: Philippos Mordohai (mordohai@cs.stevens.edu)

Proposal Deadline: October 18, 2021 [11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time]
Notification by: October 23, 2021
Submission link:  https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/WACVtutorials2022
 
We solicit proposals for tutorials to be held at the IEEE Winter Conference of Applications on Computer Vision (WACV 2022), which will be held in Waikoloa, Hawaii, on January 4-8, 2022.

Tutorials should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a specific topic related to computer vision. A good tutorial should be educational rather than just a cursory survey of techniques. The topic should be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract significant interest from the computer vision community. Typical tutorial audiences consist of graduate students studying computer vision, but also include researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. 

Proposals should be in PDF format and should include the following information:

  • Proposed title;

  • Proposers' names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches;

  • Preference for half- or full-day event;

  • Course description with list of topics to be covered, along with a brief outline and important details;

  • List of citations and/or URLs to relevant publications and products by the organizers, and to other relevant related work;

  • A description of how this proposal relates to tutorials/short courses appearing at CVPR, ICCV,  ECCV, and WACV within the last three years.

For any questions, please contact the tutorials chair.

PETS Challenge at AVSS’21


CFP: PETS2021 Int’l Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance
www.pets2021.net
 
In Cooperation with AVSS2021 (17th IEEE Int’l Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-based Surveillance)
November 16-19, 2021
Virtual
 
The 2021 International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance (PETS'21) continues the series of highly successful PETS workshops held for over twenty years (AVSS'12, WVM'13, AVSS'14, AVSS'15, CVPR'16, CVPR'17, to name some of the most recent). The goal of the PETS workshop has been to foster the emergence of methodology for performance evaluation of tracking and surveillance.  This includes development of performance evaluation metrics as well as a quantitative evaluation of tracking and surveillance results based on a common dataset. PETS 2021 is sponsored by the EU Project 
FOLDOUT.

PETS 2021 introduces a new and exciting surveillance challenge, through-foliage detection and tracking. Such an application is important for (green) border surveillance. The specific tasks addressed are (1) through-foliage detection and fragmented occlusion, and (2) long-term tracking in natural environments, both of which have been received relatively limited attention in the computer vision community. Solutions to solve these tasks are currently unavailable. The aim of this challenge is to raise awareness to these tasks in the vision community and to foster appropriate solutions. The overall border surveillance challenge has significant impact for border authorities worldwide for enhancing border security operations. A corresponding dataset is provided for this challenge which covers the two tasks described above. 

Ultimately, the workshop challenge comes down first, to accurately detecting and/or tracking person(s) present in the surveillance scene. To this end, a range of methods could be applied from change detectors to object detectors to trackers. Understanding of the temporal history of the movement of the person(s) may help in accurate localisation and tracking, especially in partially or heavily occluded scenes. Secondly, the challenge recognises that simple bounding boxes may not always be appropriate for annotating the visual extent of the detected object (person). Hence this challenge also considers alternate object representational schemes.
