CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS – WACV 2022
http://wacv2022.thecvf.com/

We invite workshop proposals for the 2022 IEEE Winter Conference of
Applications on Computer Vision (WACV 2022). WACV 2022 will be held as
an in-person conference with associated in-person workshops in Waikoloa,
Hawaii, January 4-8, 2022.

The workshop proposals should focus on topics related to computer vision
and its applications, interdisciplinary themes with other scientific and
application areas, as well as emerging challenges or competitions. The
format, style, and content of accepted workshops are under the control
of the workshop organizers and largely autonomous from the main
conference. Workshop organizers are expected to manage their technical
programs, invite experts in the domain, and maintain a website for the
workshop. Workshop registration and logistics will be handled by the
main conference.

*** Important Dates ***
Workshop proposal deadline: August 16th, 2021
Workshop acceptance notification: August 23rd, 2021

*** Submission Instructions ***
Proposals should clearly specify the following:

  + Workshop title, topic and tentative call for papers
  + Motivation, impact, and expected outcomes
  + Brief bios of organizers (including email and web pages)
  + Tentative program committee
  + Format (select either half or full day) and preliminary schedule
  + Tentative invited speakers
  + Estimated number of submissions and attendees
  + Plans (if any) for a special journal issue or book

Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF via email to the Workshops
Co-Chairs (vitomir.struc@fe.uni-lj.si and betke@bu.edu). Proposals will
be evaluated by the workshop chairs and conference organizers, with an
eye towards selecting high-quality workshops on a diverse set of topics
that will inform and inspire the community.

About IWDSC
================================================================
Smart camera networks are becoming a fundamental piece of our intelligent cities, buildings, and homes, progressively inserting themselves into our lives. From smart surveillance systems composed of a multitude of smart camera nodes to small wearable cameras able to render a visual log of our daily experience, these devices interact with each other and with a wealth of other smart things, and of course the internet. Their rapid development is possible thanks to the convergence of several technologies. From advanced image sensors and vision chips to embedded vision systems capable of efficient feature extraction, image encoding and wireless transmission of the relevant visual content: This technology opens the door to new application domains, where video analytics and the extraction of semantic information from the scene is performed in a distributed fashion, implementing a new type of cooperative and/or collaborative vision. 

The IWDSC team has previously organized 12 editions of the International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC) with ACM as an international forum to discuss recent advances and open issues in these topics.
