One Day BMVA technical meeting in London, UK, on 15th May 2013
Chair: Toby Breckon (Cranfield University)

The ubiquitous and pervasive nature of modern mobile computing, in the form of smart phones, tablets and even low-footprint embedded systems in on-vehicle/autonomous deployment, has led to a vibrant new arena for focussed computer vision research. This is coupled both with increasing mobile sensing quality and increased connectivity for cloud-enabled applications and alike.
This development creates both interesting opportunities and challenges for computer vision research looking at issues such as real-time and low-power processing techniques, the potential integration of secondary sensor information (motion, GPS, audio etc.) and the use of alternative processing models utilizing both local device capabilities and additional on-line processing. Present research in such areas is set against the backdrop of a range of new
application domains with an unprecedented mainstream consumer user base readily available.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers and
practitioners, from both industry and academia, interested in all
aspects of mobile computer vision - both within consumer devices, autonomous/embedded systems and novel deployment domains. Submissions are invited for approaches using aspects of mobile computer vision or general techniques shown to be suitable for mobile use within in the general following areas:
- feature extraction and representation approaches
- object detection, tracking and recognition
- people, face and gesture tracking + human computer interface
- multi-modal sensor fusion
- generalised video analysis
- computational photography
- vision for quality assurance, medical diagnosis, etc.
- vision for enhanced visualization and graphics
- novel applications and deployment
- autonomous systems applications, remote sensor use
Other topics within any area of mobile-type applications for computer
vision, image processing or image analysis will also be considered for
inclusion.
Please submit an extended summary of about one A4-sized page length (no longer than 2 pages) in length (PDF format only). Send
contributions by email attachment (1Mb max please) to Toby Breckon
(toby.breckon@cranfield.ac.uk ) by 7th March 2013.
