International Workshop on Analysis and Retrieval of Tracked Events and Motion in Imagery Streams

Cognitive video supervision and event analysis in video sequences is a critical task in many multimedia applications. Methods, tools and algorithms that aim to detect and recognize high level concepts and their respective spatio-temporal and causal relations in order to identify semantic video activities, actions and procedures have been in the focus of the research community over the last years.
This research area has strong impact on many real-life multimedia applications based on a semantic characterization and annotation of video streams in various domains (e.g., sports, news, documentaries, movies and surveillance), either broadcast or user-generated videos. Although a first critical issue is the estimation of quantitative parameters describing where events are detected, recent trends are facing the analysis of multimedia footage by applying image and video understanding techniques to that detected/tracked motion.
