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.

This workshop seeks original high innovative research in the area of cognitive
systems devoted to image and video understanding in multiple domains. The goals
of this workshop are: (i) fundamental research in the area of multimedia, in the
scope of detecting/identifying high level concepts, actions, events and
procedures in video streams; (ii) robust solutions to targeted problems of high
impact in real-life multimedia applications; and (iii) ongoing research/progress
on national and international research projects.

Papers of this workshop are encouraged to address a wide range of topics related
to image and video understanding for event detection in video streams; these
topics include (but are not limited to):

# Ontology-based event and human motion mining, indexing, browsing and retrieval;
# Methods for robust detection of semantic concepts in video streams;
# Annotation of events and human motion and activity in large-scale multimedia
content;
# Semantic and event-based summarization, matching and retrieval of monitored
video footage;
# Identification of spatio-temporal, causal and contextual relations of human
events;
# Enhancement of events analysis based on attention models or
multiscale/multisource data fusions;
# Event- and context-oriented relevance feedback algorithms;
# Strategies for context learning (background scene and its regions, objects and
agents);
# Scene, region and object categorization in human-populated scenarios;
# Research projects in the respective fields (international standardization
activities, national/international research projects).

Authors of best-valued papers presented in ARTEMIS2010 will be also invited to
submit a revised and upgraded version of their papers to a Special Issue of
Computer Vision and Image Understanding journal. Papers submitted for the SI
must contain significant new material so they will undergo a second review process.

See web site for complete and updated information.
