Abstract

<P> After the successful first meeting in Vienna, the second ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras will be held September 7&#8211;11, 2008 at Stanford University&#046;</P> <P>Distributed smart cameras combine techniques from computer vision, distributed processing, sensor networks, and embedded computing&#046; Technological advances in the design of sensors and processors have facilitated the development of efficient embedded vision&#8211;based techniques&#046; Design of scalable, network&#8211;based applications based on high&#8211;bandwidth data such as images requires a change of paradigm in the processing methodologies, thus creating opportunities for designing distributed and collaborative vision&#8211;based techniques&#046; As a result, novel smart environment applications can be enabled that are interpretive, context aware, and user centric in nature&#046;</P> <P>The conference aims to provide an opportunity for researchers investigating the areas of smart camera architectures, algorithm design, embedded vision&#8211;based processing, and smart environments to exchange their most recent results&#046; Offering insight into the potentials and challenges of distributed vision networks and an outlook of research opportunities ahead are also the objectives of the conference&#046; Presentations accompanied by demonstrations and contributions based on industrial applications are also of interest&#046;</P> <P>The terms &#8243;distributed&#8243; and &#8243;smart cameras&#8243; emphasize the focus of the conference&#046; Papers describing original research in the areas of multi&#8211;camera networks and distributed processing of visual data are solicited&#046;</P>
