Special Issue on Human Abnormal Behavioural Analysis

This special issue concentrates on novel vision-based approaches for Human Abnormal Behavioural Analysis. We focus on all forms of behaviours and all kinds of atypical activities, so, the considered subjects of interest cover a wide area. Encompassing indirectly related topics assisting the development on the foregoing matter as well, which mainly belong to broader categories such as computer vision and machine learning, benefiting from others being partially related to the issue in the aforementioned multidisciplinary context.

Topics:
We encourage submissions including (but not limited to) the following topics:
• Micro Expression recognition for abnormal behavior analysis
• Abnormal activity recognition
• Abnormal gesture recognition
• Hidden emotion recognition
• 2D and 3D biometric recognition for abnormal behavior analysis
• Vision-based multi-modal approaches for abnormal behavior analysis
• Emotion recognition in crowd
• Fake expression recognition
• Early recognition for abnormal behavior analysis in surveillance visual systems
• Outlier detection in e-health visual systems
