Since 1986, IEEE has sponsored workshops on understanding motion from video imagery, but only in the last several years has the acquisition of very high quality video data been so easy to scale to consumer devices, aerial platforms, and large scale camera networks. The need for real-time and scalable algorithms to compute with, understand, and use video data is greater than ever.

This year we particularly encourage submissions that include the analysis of novel sensors (e.g. infrared or polarization sensitive, compressive-sensing, omnidirectional, or microscopy), and varying time scales (high-speed imaging, the analysis of long-time lapse data). In general, article submissions are sought on any area of video processing and motion interpretation, including (but not limited to):

* Multi-sensor and multi-target detection and tracking
* Extraction of semantics from video
* Human activity recognition
* Gesture and gait analysis and recognition
* Low-level motion analysis (Optic flow, motion segmentation, structure from motion)
* Analysis of video data from novel sensors
* Performance evaluation of video understanding systems
* Activity modeling and recogntion
* Video retrieval
* Video for surveillance and biometrics
* Video event detection and recognition
