Abstract

AREA 2008 is the first ACM international workshop on analysis and retrieval of events, actions and workflows in video streams. Such research is nowadays critical for many real-life applications, such as area supervision, semantic characterization and annotation of video streams, quality assurance, and security. This workshop consists of 16 high quality papers organized in four thematic sessions. More specifically, the first session is dedicated to new objects tracking algorithms under complex environments and to object labeling techniques. The second session deals with methods, tools and architectures for detecting high level semantics (events, actions, and workflows) in video sequences. The third session presents new algorithms for analyzing video sequences oriented to detecting humans' actions or implicitly annotating multimedia content. Finally, the fourth includes a special session of the recent advantages of the ongoing research projects in the field of multimedia analysis, cognitive video supervision, personalized video annotation, fast retrieval of multimedia content in compressed domain and scheduling tools for interactive multimedia services. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for analysis of events in video streams.
