[visionlist] [CFP - The IEEE Computer Magazine]: Special Issue on ‘Five decades of Biometrics and Video Surveillance: Present Technologies and Future Possibilities’

[Vitomir Struc]

CALL FOR PAPERS - SI in the IEEE Computer Magazine
SI Title: Five decades of Biometrics and Video Surveillance: Present 
Technologies and Future Possibilities

*** Aims and Objectives ***

Biometrics and visual surveillance emerged as the two most promising 
application areas of classical image and video processing. These areas 
have seen a paradigm shift from basic application limited to a computer, 
to as large as pan-nation application. Biometrics and surveillance find 
applications in commercial, government, and forensics. Depending on 
various usage and coverage, the biometric system and visual surveillance 
systems are also designed very differently. The progress in these fields 
is very inclusive in terms of engaging research towards reducing sensor 
sizes, optimizing algorithms, tackling huge databases, providing 
real-time reports etc.
This special issue commemorates the five decades of biometric and visual 
surveillance and will focus on presenting new and incremental research 
depicting present biometric and surveillance technologies and future 
possibilities of them for the current and future generations.
