<div>The 2nd International Workshop on Human Activity Detection in multi-camera, Continuous, long-duration Video (HADCV'20) is organized in conjunction with the WACV’20 conference (wacv20.wacv.net) and will focus on human activity detection in multi-camera
video streams. Activity detection has been an active research area in computer vision. The ability to detect human activities is an important task in computer vision due to its potentially wide range of applications such as public safety and security, crime
prevention, traffic monitoring, and control, eldercare/childcare, hospital activity monitoring, and many more. The ActEV (Activities in Extended Video)(https://actev.nist.gov/) series of challenges started in spring 2018 to support the development of technologies
for multi-camera, automatic activity detection algorithms. In this workshop, the aims are to present the research findings of the current ActEV challenges (http<span style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">s://actev.nist.gov/sdl
and https://actev.nist.gov/trecvid19)</span>. The workshop will provide a platform for researchers to share research experiences and foster collaboration. In addition, we are inviting the research community to submit unpublished research papers which will
be published in the IEEE Digital Library on the following topics:<br>
<br>
