Workshop on Distributed Smart Cameras (DSC 2006) Program Held in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2006

October 31, 2006 Boulder, CO, USA

http://www.iti.tugraz.at/dsc06/program.html

Distributed smart cameras combine two concepts: physically distributed cameras and distributed computing. Distributed smart cameras are examples of high-performance multimedia sensor networks. This area brings together researchers in image processing, sensor networks, and embedded system architecture.

Several groups are now working on distributed smart cameras, but generally pursuing them in different research communities. This meeting is the first event to bring together all the research groups working on this problem
