Important dates in 2007:  The First International Workshop on Video Processing and Recognition (VideoRec'07) is the fourth in a sequence of
workshops organized in the area of  video processing: FPiV'04 , FPiV'05 and VP4S-06.
January 19  Tier 1 submissions
February 20 Acceptance/rejection As its predecessors, the VideoRec'07 workshop is  dedicated to the problems of processing and recognizing video data, 
March 16 Final paper due in particular such as coming from TV, surveillance cameras or web/PDA cameras.
April 10 Tier 2 submissions due
April 15 Tier 2 decisions Submission and reviewing procedure: two-tier archival system   
April 16 Early registration
April 30 Final poster/demo due Logistically, VideoRec'07 follows the organization and standards set by the last year's Workshop on Video Processing for
Security (VP4S-06), which  aims at both:
Printable Call for Papers:      i) distinguishing the papers that contribute significantly to the advances in the area, and 
txt, pdf, html
    ii) providing the forum for discussing and presenting the results for students, researchers and industries. 

To achieve both of these goals, the workshop uses a two-tier submission procedure.
For Attendees: 
(NB: Workshop attendees have to  Tier I submissions: submission and reviewing process
register to CRV'06 conference)
For the Tier I, the original full-size (not more than 8 pages) papers written  analyzing video context for recognition and
Registration Page understanding   applications are welcomed for submission.  Each Tier I submission will be reviewed by three Program
Committee members. Reviewing is double blind (author don't know the reviewers, reviewers don't know the authors). The
Local information goal is to have as vigorous and fair reviewing of all papers as possible. 

Authors:   The Tier I accepted papers will be presented at the oral session and published by IEEE as part of the CRV'07 Proceedings.
A CD version of the Proceedings will be distributed at the CRV'07 conference (archived into the IEEE Computer Society's
Submission instructions digital library and the IEEE's XPlore and IEL digital libraries and indexed through the INSPEC indexing service).

Tier II submission upload page For the Tier II, the workshop invites submissions that are not or may not be accepted for IEEE publishing. This includes
late full papers, posters, demos, student projects reports, industrial projects presentations submissions etc. There are no
