AVSS-2022 is the 18^th edition of the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-Based Surveillance, a premier forum for the presentation of new advances and research results in the field of video and signal-based surveillance. The goal is to provide a game-changing and cross-disciplinary forum that brings together experts from academia, industry, and government to advance the frontiers of theories, methods, systems, and applications. AVSS-2022 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (PAMI TC) and the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

AVSS-2022will be held under a virtual format but, if allowed by the pandemic situation, the opportunity of casual in-person interactions and discussions for a limited number of persons (50 first registrations) joining physically at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid will be given.

Conference proceedings: published in IEEE Xplore digital library.

Location: Both virtually and at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
